Cry Baby
Starring: Johnny Depp Directed by: John Waters Rated PG-13 Synopsis: A 1950's teen rebel and a country club beauty fall in love. My Thoughts: This movie was supposed to be a parody of all the teenie-bop movies, I can see how, it does poke fun at them, but overall this movie wasn't all that good. Scorecard: Acting - A very young Johnny Depp stars as a rebel with a cause. The acting in this movie gave me a headache. It seemed as though Depp was trying way to hard to be the outcast, and it just didn't work. (0) Direction - I'm still not sure where this movie was supposed to go. The direction wasn't terrible, but when you have problems following the movie, that is where you need to turn, and I really had problems following the movie, I am not sure if it was because I was disinterested or because the movie didn't make much sense. (0) Story - Everyone has seen the story before. The good little rich girl falls for the rebel. It's the same overdone story, this movie was made in 1990 and even back then the story was overdone. But the did try a little, so I really can't rightfully give it a zero (1/2) Expectations - I had none going into this movie. It looked bad from the moment I picked it up from the shelf of my local Front Row Video store. (PLUG!!!), this movie neither shocked me nor disappointed me. (1/2) Boring? - While I really wouldn't say this movie is boring. It is dull. There is nothing really exciting about this movie. But some of the tunes sung in this movie are catchy so I can't give it a zero here. (1/2) Final Score: 1 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: This movie was a musical. Not too many musicals are great anyways. this is no different. I think I have seen 2 really good musicals transcend onto the silver screen really well. This wasn't one of them.
