Cry-Baby Ratings & Reviews
- maddiechismSeptember 22, 2025now fuck johnny depp, but this is a perfect movie, clearly review bombed by a bunch of squares, deserves nothing but 5 stars. only requires a bit of imagination to think of crybaby as a butch lesbian. i remember i used to love this movie as a kid and man did i have good taste, so glad i revisited this because its so much better than i ever even remembered. and what a perfect choice from me to watch it in the morning, gonna be riding the high from this for the rest of the day.
- honkycatJanuary 13, 2026Fun and funny. A relic of an earlier time. Classic Depp.
- tmmzhFebruary 23, 2025I know what they were TRYING to do with this film ( campy, teenage angst, self-aware, we are in on the joke, F the system typical trope that Hollywood thinks makes a social commentary, but its the same old recycled stuff. Depp did the best with what he was given. And Traci Lords did a good job. That's about it.
