I can only imagine that the popularity of John Waters is due to people under the delusion that they are suppose to like John Waters. As much as I love Sontag I do have to take exception with the focus on camp as a meaningful medium. Certainly there is humor in campy fare like the original Batman series, but when do we simply call tripe for what it is? Cry-Baby, is the greatest example of this, as it is by far the worst film in a list of films by perhaps the most overrated director I have ever come across. Cry-Baby is not goofy, it is not fun, it is not silly, it is not camp, it is simply a terrible terrible movie. The acting is abysmal, and I like Johnny Depp. The story is extremely terrible, and the overall production exemplifies my point: there is no such thing as so bad it is good. Laughing at a film (as opposed to laughing with a film) for it's low brow style cheesiness doesn't make the film funny. This movie seriouly belongs on a MST3K style lampoon, but instead people revel in it for what I can only assume is a sensation that they are suppose to like John Waters. I had a similar sensation when watching Pecker, the other supposed great Waters flick. If you happen upon this film because you have heard of Waters, and are curious, trust me, he is not an artist, and this film is a waste of time. Johnny Depp may be a good actor, but sweet mother of all that is holy, even Ed Wood made better films than this. Avoid John Waters like the plague, because frankly, if I had to choose between dying having the bubonic plague and watching this film again, I would gladly choose the plague.

Cry Baby
I saw Cry Baby when it first came out in the theater. My girlfriend and I, whose name is also Allison as is mine, liked the fact that our name was in the movie. That made it even better. If you like musicals and Johnny Depp, you'll love this movie.

This move was absolutely hilarious. Whoever thought that an Elvis act-a-like would star in this fab of a movie, but the director pulled it off wonderfully. Although the romance between Cry-Baby and Allison was a little predictable, it makes for an awesome movie. The singing and dancing was great to; especially, the part where Allison was singing to the jailer to let Cry-Baby go free!?! This was a magnificent movie and I'd recommend it to anyone.
