Cry Baby, a strong and sensitive girl, is sent off to a disturbing sleepaway school that’s hidden underneath a grandiose façade. Luckily, she has a sweet and unapologetic best friend who sticks up for her when she gets bullied by the other students whose brains are under control by the Principal and his wicked staff. With the help of the magical friends they meet along the way, as well as an Angelic Spirit Guide, they are able to gain the strength they need to fight off the school’s belligerent patriarchal conditioning.

My quick rating - 5,2/10. It looks interesting, and the story is so cliche. The singing is painfully dubbed and far too obvious it is. I don't believe the makers of this movie really had an idea of what type of movie they wanted to make, high school angst? unsettled witches? a musical? Or just tossed in a little bit of these ideas and made everyone look weird, and called it a fantasy. Either way I got very little out of it and though it has a redeeming quality here and there, I wouldn't recommend it nor would ever watch it again.
