Synopsis:

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.

Cult director John Waters goes mainstream (well, sort of) in this send-up of 1950s teen melodramas. Heart-throb Johnny Depp stars in the title role as a glamorous delinquent who heads a gang of hoods known as the Drapes. Wade 'Cry-Baby' Walker (Depp) is the coolest, toughest hood in his Baltimore high school. His ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild, especially Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane). A beautiful, rich, 'square', Allison finds herself drawn into the world of Cry-Baby and his 'drape' pals. Their star-crossed romance sets off a rumble between the warring factions and Cry-Baby ends up doing time in reform school... Will Allison still be there for him when he gets out?

Allison is a 'square' good girl who has decided she wants to be bad and falls hard for Cry-Baby Walker, a Greaser (or 'Drape' in John Waters parlance). Spoofing Elvis movies and Juvenile Delinquency scare films of the '50s, this movie follows the adventures of Cry-Baby who, though he is sent to juvie, is determined to cross class (and taste) boundaries to get Allison back.
