Summary: Soft-Porn for High School kids - VERY DATED!
Review: "Porky's" did for high school kids what "Animal House" did for twenty-somethings. At 15 we might get a few thrills out of peeking into a girls shower room at the gym, or at a bench-full of naked horny jocks awaiting their first "time" (even if it's with a raunchy hooker). Once you graduate high school you tend to move on to better comedy with less emphasis on t&a and all the trimmings.Set in late 50s Florida (total redneck country), our team of frustrated heroes set out to see first-hand what all the fuss is about reagrding the notorious "Porky's", a breeding ground for gambling, under-age drinking and of course prostitution. -- If you like those ideas, along with a long line of dirty (and practical) jokes, you will love this movie! As a middle-aged, experienced movie-goer, I would consider "Porky's" to be among my last choices (if given a variety to pick from). For kids of all ages (especially 12-15 year old boys), this "comedy" will always be a welcomed delight!***

Summary: UNSPEAKABLY VULGAR--I LOVED IT!
Review: Some fifteen years ago, my then-teenage nephew coaxed my sister into renting this for him and after dinner we plunked it into the VCR. Ten minutes later my mother declared it "UNSPEAKABLY VULGAR" and stomped out of the room while uttering dire warnings about the fate of those who exposed themselves to such purile material. Well, Mother was right: it is purile, maybe even to the point of being unspeakably vulgar! But it's also a lot of fun. The plot is lightweight: a group of sex-crazed Florida highschool boys desperate to lose their virginity try to do precisely that by visiting Porky's, a swamp-water red-neck brothel and general den of inquity. When they get robbed and beaten up by Porky and his minions, they plot an elaborate revenge that is... well... sure to bring down the house! The plot is really just the string that holds together a series of elaborate practical jokes--the sort of jokes you always heard about when you were a kid and wondered if any one ever really could pull them off. The largely no-name cast, especially Dan Monahan (Pee Wee, so named for his, er, shortcomings), Kaki Hunter (Wendy, the highschool floozie), and Nancy Parsons (Beulah Balbricker, the Godzilla of girls' gymn teachers), play it with an engagingly light touch--and somehow manage to give it an aura of innocence that adds to the movie's charm. The film drags a bit due to the script's well-intentioned but ho-hum subplot concerning the racism a Jewish boy encounters at Angel Beach High School, but that aside the comic episodes are a laugh riot--and it's impossible to describe them without giving the fun away. There's Cherry Forever, the discovery of why Miss Honeywell is called "Lassie," the truly hilarious and infamous girls' shower scene and its aftermath in the principal's office... just one after another, thick and fast. It will never make any critic's shortlist, but if you're looking for mindless lunacy done with a youthful innocence, PORKY'S may just be the film you're looking for. The DVD has near-zip in the way of extras, and although it is offered here in pan-and-scan there are widescreen prints available. Recommended for that rainy afternoon when you want to remember what you wished your teenage years were like!

Summary: Contains Full Frontal Male and Female Nudity!
Review: Every once in a while I like to watch something so silly I can forget my own problems. I remember seeing Porky's in the theater twenty years ago at the age of 19. I just saw it again now at the age of 39. Porky's is still a hoot. You will laugh so hard your tummy will hurt. This film is NOT for children to see nor hear. This film contains full frontal male nudity and full frontal female nudity and sexual content. The second film is Porky's II: The Next Day (1983), followed by Porky's Revenge (1985).

Summary: The video with additional visual material cut out
Review: Buyer beware. If you think this is the widescreen theatrical version, it's not. This "widescreen" version takes the video version and lops off even more visual material. If you're looking for something closer to what was actually released in theaters, get the VHS version, because this DVD only "perseves the aspect ratio of its orginal theatrical exhibition." It's not the orginal theatrical exhibition.

Summary: Old and Dated, Overhaul Needed
Review: I first saw this movie on TV in 1986. I must confess that I thought it was the funniest movie ever. Maybe it was because I was 18 then or perhaps back then anything with sex and teens with humour sells. I had the opportunity of seeing Porkys again in 2001 with a my 18 year old nephew. Sad to say, the movie held up poorly over time. Neither of us thought it was funny. I was especially embarassed as I had recommended it so highly. The acting was awful, situations contrived. I must say that American Pie is a much better movie.

Summary: For this type of movie there's a lot better
Review: I always heard how great this movie was and just recently got to see it in its entirety. To me it didn't have as many funny sports and not nearly the amount of T&A I always heard of its reputation for. For this type of movie modern day things like American Pie and even things back in this movie's generation like Hardbodies blows it away in comedy and in chicks. Miss Honeywell did look damn fine though I'll give it that, the sex in the boys locker room was a really hot segment.

Summary: Best part is Kim Catrall
Review: It was a well-timed film, and it certainly opened new doors in comedy that hadn't been open before. Unfortunately, one of those doors unleashed a flood of PORKY'S ripoffs, but imitation is to be expected every time a film makes as big of an impact as this good little sex comedy. Bob Clark (who used to make horror films with his partner Alan Ormsby, such as DERANGED and DEATHDREAM) makes a comfortable switch to comedy with this horny film...but his best move here was casting Kim Catrall as Miss Honeywell. To this day she remains quite a sex kitten, but to me this will always be her best moment.

Summary: plenty of good laughs
Review: I remember watching this movie 19 years ago and laughing my head off particuliarly at the boys night to remember at porkies nightclub and the ending where they get their revenge on porky and destroy his nightclub. The humor and story line in this movie hold up well through time.

Summary: Ah¿ They Don't make 'em like This anymore.
Review: "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Porkies", "Ben Hur". Which of these films is the Odd One Out?... Yes, you guessed it... "Citizen Kane" flopped when it was first released, the others were all Successes. By now you must have realised that I hope "Porkies" in Very High Regard, as it Deserves to be. Many believe that "Animal House" is the best 80's guys movie, but in my humble opinion, nothing holds a Candle to "Porkies". Following Pee-wee, Billy, Mickey, Tommy, Wendy, Meat and the gang on their First and Funniest Sex-fuelled Adventure is one of the Greatest joys that Cinema has Provided. It's now 20 Years since it's release, and Raunchy Comedies Still haven't Bested this True Classic, and I Doubt they ever will. Among my favourite scenes are, of course, the "Shower Scene", the "Lassie" scene, the "Tallywacker" scene... Virtually Every scene is classic. Kim Cattrell proves once again that she has More than just looks; she is a Natural Born Comedienne. If you've Seen it before, you'll know what I'm Talking about, if you've only seen its Sequels.. Shame on you, and if your looking for a Raunchier version of "American Pie" set in the 80's, Look no further.
