Critic Reviews

Think of writer-director Waters as the Frank Capra of an alternate universe and this film as his genially twisted version of "It's a Wonderful Life," and you'll begin to understand.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

It's a winning comedy, though some of Pecker's jokes inspire silence and some scenes are awkwardly staged.Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Finding hilarity in John Waters's latest movie title is the basic pre requisite for enjoying the goofy ingenuity of his new film.Full Review

Elvis Mitchell
The New York Times

Frequently funny, just as frequently repulsive, it's filmed in Waters's trademark deadpan style that some adore and some loathe.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

It's also sweet, sentimental, rather funny and, as John Waters films go, surprisingly gentle.Full Review
