Review of Pecker (1998)

By Elvis Mitchell (489) for The New York Times (9,847) on 14 Dec 2003

Finding hilarity in John Waters's latest movie title is the basic pre requisite for enjoying the goofy ingenuity of his new film…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 11 Nov 2003

It's also sweet, sentimental, rather funny and, as John Waters films go, surprisingly gentle…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 05 May 2003

Waters fills the movie with his usual touches of outrageously bad taste, but beneath the sophomoric shocks his story has a serious message…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 09 Apr 2003

I had a great time. It was like skipping school, stealing some comic books, and reading them behind an old abandoned warehouse…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Jeremy Heilman (393) for MovieMartyr.com (391) on 13 Nov 2002

If the rest of John Waters' Pecker was as funny as its first half-hour is, it might have been one of the all-time greats…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 24 Mar 2002

Waters follows these characters through their 15 minutes of fame without ever churning up very much interest in them…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 03 Mar 2002

Writer and director John Waters has fashioned a sassy, irreverent movie about art, fame, culture shock, and class consciousness…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By John A. Nesbit (472) for Old School Reviews (429) on 16 Apr 2001

Light-hearted comedy that could play at multiplexes and will even appear at Blockbuster alongside mainstream comedies…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 09 Jan 2001

It's no doubt rude, and perhaps irrelevant, to point out that John Waters still doesn't know how to make a movie…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Stephen Hunter (927) for Washington Post (9,851) on 06 Nov 2000

Frequently funny, just as frequently repulsive, it's filmed in Waters's trademark deadpan style that some adore and some loathe…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By J.d. Lafrance (2) for Film Threat (5,156) on 10 Sep 2000

Sure, it's lighthearted fare, but that doesn't make it any less of a good film…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 01 Jan 2000

The movie is fast and warmly generous towards just about everyone on the screen…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Elias Savada (386) for Nitrate Online (381) on 01 Jan 2000

John Waters' Pecker (conjure up the image!) is a limp effort in search of a Viagra fix. Too bad the main character's name isn't Cigar…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By David Noh (869) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 01 Jan 2000

The slack comic pacing, uncertain camera angles and simply dead onscreen moments undermine the ebullient party Waters wants to throw…

Review of Pecker (1998)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 20 Sep 1998
