  1. 5 Stars  Rated 5 out of 5!
    A must-see for photographers

    There’’s a deeper understanding for this movie from photographers, especially pro-level amateurs who keep a day job to support themselves. Almost anyone familiar with the so-called "art scene" will also find many poignant moments. There’’s a lot of visual and verbal innuendos, so it’’s great viewing the second and third time around. John Waters fans will love it.
  2. 4 Stars  Rated 4 out of 5
    If we are normal?

    If you like Waters, you will like this film. As for the guy who said you won’’t like this if your "Normal", What is normal again? You? Sorry sir, you have a disorder known as solipsism, where you think the universe actually revolves around your conciousness and "normal" is defined by you. Wake up dude. Normal is relative to perception, a concept you obviously can’’t grasp. I think this is why you don’’t like this movie, you couldn’’t apply it to your "normal" life, which is life where you don’’t have to think, just process information with mouth hanging open.

    If you can think for yourself, watch this film, if you are a slack jawed, drooling fool, find something "Normal".

  3. 1 Star  Rated 1 out of 5
    If you’’re normal, you’’ll hate it

    Pecker’’s been out for 5 years and it has a whopping 46 reviews (you’’re about to read the 47th. That tells you something: The maker of this movie has a following, and the following is WEIRD.

    The movie isn’’t funny. Not even a little. The acting seems deliberately awful (maybe it’’s a movie that makes fun of people who act. God only knows). The background music seems deliberately awful. I normally don’’t notice background music in a movie (except a thriller), but this one you notice, because the music is obnoxious and distracts the already unbelievably stupid scenes.

    Who cares. Look. "Adult Film" actors put forth a better job of acting. Every single scene leaves you wondering if you should turn off the movie. And guess what? I didn’’t make it through. I kept waiting for it to get better, and it never did. After a half hour, off it went.

    Seriously, if you’’re not familiar with John Waters, don’’t buy it. If you’’re stubborn and you’’re thinking of renting it, get a backup movie just in case you found it as horrible as I did.

    And remember: If you’’re normal and into normal movies, you definitely will hate this movie. Maybe if you like totally weird movies that make absolutely no sense and the whole point of the movie is to showcase horrible acting, then it’’s your cup of tea. It’’s not slapstick comedy. It’’s just stupid.
