Before the crude and raunchy sex comedies of this generation (American Pie) which had axed the humor in return for only appealing to horny teenage boys there was Porky's. And as much as I would assume that Bob Clark's film had the same type of reaction during the time of its initial release as films like the American Pie saga do now; I think Porky's stands out past those as a true comedy that works.

Bob Clark is such a interesting director, one whom I am proud to say I am a fan of. What kind of guy starts his career making underrated horror gems then onto sex and adult comedies and finally crashing (no pun intended) at family friendly…

Porky's is a film which I have been aware of for a long time now (mostly due to that shower scene) but one which I actually knew very little about, so was appreciative for the push required to finally check this film out. I must admit towards the beginning I thought I would really struggle, but as the story and characters developed I found myself really warming to the cast. There are some scenes which were genuinely hilarious (I won't mention any specifics because I don't want to ruin the surprise of any of the jokes) and overall I just had a great time with the film. The majority of the narrative steers clear of tackling any serious subject matter…

Although watchable Porky's is also very dumb and poorly put together. Early on in the film I laughed. In the notorious shower scene I laughed. But as the film progresses it just starts to get boring. The film's tagline suggests "You'll be glad you came". Get it? "Came"? That's pretty much what sums up this movie. Some people may not be fond of the American Pie series which I'm guessing was influenced by Porky's. However at least American Pie puts hard work into it's characters. They are all very likeable, very funny and reasonably well acted. The movies those characters are in may be absurd. They may be immature. But they are trying hard to get a laugh and trying…

A real classic of our youth and for many the real first American Pie. Never has any movie caused more bulges in the pants, even before people actually saw it. I just rewatched it after a few good years and I have to say that it had its time..the jokes just seem dull for today’s standards and most of its charm got lost somewhere in the 80’s.
The Plot (if there is any) is just a regular high school in middle of nowhere, USA, where all kinds are horny. The boys from high school go to this titty bar called Porky’s where the owner, Mr. Porky has fun stealing and humiliating the kids when they go down there to pork…
