Cry-Baby is a 1990 satirical teen romantic comedy film written and directed by John Waters.Set in The '50s, it tells the classic story of Star-Crossed Lovers — "square" Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane) falls for Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker (Johnny Depp), leader of the local "drapes" in their Baltimore neighborhood — and the upheaval their romance causes between the hillbilly drapes and the uptight squares.Did we mention it's a musical? | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Cry-Baby / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The stage musical transforms Cry-Baby's would-be girlfriend Lenora into a bona-fide Stalker with a Crush. It also claims that Cry-Baby's parents were sent to the electric chair for being suspected Communist spies and that Baldwin's grandfather was responsible for it happening. It also includes scenes of Wanda, Pepper and Hatchet-Face in a girls reform school, while Cry-Baby and Dupree are in jail. | |

Game of Chicken: In the conclusion, Cry-Baby challenges Baldwin to a game of chicken, but with both of them riding on the rooftop of their respective cars. Baldwin forces Mrs. Vernon-Williams into his car for her betrayal, telling her that she was born a Square and will die a Square. This was foreshadowed in the beginning, where Mrs. Vernon-Williams almost collides head-on with another car. | |

| Cry-Baby / int_710ae822 | comment |
Butter Face: Played with, the aptly named Hatchetface is introduced in the classic "gag" manner in the opening scene, where two hoodlums standing in line behind her waiting to get vaccinations to reach for her attractively swaying bottom-only to be shocked when she turns around and reveals her flattened nose, crossed eyes, and horrible teeth. Averted in the rest of the film, though she has a very happy relationship with one of the male characters of the film, and none of the Drapes treat her any differently than the gorgeous Wanda, played by Traci Lords. | |

| Cry-Baby / int_c3448a6f | comment |
Informed Attribute: The Drapes' bad, evil ways. We hear that Hatchet-Face is so tough she coulda eaten nails for breakfast, that Pepper's pregnant but she fights as good as any man, that Milton is "young, stupid and mean", and the song "High-School Hellcats" says that all of Cry-Baby's gang is "Friends of the devil, twice as mean", but we never see any evidence of this, except the way they dress. | |

Pregnant Badass: Pepper who manages to put up a tough fight in times of danger even before she gives birth in the film's climax. Of course, this may be because "regular/moderate" smoking takes years if not DECADES to take effect. | |

Smoking Is Not Cool | |
| Cry-Baby / int_f1462f0b | comment |
Smoking Is Not Cool: While the rest of the teenage Drapes, Squares and townspeople smoke cigarettes vicariously showing little to no effects, Hatchet-Face's mother is shown to be quite a heavy smoker, coughing violently even though she continues to smoke the cigarettes. This soon results in her being put in an iron lung machine for support while she and her husband show no shame for their actions and instead put the blame on their only daughter Hatchet-Face in front of the whole courtroom. | |
