This is a very satisfying movie, and well worth seeing, although I don’t see it as being one worth seeing over and over again. Young boy takes pictures, has a “gallery opening” at the local fast food joint where he works, is discovered by a New York gallery owner, becomes famous, and convinces art critics to leave New York. Lots of John Waters’ trademark Weird People™ populate Pecker’s life.

One of the most interesting things on this DVD is not the movie, but John Waters’ commentary. After you watch the movie, you can then watch a commentary where Waters talks about the various scenes as they come up, and he’s a very interesting person.

Recommendation: Rent Soon!

“Joseph wore a tuxedo, tattered and dirty, with his hat in his hand, while Mary wore a torn and stained white dress. Jesus was swaddled in newspaper and slept peacefully in a shopping cart. Singing policemen kept their watch by night. If you wound them up, they sang the melody to Silent Night. The three wise men were there as well. They dropped coins into Joseph’s hat.”
