Pecker

One of my favorite films because it pushes all the right buttons for me. It has a goofy, lighthearted tone with a great ensemble cast of eccentric characters and a fun soundtrack. The story of Pecker's unlikely rise as a celebrated photographer pokes fun at celebrity and the absurdity of "serious" art and those who promote it.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, esse filme tem uma história desinteressante, mesmo com o Edward fulong como o principal do filme, o filme não funciona em quase em nenhuma parte do filme.

A film that loses itself the longer it chugs along.

“Pecker” is less provocative than much of Waters' filmography, but it still delivers sharp commentary on art, fame, and class consciousness that will resonate with many a misfit.

Furlong can't pull it off but the script does him no favors.

An Americana! What art is and all that hopeful stuff...

This has got to be at least a little autobiographical. Furlong is really charming as an obsessed, well-intentioned photographer who stumbles into stardom. It's a fun flick.

I wanted to give this movie 4 stars but didn't I am a huge John Waters fan and of his movies. I meet him at a meet and greet years ago this is one of my faves from John Waters. Kind of camp, funny, cringe and odd but still a good movie to see if you are a fan of John Waters and his movies.

Pecker is far too short.

Pecker is a warmhearted comedy about one boy's meteoric rise to fame within the art world. Along the way, Waters finds ample opportunity to satirize New York culture, Baltimore culture, and movies about how people's personalities are changed when they get their 15 minutes in the spotlight. While all of this sounds passably interesting, Pecker is not well-focused. Isolated moments offer a few good laughs, but, taken as a whole, there's not much here to hold an audience's attention. The best comedies feature at least one or two endearing characters; Pecker doesn't take the time to develop anyone beyond a sketchy outline. And the plot, despite the detours into straight parody, is aimless and plodding. Pecker is less than 90 minutes long, but that still seems a little on the fat side. (Occasionally funny).
