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!
