Pecker's alright, it's a little bland for a Waters film. But if you're a fan, you should still appreciate it somewhat. The jokes that make fun of art snobs work well enough, and the talking Virgin Mary statue gag, though not as funny (to me) as it was intended to be, was at least memorable. Edward Furlong and Christina Ricci both give pretty strong performances, but for some reason a lot of the delivery just seems off. Definitely not one of his best flicks, but I'd still pick it up if I found a cheap copy of the DVD somewhere. It's worthy of a download, to say the least.
