A Guilty Pleasure
Absolutely hilarious
If you haven't seen it, here's my take on it. People who are stuffy, proper, sophisticated, and politically correct in a social sense are not going to care for this movie. On the other hand, if you are laid back, easy going, don't have to have an uplifting and moral story line, and appreciate comedy (often sexy and somewhat raw), you are going to love this movie. The producer and director very obviously made this movie for the simple purpose of providing the audience with a lot of very funny comedy. And they succeeded immensely (if you are laid back, easy going, etc.) The scenes range from funny to hilarious.
Buy or rent the video. I've seen this on network TV and it is very "sanitized".
Very fun comedy
It's not the funniest movie you'll ever see, except for a few truly hysterical scenes, but you have to love the way it captures the fun irresponsibility of high school. I think a lot of people can relate to this no matter what generation they're from, making it a definite classic. My advice is to steer clear of the upcoming remake, which will undoubtedly be raunchier and ruder, but probably have ten times less heart.
made me laugh
college friends had fond memories to share of sneaking in to see
it. The subject would come up over a game of quarters or
something.
Porky's isn't brilliant and maybe deserves a lot of socio-critical
dissection, but I just thought it was funny at the time. I don't know it
deserves film-critic attack - wasn't it low-budget and lucky to get
some mainstream distribution?
Anyway, my memories of Porky's made American Pie a lot more
funnier, too. The two would be a good movie night double feature.
Go ahead and laugh! It's okay!
It is, however, quite funny. Just sit back and watch the group of pals playing tricks on each other and sticking together when things turn serious. Watching it today brings back memories of some of the stupid things me and my high school friends did back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We all tried to get into strip clubs before we were 18. We didn't see any trouble with breaking the law as long as nobody got hurt. We all were out to have a much sex as we possibly could. That's what a good portion of growing up for us guys is all about!
That said, the events depicted in this film, such as destroying a night club and sticking our manhood through a hole in the girls' shower didn't happen. That's why films are made. They take ideas in our heads and try to show what would happen if they actually played out.
Only the coldest and stiffest of men couldn't find anything to laugh about with this movie. It is in no way meant to be taken seriously. It has been criticized to the point of no return, though. Why? Are some people unable to laugh at juvenile pranks, or were they on the receiving end of them when they were in high school?
If you had fun growing up, you will probably like this film. If you look back at your younger years with regret, then you most likely won't enjoy it.

And just gotta add 4/4/2007...... RIP Bob Clark. We'll miss you, man!
The Hound will see you on the other side some day!
Le saviez-vous
- GaffesAccording to the guys, Cherry Forever and John Conklin were married. There is no way one could believe an interracial couple would even be living together, much less married, in Florida in the 1950s, even though South Florida is less "Southern" than the rest of the state. Furthermore, cohabitation between an interracial couple (married or not) was illegal in Florida until 1964.
They weren't really married, it was part of the prank and the boys would be in no place to question the living arrangements of a prostitute, especially when they are being chased by a large angry black man.

Balbricker: [1:07:15] Now, Mr. Carter. I know this is completely unorthodox. But I think this is the only way to find that boy. Now that penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere. In spite of the juvenile snickers of some, this is a serious matter. That seducer and despoiler must be stopped; he's extremely dangerous. And, Mr. Carter, I'm certain that everyone in this room knows who that is. He's a contemptible little pervert who...
Mr. Carter: [abrupt] Miss Balbricker!
Balbricker: Well, I'm sorry, but I've got him now, and I'm not going to let him slip through my fingers again
[a murmur of mirth rises from several occupants]
Balbricker: . Now, all I'm asking is that you give me five boys for a few minutes. The coaches can be present - Tommy Turner and any four boys you see fit to choose and we... and we... can put a stop to this menace. And it is a menace.
[pause]
Balbricker: [irritably] Well, what are you gonna do about it?
[Carter hums and hars]
Mr. Carter: Err
[finally speaks]
Mr. Carter: Five young boys in the nude, a police line-up so that you can identify his tallywhacker.
[sighs]
Mr. Carter: Please, please can we call it a "tallywhacker"? Penis is so ppp... penis is so personal.
Balbricker: We can put hoods over their heads to avoid embarrassment
[Carter repeats "Hoods" in disbelief]
Balbricker: . Now listen: we have got to do it, as distasteful as it is. I know it's him. That
[pause]
Balbricker: tallywhacker had a mole on it. And that mole is the key to it.
Mr. Carter: Miss Balbricker, do you realize the difficulty of your request? Now, I would be very happy to, uh, to apprehend the young man myself. But can you imagine what the board of education would say if you were granted a line-up in order to examine their private pa... aaa... their... yaha...
[composes himself]
Mr. Carter: their private parts
[now firmly]
Mr. Carter: for an incriminating mole?
Balbricker: But Mr. Carter.
Coach Brakett: [stops stifling his giggling and speaks up] Mr. Carter, I think I have a way out of this. We, uh, call the police, and we have 'em send over one of their sketch artists.
[Carter rolls his eyes]
Coach Brakett: And Miss Balbricker can give a description. We can put up "Wanted" posters all over school... "Have you seen this prick?
[Carter struggles not to grin]
Coach Brakett: Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker. Do not attempt to apprehend this prick, as it is armed and dangerous.
[falls off his chair]
Coach Brakett: It was last seen hanging out in the girls' locker room at Angel Beach High School."
[everyone including Carter falls about laughing in hysterics as an enraged Balbricker storms out in a fury]
- Générique farfeluAs the end credits roll, an additional scene is shown featuring Pee-wee and Wendy on a school bus. Also, Balbricker returns one final time in her never-ending quest to punish the boys.
- Autres versionsIn a tv version, the boys are wearing underwear as they run from Cherry Forever's house. In the theatrical version they cover themselves with their hands.
