Review of Pecker (1998) by Elaine M — 16 Feb 2009
Pecker is harmless young man whose simple photos of everyday life grant him fame and fortune, which he soon realises he doesn't want, as his comfortable life is transformed into a cluttered mess that loses him his job, and threatens the relationship he has with his family and girlfriend Shelley.
I'm really not a big fan of John Waters' other work, but 'Pecker' has a real charm to it; the story is very simple, but it has some nice little messages, and is put together in a fun way.
Edward Furlong and Christina Ricci are both amazing and are great together onscreen, and the rest of the cast is also good. Although there are some funny moments, others are a little dull and bring down the rating slightly, and it's by no means overwhelming- it's an enjoyable watch, but that's like all.
