Cry Baby

Cry Baby is great, we've watched it with our older kids time and again, it never fails to bring a smile to your face.

Johnny Depp is brilliant, so too is the cast of oddballs like Rikki Lake, Iggy Pop, and Tracy Lords.

Depp plays the anti-hero, trailer-park trash who falls for a middle-class beauty and suffers the reaction of her class in small-town America.

Funny scenes follow one after another, Depp playing it straight while director John Waters gets good hammed-up performances from all around.

Good songs, daft dialogue and enjoyable choreography all make this a very pleasant film to watch, a far better and more adult piece of film than 'Grease' to which it is frequently compared.

The end of the film seems to drag on a little with an unnecessary game of chicken, but cannot spoil the feel-good factor.

Well worth watching and watching again.
