Yep. Honest to Joe, it's the FOURTH real-live NEW movie I've seen this year. What's worse...(wait is there something worse??) is that I could have & should have seen this movie as a high school kid. I
think know my sister told me about how awesome
John Waters is, but it wasn't enough, so I skipped seeing
Cry-Baby when I should have, and instead, just watched it last week as I folded laundry. (That is how glamorous my life is...)
I liked it. OK. I liked it okay. I didn't LOVE it. And really, what I thought, was that it was a not-great ripoff of Waters' own movie,
Hairspray. Not as sharp, not as textured, not as...well...good.
Ah well. I'm sure I can see
another movie this year.
Oh, this was my introduction to John Waters. And Johnny Depp. I love this movie beyond reasonable limits. It's been a few years--I should rewatch this one!
