This is 100% pure John Waters material. One of only a few "main stream" projects, "Cry Baby" delivers a fantastic 1950s Sound Track, even if the story goes off on bizarre tangents.
Johnny Depp is perfect as the "greaser" going after the "debutante". Watch for Rock Icon Iggy Pop and 50's torch singer Polly Bergen in small (but delicious) roles.
This big budget effort still has "Pink Flamingos" and "Female Trouble" written all over it. It doesn't quite measure up to the widely accepted "Hairspray", thus is mainly for the college camp circuit, but the golden oldies are definitely first class!
