Critic Reviews of "Cry Baby"
Gene Siskel Chicago TribuneJanuary 21, 2015For a while the actors seem intimidated by the '50s references, but the film eventually develops a musical energy that carries the day.
Peter Rainer Los Angeles TimesJanuary 21, 2015Cry-Baby is often sweet-spirited even when its crummy, but there's also something fetid in its foolery.
Carrie Rickey Philadelphia InquirerJanuary 21, 2015If Cry-Baby has a message, it's that Cry-Baby and Allison deserve each other because they're young and they're beautiful, which certainly runs counter to Waters' affection for the grotesque, the bad and the ugly.
Michael Upchurch Seattle TimesJanuary 21, 2015It all adds up to zany, wide-eyed, quintessential Waters havoc -- the "kinder, gentler" 1990s brand, perhaps. But the genuine article, nonetheless.
Jay Boyar Orlando SentinelJanuary 21, 2015I don't quite know how Waters did it (and I have absolutely no idea why he did it), but the fact that Cry-Baby is fun suggests that the filmmaker possesses an instinctive understanding of what made those Elvis pictures so successful in the first place.
Alan Jones Radio TimesJanuary 21, 2015The nostalgic delights in Waters's reform school drool are often more subtle than his other period offering, Hairspray, but it's still a polished debunking of pop culture from the "Pope of Trash".
Ron Wolfe Tulsa WorldJanuary 21, 2015It has a great score of obscure '50s rock and doo-wop. It has the candy-colored look of a '50s musical. What it doesn't have is a moment of anything that seems remotely real.
Ralph Novak People MagazineJanuary 21, 2015Waters's writing is woefully uneven. It's as if Sam Kinison had decided to tell knock-knock jokes -- sterile, unfunny knock-knock jokes at that.
Gary Thompson Philadelphia Daily NewsJanuary 21, 2015As Waters moves to a more conventional type of satire, he is losing some of the edge that gave his earlier films their crass appeal.
Dan Webster Spokesman-Review (Washington)January 21, 2015John Waters progressed from the truly disgusting ("Pink Flamingoes") to the truly funny ("Hair Spray") only to now hit the mainstream wall.
Candice Russell South Florida Sun-SentinelJanuary 21, 2015Cry-Baby takes digs at Jailhouse Rock in a musical number that Elvis would have loved to do.
