Cry-Baby
Good girls want him bad. Bad girls want him worse.
A campy, affectionate pastiche of 1950s rock 'n' roll musicals that celebrates youthful rebellion and cross-class romance with theatrical irreverence and infectious energy.
A prim and proper schoolgirl goes against her society grandmother's wishes when she dates a motorcycle-riding juvenile delinquent.
