Story about a young man nicknamed Pecker (Edward Furlong), because as a child he would peck at his food. Pecker enjoys taking pictures of his working class Baltimore neighborhood and its residents which leads to an exhibit in the sub shop where he works. He is discovered by a New York gallery owner (Lili Taylor) which inevitably leads to fame which causes everything the young man enjoys about his life to change.
Lots of eccentric characters especially among his family and some amusing insights into celebrity and individuality, with the exception of the art gallery stuff which has been targeted so many times before that it really doesn't have an edge.
It's a light comedy with an above average cast and while it offers nothing spectacular its still quite enjoyable.
