''Cry-Baby'' is a 1990 film directed by [[John Waters]]. It tells the classic story of [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] — [[The Ingenue|"Square"]] Allison Vernon-Williams falls for Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, leader of the local "drapes" in their small Maryland town — and the upheaval their romance causes between the hillbilly drapes and the uptight squares. [[The Musical|Did we mention it's a musical?]] It's also an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the whole genre of films, good-naturedly mocking other entries like ''Grease''.

Line 12:
* [[Badass Grandma]]: Ramona Rickets and, eventually, Mrs. Vernon-Williams.
* [[Be a Whore to Get Your Man]]: Averted, with Lenora, and Allison, who Cry-Baby thought was cute before her sexy makeover.
** It's also heavily implied that while he certainly doesn't mind her nice body or the makeover, that Cry-Baby is mostly attracted to Allison's ''personality''.
* [[Camp]]: Well, it ''is'' John Waters, after all.
* [[Car Fu]]: The "chicken" showdown at the climax.
