Pecker

Rating:
Summary: Worked for me
Review: If you like movies whose humor would offend the puritanical (e.g. Clerks or Austin Powers) then consider this one. It definately does not suit all tastes but worked fine for me. Some of the acting was a bit amateurish, but that added a bit of charm. Weird.

Summary: CUTE!
Review: What can I say? Pecker is just the cuttest movie I have seen in a long, long time. It's packed with everything! Comedy, sex, and most of all creative pictures that add spice to a young guys life.

Summary: Yawn
Review: This is the first John Waters film I've seen, and I hope his others are better. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Nonetheless it is occasionally cute and sometimes funny, but suffers from uninteresting characters and an unimpressive plot/story to begin with. In this film, Waters seems to go out of his way to be clever and idiosyncratic, but winds up being sensational and trite. Like I said, I hope his other films are better...

Summary: Can this movie be a little more annoying?
Review: John Water's campiness and his ability to turn good actors into laughable bad actors worked for his masterpiece, Hairspray, but I found it irritating in this one. Edward Furlong did his best whining, while Christina Ricci played the biggest brat ever. And speaking of brats, how about that little girl who played Furlong's sister? Those three and a bunch of other overacting cast members made me turn off the VCR after only getting into a third of the movie.

Summary: awesome movie
Review: This is such a great movie! I loved it. It's full of quirky comedy and many familiar faces (Christina Ricci, Edward Furlong, and Brendon Sexton the third to name a few). I definitly suggest you take a few minutes to sit down and take a dip into Pecker's world and get to know "Memama","Little Chrissy", his best friend -the shoplifter extrodinare, his girlfriend who has an obsession with her laundermat and the rest of the kookie characters in Pecker's life. "Pecker" is definitely one of my all time fav's!!!!

Summary: Waters is amazing
Review: I've loved all of Waters' films, and Pecker has become my favorite film of all time. Ricci gives a flat performace, but everyone else is so damn amazing, they make up for her lack of talent. This cute, quirky film is subtle in it's wackiness-- for the more intelligent of Waters fans. Amazing, amazing. I LOVE IT

Summary: Is "full of grace"!!!
Review: Fabulous! Clever! Hilarious! Pecker is, as it should be expected from any movie directed by the Prince of Puke himself, a masterpiece. You will love every single twisted character, from the sugar-addicted Christie to the totally bombastic grandma.

Summary: HI Mary!!!
Review: "I work in a gay bar in baltimore, we call everyone Mary". This is one of the most simple lines but it is made hilarious by the fearless performance of the underrated Martha Plimpton. This John Waters film may not have the outrageousness of past films but if you judge by that then you are proabably too old or just an arnold loving geek whose speed might be Phantom Menace!!! Other great performances come from Ms. Ricci (is she capable of being bad?) and Lili Taylor. A truly funny comedy.

Summary: Whither, John Waters?
Review: This dreadful, unfunny offering from a once-inspired artist is painful to watch. It has the lame, washed-out feel of a bad TV sitcom. It's absolute dead weight from the opening credits. For any John Waters fan, who remembers the hilarity and acute social satire of classics like "Polyester" and "Hairpsray," you can only wonder what happened to the Waters muse. And it's not like he's Woody Allen, churning out a new film every year to dilute his sensibilities. This is an artist in definite crisis. Begin with the cheesy title--Pecker--get it? Alas, it refers to his eating habits. I suppose Waters thought it would be funny for theater patrons to approach the box office and say "I wanna see Pecker. When's it playing?" Not very amusing, and it only gets worse. Edward Furlong, who plays the title character, is a long way from Divine, the transvestite of esrtwhile Waters films. But even Divine couldn't lift the sloppy dialogue to any comedic heights. The scenes are incredibly flat and play out like wallpaper. The characters are only "quirky" because, well, the director thinks they are. Baltimore never seemed so normal. A stunningly bad film from a director who should know better.
