John_Waters does a quirky spin on '50s nostalgia in Cry-Baby, his musical homage to Rebel Without a Cause and +Romeo and Juliet. Set in Baltimore in 1954 at the birth of rock & roll, the film features Johnny_Depp as Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker. Depp is pure charisma as a juvenile delinquent with a permanent tear slithering down his cheek, a reminder of his state-executed parents. In the depths of his despair appears goody-goody girl Allison (Amy_Locane), who has a sexual crush on Cry-Baby. But Allison's Pat_Boone-like boyfriend, Baldwin (Stephen_E._Miller), the leader of the squares, is dead set against Cry-Baby and the rest of the juvenile delinquents and leads a revolt against them. In the resultant riot, the juvenile delinquents are blamed for the chaos, and Cry-Baby finds himself dispatched to reform school. Paul Brenner, Rovi
