Critics consensus

“John Waters' musical ode to the teen rebel genre is infectious and gleefully camp, providing star Johnny Depp with the perfect vehicle in which to lampoon his pin-up image.”

It would be excessively generous to call Cry-Baby a satire, but its parody of what enchanted and excited teenagers more than 30 years ago is energetically delivered by Waters and the enthusiastic cast.

Budd Wilkins

RTSlant MagazineJun 7, 2024

Packed with catchy musical numbers, John Waters’s Cry-Baby is a riotous satire of ’50s teen idol and JD films that still has something to say about class in America.

In fact, the movie is so good- humored that it stands in marked contrast to almost every other mainstream American film out now...

Often it's just either pointless or tiresomely campy.
