Gordy

If you're looking for a very well done, deep movie, I would recommend you to look elsewhere.

I became curious about the movie when my family and I were headed to our vacation to Charleston, SC. This was just shortly before it came out in theaters; the pig playing Gordy was visiting North Carolina (Statesville, I believe) where we stayed overnight. I wanted to see him but the travelling schedule didn't allow it.

I was given Gordy on VHS for Christmas '95 and I've only watched it one other time since. The acting isn't anything to write for nor are the effects for the pig's talking. I have to say though, I thought it was neat seeing a pig swim.

Over the years I have watched many family films that can be just as entertaining for an adult as a child. The recent "Chicken Run" is one that comes to mind. "Gordy", however is not one of these films.

Its plot follows sappy, unentertaining, and stereotypical characters who make fun of a child's intelligence with cheesy humour and predictable actions that leaves out any chance for suspense or laughs.

The only thing this movie provoked me to think about was Gimme a break!"

This is one of those obvious el cheapo movies that they make quick when they know a bigger more expensive movie involving something similar is coming a couple months later (Babe) The same thing happened with Antz (a bugs life was made first but was more expensive and was released a couple months after Antz while Antz was cheap and quick)

This movie is cute and funny. Granted it is unrealistic but so what? It is a kids movie that all ages can enjoy.The pig is very cute as are the two kids. It has some very funny scenes with Gordy in costumes. It also has some good old country music. Boxcar Willy, Jim Stafford and Roy Clark and other country stars appear as themselves. It is a feel good movie with a happy ending. If you need profanity, nudity, sex,violence or rude and disrespectful kids in a movie in order to like it then skip Gordy. It has none of that. The only dirt in this movie is actual dirt on the pigs. Gordy is a good movie for those who like clean, lighthearted family entertainment.

I thought the movie was very cute...I actually don't like babe that much, I like Gordy better...the person that commented and said it was a horrible, well that was their own opinion...if you haven't seen it, then go out and rent it and judge for yourself. The movie is about a pig that is trying to find his family and on the way gets famous. I love the "goodnight" song that Luke MacAllister sings to his little girl in the film...on the way Gordy finds a few friends (Jenny Sue and Hanky)if you have kids then i suggest this movie...they'll love it...my little brother wont quit watching it...i think tha movie is cute..but you can decide for yourself...
