Cry-Baby **** (1990, Johnny Depp, Ricki Lake, Amy Locane) – Classic Movie Review 2095
Writer-director John Waters’s infectiously campy 1990 spoof teen musical romantic comedy stars the young and sexily cute Johnny Depp, who was 26 but looks about 16. Depp radiates star quality as the tough teen rebel of […]
