Plot: Reviled by critics and embraced by the public during its initial run (1981), Porky's is interesting to watch after all these years. What holds up about this horny coming-of-age tale is remarkab...( read more read more... )le. Writer/director Bob Clark has little more than sex and practical joking on his mind, and his high school seniors from Angel Beach, Florida, rapidly move from one to the other. Clark displays a sense of timing and, perhaps rarer still, a sense of male friendship--its brutalities and its bonds--that feels right, not artificial. Surprisingly, the showcase practical jokes are still funny: the Everglades encounter with Cherry Forever, the hole in the girls' shower, and Beulah Balbricker, the humongous gym teacher. The comedic set-ups and payoffs surprisingly still work. Clark's insistence on a subplot about anti-Semitism, however, still sticks out as A MESSAGE. Kim Cattrall really got her start here (although almost no one else did) as Ms. Honeywell, a.k.a. "Lassie." Clark later distanced himself from the irritating Porky's sequels and went on to make the wonderful Christmas Story, the tale of a little boy who wants a BB gun for Christmas. --Keith Simanton

    I saw this on friends profile and couldn't believe I didn't have it on my favorites list. I think I saw this for the first time maybe when I was 10 or 11...with my Mom. I remember at the mens laundry scene where the Sex in the City chick is getting it with a jock strap stuffed in her mouth to try and stop the howling. I asked my Mom, "Why is she howling? What's with the jock? Doesn't that smell? Can't he shut her up?" She wished she was the guy hiding behind the mat in the gym she was laughing so hard...anyway, I's all growed up now and can still laugh my butt off through this movie. Scene in the principals office is priceless.
    "Have you seen this prick? Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker.

    A true comedy classic of it's time. Male nudity didn't hurt for me as a young teenage boy with secrets.....hehehe.

    a very funny classic comedy. Although I believe it has an overrated and cliche following, it's definetly worth your time because it's very funny and extremely relateable to men who like naked chicks.
