No Room For Tears, This DVD Has It ALL!!!

FINALLY it's here and released on DVD, Cry-Baby the Director's Cut! This extended version is worth every penny for the serious, die-hard Cry-Baby fans. Like myself, who knows every line word-for-word, I of course found myself getting tongue tied and silent on parts that were new to me for the first time. Things started to make sense to me with the included scenes, for instance what seemed to be out-of-place scenes of the sleezy Kojo character, or the infamous courtroom scene where the "F" word is bleeped out repeatedly (not in this version friends!). Mysteries like this and much more are revealed through the indepth "It Came From Baltimore" featurette. Always wondered why you saw a different version of the movie on TV as opposed to the theatrical version on your then VHS? Or what about that classic pic on the back of your VHS cover of Wanda (Tracey Lords) seductively lying in a large champagne glass that you never saw in the original? And just what does the cast look like almost 15 years later? Loads of deleted scenes and extras make this worth the wait for anyone who has grown to love this cult classic. And the thought of John Waters playing with our emotions during the sit-down interview about bringing this movie, like Hairspray, to Broadway, makes you appreciate it all the more!

The Next Big Musical on Broadway?

I highly recommend Cry-Baby to those who enjoy musicals and/or the work of Johnny Depp. I also recommend this movie to people who typically do not like musicals because they find musicals to be too "campy". This movie actually mocks the campiness of musicals in a light-hearted and humorous way. The music itself is rockabilly, a mix of early rock and country. The story takes place in Baltimore in the 1950's. Johnny Depp plays Wade "Cry-Baby" walker, a Drape (Baltimore's version of a Greaser) and lead singer/ guitarist of a rockabilly band. Cry-Baby and a Square named Allison, played by Amy Locane, fall in love. The problem is that Allison already has a boyfriend. Like Allison, her boyfriend is a Square and becomes very jealous of Cry-Baby. Of course, the inevitable happens: the two classes of people, the Drapes and Squares, wind up fighting. Do Cry-Baby and Allison wind up together? You'll have to watch the movie to find out! You should also check out the bonus features, which include the following: "It Came From Baltimore" (commentary from the director John Waters and the cast), optional commentary during the movie by John Waters, and deleted scenes. Caution to those who care about ratings: the "F" word is mentioned three times in non-sexual ways. There is also a lot of sexual humor, such as a scene in which couples are shown so closely that you can see all the moves they make with their tongues. In other words, this movie barely squeeked by with a PG-13 rating. Young teens might have a lot of questions about behavior and slang terms... The bonus features are definitely "R" rated. But anyway, I loved this movie and keep hearing that it will become a Broadway musical. I can't wait! Now, if only we could get Mr. Depp to go on Broadway for a season or two... Hmmm...

Where is the theatrical version?

The director's cut is good, but the original version is better!

a unique Johnny Depp movie

This musical uses young Johnny's musical talent. It is a classic teenager story. It is well done and entertaining. A must have for any Johnny Depp fan.

Crybaby

The movie is outrageous, with a notorious cast, '50s Baltimore setting and gross out scenes.
