Porky's

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Gleeful in its misogyny and celebratory of bad behavior, Porky's is an intermittently funny farce that will leave audiences feeling in need of a shower.

Scott Cain Atlanta Journal-Constitution A sequel to this ghastly comedy is already in production. What a shame. Rated: 2/5 Nov 9, 2021 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution The jokes are so unremittingly cheap, so purely predictable, that "Porky's" is less shocking or amusing than boring. Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Perry Stewart Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Because of the high quality of Decree and other Clark films, most of us expected Porky's to be a lot better than it is. Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It’s a limp film (pun fully intended). Rated: 2/4 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review John Stark San Francisco Examiner [A] vulgar, sexist, racist, sadistic, juvenile, scatological, gross movie. Rated: 1/4 Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Bill Cosford Miami Herald Clark seems to have done his research at the junior-high level; if you're much older than that yourself, Porky's is going to seem pretty dumb.

Jay P Cry about it..it's good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Jack N Simply one of the greatest films of the 80s Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Audience Member Alright, boys, let’s talk Porky’s. This one’s a real beauty from 1981, made right here in Canada, eh? Directed by Bob Clark—same guy who gave us A Christmas Story, so you know he’s got some chops. Now, Porky’s ain’t exactly Oscar material, but it’s got that classic, raunchy, coming-of-age charm, and if you’ve ever been in a rowdy junior hockey locker room, you’ll feel right at home with the crude humour. The story follows a bunch of high schoolers in 1950s Florida who are obsessed with one thing—well, two things: getting laid and getting revenge on the sleazy owner of Porky’s, a shady strip joint. It’s basically a big ol’ prank war with some classic ‘80s shenanigans—think revenge plots, peeping tom antics, and a whole lot of awkward teenage moments. The comedy’s definitely a bit dated, but there are still some legendary scenes—like the infamous shower prank and the principal’s “tallywhacker” speech. You can’t watch this without cracking up at least a few times. And let’s not forget Kim Cattrall as “Lassie”—that howl scene? Unreal. Now, as a Canadian, I gotta tip my bucket to the fact that this was shot in Quebec. You gotta love a movie that feels American but has Canadian roots—kinda like when half the NHL is from the Prairies, but we let the Americans take credit for hockey. The downside? Well, some of the jokes don’t exactly age well, and if you’re looking for depth, you won’t find much beyond the occasional “boys will be boys” message. But if you’re cracking a few cold ones with the boys after a game and want a dumb, fun flick, Porky’s is a solid choice. 3.5 outta 5—good for a laugh, but don’t expect Slap Shot levels of greatness. --- Deer Hair Pads Reviews. Follow on Facebook & Instagram Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legal, o roteiro é bacana, parace que o elenco veste a mesma a roupa, algumas cenas são boas, uma cena bacana é quando uns 7 caras vão na cara de abandonada comer um mulher de 40 anos, que uns dois caras enganaram eles chamando o falso marido dela e atacando os caras, e fazendo os 7 caras fugindo de medo, depois os 7 caras foram para um bar chamado porky's, eles falaram com o dono que é também é chamado porky's, e quiseram pagar uma quantia por umas mulheres, porky's aceitou mas enganou eles mandando eles irem para uma sala escura e jogaram eles na água puxando uma alavanca, depois a polícia apareceu e ainda ajudou porky's a se livrarem dos 7 caras, depois pee wee e dois amigos foram para uma passagem secreta fez o chuveiro feminino por três buracos e conseguiram ver as garotas completamente peladas e depois foram descobertos quando pee wee berrou para a gorda sair da frente, aí um deles botou o pau no buraco e a inspetora da escola pegou no pau do amigo do pee wee e segurou e ele ficou desesperado com isso, depois eles foram para a secretaria, e eles são liberados, depois eles queriam fazer a vingança contra o porky's, então foram até outra cidade para isso acontecer, porky's tinha um bar perto do rio amarrados com cordas para não ser levado pela correnteza, os 7 caras amarraram as cordas e algumas madeiras no carro deles e depois furaram os pneus dos carros da polícia, e depois acelerraram o carro e com isso destruiu o bar gigantesco de porky's, e depois porky's e seu irmão policial foram atrás deles, mas não conseguiram por que não era mais a cidade deles, então porky's e o seu irmão policial parou na frente de um outro policial da outra cidade e dizia que essa não é a cidade deles e depois eles foram para um outro município e para acabar o filme pee wee tirou a sua virgindade, esse filme é Legal, e eu recomendo. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Brent A 10% rating ... Incredibly dumb film. Was not funny. Plot was awful. Just all around bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Nol P Time to review the movie series of Porky's. The original Porky's, (1981), was a very fun film and is full of pranks and crazy hijinks. Runs well start to finish and to many it is a hidden gem, (when they finally watched). 8 of 10. A Canadian production too. Porky's 2 is just weak. Not sure why it was so bad as there were good ideas but it just did not deliver at all compared to the original. 3.5 of 10. With the 3rd installment of Porky's, (Porky's Revenge, 1985), I am glad they did not let the 2nd chapter discourage from making a 3rd movie as this one is almost as good as the original. And no matter what the so called tight critics said giving this an overall of about 35% only. The pranks were hilarious and the story flowed start to finish. 7 of 10. You can just bi-pass the 2nd movie and watch parts 1 and 3 and laugh away! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
