US teen heart-throb Johnny Depp plays Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, the coolest dude in school and the baddest boy in Baltimore. Rich, prim, new girl Alison thinks he's a dream, her grandmother thinks he's a nightmare. An even weirder cast than 'Hairspray' in this quirky, offbeat musical extravaganza that's got a touch of traditional John Waters shock stuff, but is predominately a parody of both 50s teen rebellion and 50s teen musical flicks. Its reputation has grown hugely with time.

Certification18 Our Rating
Veronica is a dissatisfied member of the in-crowd at high school until she meets JD, a cool newcomer to town, and they decide to play a practical joke on the 'queen bee', unaware she's about to become complicit in a series of murders. An offbeat, highly original and very black teen comedy. Brilliant, one to watch.
