Well first you must prove that you ain't no "square" and then watch that movie. John Waters' teen musical comedy is a real feast of humour and caustic comments about the American society of the 50s. The rawness and power of rebellious teens against the boring and pathetically conservative squares is the story of Cry-Baby, a movie that fires campy darts to everyone who is inside the social system and loves and adores those you fight the system from within. Cry-Baby is a movie that is beautifully choreographed, brilliantly acted and directed with a passion and wit that seems that has come from the deepest desires of John Waters to satirize the American way of living as he always do so wonderfully and so subversively. John Waters is one of the great fathers of social comment inside the USA and for that we love him and keep his movies in a special place that no other director will ever set foot. Cry-Baby is wild, fierce, loving, affectionate, rude, insolent and it's beyond all those one of the greatest experiments to picture the immense power of youth, youth that stands up for its rights, never compromises, always fights and never surrenders. Cry-Baby is one of the greatest teen movies, a film that bewitches you with its memorable character and style and more than that a movie that doesn't forget that the ones with the spirit, the ones who stay against the system are the ones who in the end will definitely win, get the girl and win the day. A loving movie about the anonymous rebels of this world.
