	Pecker . FW Weekly . 10-05-98
		Pecker's father (Mark Joy) is justifiably afraid that his neighborhood bar will lose customers to a place across the street, a lesbian strip club where, in violation of Maryland law, pubic hairs are unveiled in close proximity to liquor sales.
		Pecker's mother (Mary Kay Place) is a cheerily fashion-conscious do-gooder who operates a low-rent thrift shop where grateful customers are heard to exclaim: "You always make us homeless people feel good about ourselves!" Chrissy (Lauren Hulsey), Pecker's kid sister, is a sugar addict who literally foams at the mouth when she feeds her addiction.
		Tina (an almost unrecognizable Martha Plimpton), Pecker's older sister, is the enthusiastic mistress of ceremonies at the Fudge Palace, where she repeatedly, but none too strenuously, warns the male clientele to maintain a discreet distance from the go-go boys on stage.

	Review: Pecker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Pecker is a warmhearted comedy about one boy's meteoric rise to fame within the art world.
		Pecker is less than 90 minutes long, but that still seems a little on the fat side.
		Only his girlfriend, Shelley (Christina Ricci), is unhappy, because spending time with Pecker in New York requires that she take a day off from her work as the manager of a laundromat, a job she takes way too seriously.

		As usual, Christina Ricci, as Pecker's girlfriend, steals the show with her sarcastic brand of humor.
		The biggest problem with the casting of the film is the weakness of the lead, Edward Furlong as Pecker.
		Typical of these is the long running joke of Pecker's ventriloquist grandmother, who throws her voice to a large statue of the Virgin Mary.

	Pecker - Movie Review
		Pecker (Edward Furlong) is a happy-go-lucky teen who loves to carry his camera around town taking quick snapshots of the types of characters who have been populating Waters’s films since the ‘70s.

	Metroactive Movies \| Pecker
		The nice-guy Pecker, so free of guile, is the calm at the center of a storm of obsessed characters whirling around him, just like Joel McCrea or Eddie Bracken is in a Sturges movie.
		In Pecker, he creates some imaginary nightspots for the city: the Fudge Palace, a gay strip joint where Pecker's sister (Martha Plimpton) is a barker, and the Pelt Room, where openly lesbian strippers mock the male patrons to their face and call them "suckers." Compared to this lively neighborhood, Manhattan looks dull and stifled.
		Pecker is an interesting counterpoint to another first-rate film this year, High Art, a dead-serious story about the perils awaiting those who try to make their name in the art world.

	John Waters approaches mainstream with "Pecker'
		Pecker is the nickname given to a teener who pecked at his food as a kid (yuk yuk).
		Pecker's photos delight the New York art crowd with closeups of body parts at the Pelt Room - the strip joint across the street from his father's bar - and the Fudge Palace, a gay nightclub where Pecker's sister works, barking out bogus biographies of men dancing on the counter.
		Pecker turns the tables by holding another showing of his photos in Baltimore, this time with pictures of New Yorkers in awkward positions, turning Waters' movie into a study of triple exploitation.

	Christina Ricci: Pecker - Movie
		From start to finish Pecker is a delight and Waters infuses his script with enough loveable oddball characters to populate an entire city.
		Pecker's camera is an early model of the Canonet, a compact camera made over a period of more than a decade (primarily in the 1960s) by Canon for the consumer market.
		Pecker is a slightly more mature work of John Waters.

		"Pecker" is the story of an American teenage photographer from a working class background who becomes "famous," only to discover that fame and art have their price.
		"Pecker" is a lighthearted and often strange comedy, but just under the surface are many issues which merit a Photog's attention.
		By the way, Pecker is the nickname of the aspiring Photog -- given to him by a not so enlightened family from his habit of "pecking" at his food as a child.

		She plays Pecker's older sister, Tina, who works in a gay bar, hiring and firing the go-go boys, who are all "trade dancers", straight men who dance for the amusement of homosexuals.
		She likes Pecker's art work for the right reasons, but the right reasons in New York are very different from Pecker's motives.

		The hero of John Waters' ``Pecker'' got his nickname as a kid, we are told, by pecking at his food.
		Pecker is the most normal member of the family, I'd say.
		After Shelley the girlfriend thinks she sees Pecker kissing the art dealer, for example, she flees broken-hearted into a voting booth, and Pecker follows her into the booth, where they have loud and active sex.

		Pecker not only sees the beauty in fat women and graffiti and his grandmother, and rat's copulating, he also sees the beauty in the male strip club dancers and takes artistic photos of them.
		See, here's another way Pecker is like Waters: The young director often put up flyers around Baltimore promoting his films in his early days and got his friends to star in them and his family to finance them.
		"Pecker" is a sweet, charming and wonderful film from Waters, who is now in his 50's and still as unusual as ever, still the "crackpot," still in love with the uncommon.

	'Pecker' (R)
		His new movie, "Pecker," is an anthem to that metropolis but it also advances an argument about the usage of irony.
		The world according to Pecker (the photos were actually taken by photographer Chuck Shacochis) is grotesque without being menacing, spontaneously stylish (he has the eye), and somehow real.
		This, Pecker is saying, is working-class Baltimore, from his father's faltering bar to the gay club where his sister works to a lesbian strip bar that's moved into the neighborhood to his grandmother's religious delusions to his mother's secondhand store with its collection of shabby '50s merchandise.

		Pecker takes photos of his rather odd family and friends and nobody thinks anything of them until one day a New York art dealer discovers his work and makes him famous.
		It is Pecker's misfortune to have a whole family consisting of these oddballs, but he seems to take it in his stride.
		The DVD is released with a feature on the photographer who took all the photos used in the movie, which should be of interest to everybody who is bitten by the camera bug.

		Edward Furlong as the central character Pecker (named because he pecked at his food as a child) is obsessed with photography.
		Pecker's grandma, Memama (Jean Schertler), does a ventriloquist act with a statue of the Virgin Mary.
		In a scene near the end of the movie, where Pecker explains to his girlfriend that "art is everywhere"--that blood stains and ring-around-the-collar can be beautiful--Waters highlights Pecker's soliloquy with splashes of sparkling color, as if the movie has suddenly turned into a detergent advertisement.

	SPLICEDwire: "Pecker" review
		The only potential mainstream affront in his latest cheap-but-charming yarn is the title -- "Pecker" -- which turns out to be nothing more than a nickname bestowed on the main character because of his eating habits (although we never actually see him eat).
		But "Pecker" is nonetheless 100 percent a John Waters movie, populated by oddballs and loaded with transparent irony at every turn.
		Pecker doesn't become a phony who learns in the end that he belongs back in Baltimore with the people who love him.

	'Pecker': Snapping Away but Eating Like a Bird
		As the title character, allegedly nicknamed Pecker because he eats like a bird, Edward Furlong plays the happy, innocent shutterbug at the center of this giddy satire.
		Pecker takes pictures just because he loves to, and because, like Waters, he thinks art is anywhere and everywhere.
		The film watches what happens when Pecker's photographs of his inner-city Baltimore neighborhood somehow catch the fancy of Manhattan's art establishment (where Lili Taylor sums up the local attitude by telling Pecker that she loves his look).

		"Pecker" might take a while to sink in with old-time fans, as it did with me. I don't know if it's because there are other writers and directors actively pursuing the raunch genre that Waters' pioneered, or because "Pecker" has such simple charms.
		Ed Furlong's Pecker (um, keep reading) is the most functional idiot savant imagineable...a tireless servant to the "art" all around, and completely oblivious to social norms and responsibilities.
