Cry-Baby

Cry-Baby, as a John Waters musical comedy spoofing 1950s juvenile delinquency films, primarily elicits **Humor** through its campy absurdity, exaggerated characters, and satirical take on the era. **Joy** and **Happiness** are prominent due to the vibrant musical numbers, the rebellious spirit, and the ultimately triumphant, albeit quirky, romance. **Love** is central to the plot, driving the core relationship. A strong sense of **Nostalgia** for the 1950s aesthetic and its cinematic tropes also plays a significant role for many viewers.
