    Pecker is a satire, but an incredibly good-natured one, which is not quite the contradiction in terms it might seem.

    His unique vision as a committed artist and unrepentantly crude joker makes this sweet, disarming, intelligent fun.

    It's a turning-the-tables story a five-year-old could appreciate -- except for the confusing crowd scenes and haphazard camera work. Technically speaking, Waters' skills haven't improved much over the years.

    It's John Waters. You already know whether you want to see it. As Waters' films go, eh, it's a pretty good one. It's probably the last one he's made that's easy to digest - ie not loud and obnoxious like Cecil B. DeMented and not an extended pantomimic injoke like A Dirty Shame. Gotta respect Waters, but be selective. Oh my god, they're remaking Hairspray. Review over, more calls to make.… Expand

    I don't know why everyone's saying it's gross or bothersome. There is really nothing gross about the movie. If I hadn't seen that he directed it from the credits I would have never known. If you want to see a gross Waters film check out Pink Flamingos. That's a goodie. Pecker was alright, pretty entertaining.… Expand
