Porky's

I didn't like any of the characters and would've enjoyed seeing them further victimized by the corrupt hillbillies at Porky's bar. There was just something smug and smarmy about their attempts to have sex. And I never thought what they did was as funny as they did. They crack themselves up the whole movie.
It made me realize that what really works in comedy is when the characters DON'T find their predicaments so hilarious.
(Although the old principal cackling at the gym teacher's description of the shower scene was funny).

When the movie tries to find something to say (about anti-Semitism), it comes off as clunky and definitely unfunny.
On the prurient side, one of my buddies was disgusted by the abundance of male nudity. "Come on, who wants to see all these naked guys running around!"

I know humor is highly subjective, but I never liked PORKY's. And the sequels? Forget about it.
But I did like THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS.
Go figure.

During the 1980's it seemed like the screens where beeing flocked with useless teenage films where woman showed there breasts and the kids partyd in a moive with no plot!

This movie is not one of those cheesy 80's flicks! altho it does go along the same lines this movie always has me in side splitting laughter every time! Its hilarious gags and jokes of a bunch of kids in highschool have one crazy time trying to get into a strip club and beeing rejected and humiliated by the owner! So they plan there revenge to get back at him!

No bonus features is not a problem with this movie! If your into a dirty type of comedy then this is the must have! I cant say either of its seaqulls are any good, so my recomendation is just get the first one here! Its not a fammily comedy, its not a movie you will want to show to your grandmother, its got planty of crude and rudeness. But if your like me, youll love! I even stole my user name here from a joke from the movie!!!!

This aint a comedy you can sit and watch with the fammilly due to its filthy little bits and peaces! But for those who like a cheeky comedy then you cant go past Porkys!

Its hillarious and fun and i need not reveiw it as many would have done so by now for you to get the idea of the plot!

I hadnt laughed so hard in years untill i recently saw this film for the first time, and i was still in side splitting pain from laughing so hard the second time around!

This is a great comedy! and a must see for those of you who like that dirty type of comedy like i do! After all, where do you think my username came from? :)

I gotta only recomend part 1 tho! Part 2 & 3 I thought where no where near as good as the first, maybe if you find them dirt cheap theyd be worth owning just to keep as a collection, but this first one is the must have for you fans of smut comedy!

I also recomend "Screwballs" to go with this! if it ever gets released on DVD?


A comedic classic, but is it art?   December 1, 2003

"Porky's" was well-known for years after its release; I must have been about six years old, but by the time I hit grade four, guys were still talking about it. By then, I had another classic raunchfest to represent my generation ("Revenge Of The Nerds"), but "Porky's" need take no truck from later pretenders to the throne.

Director Bob Clark went on to direct other films, including two progressively worse sequels, but this one will forever stand the test of time. Kim Cattrall is immortalized as 'Miss "Lassie" Honeywell' in the 2nd funniest section of the movie, and Dan Monahan may never live down being typecast as "Pee Wee", but over twenty years later, the jokes still work.

The T&A doesn't tittilate as much now as it did then, but you can still imagine teen boys laughing hysterically the first time they watch it. I will confess to having a bit of sentimental feelings for this film, hence the 3 star rating. A lousy movie, yes. But endlessly watchable.

Live with the hypocrisy.
