Theatrical trailer

Irresistible bad boy Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker's (Johnny Depp) amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful "square" who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dream juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women.

Pre-order Cry-Baby.
