John Waters, the originator of good-natured, bad-taste comedy, returns to his native Baltimore for this comedy about outrageous fortune. Unassuming young Pecker (Edward Furlong) is happy with his job at a sandwich shop and his hobby of snapping photos at home. But when the trendy New York art world discovers his pictures of his bizarre family members, Pecker becomes a celebrity. Christina Ricci, Lili Taylor, Martha Plimpton and Mary Kay Place star along with Waters regulars Mink Stole and Patty Hearst.                                John Waters---USA---1998---86 mins.
