Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

liamforeman Um, who wrote this screenplay? Can't be the original writer for the first Porky's.I loved the first Porky's. It captured the fun of a teen sex comedy. This one? No sex, and no comedy. It was so not fun or funny.To sum this up, this is not even remotely similar to the first one. It was a socially conscious political movie on racism and prejudice. I only made it through it because I was on Facebook and was only half way paying attention. It is unfunny and a real slap in the face. It would be comparable to watching a Friday the 13th sequel, and there are no killings, but it is about teens at camp who protest the death penalty and spend the entire movie being politically active.A horrible horrible waste of time. I'd give this a 0 out of 10 if I could.

MetalGeek Before there was "American Pie," there was "Porky's," the classic '80s sex-comedy created and directed (for two out of three installments, anwyay) by the late, great Bob Clark. "Porky's II: The Next Day" is a laugh-a-minute smut fest that picks up exactly where the original "Porky's" left off. Pee Wee, Tommy, Meat and the Angel Beach gang don't have to deal with old Porky this time around; instead their school's big drama club presentation of the works of Shakespeare is being threatened by a fire-and-brimstone preacher and his flock, who claim The Bard's works are "indecent." To complicate matters further, the production's "Romeo" happens to be played by a Native American, which brings the local KKK into the picture. Will Pee Wee and the gang put up with such interference? Of course they won't, and before you know it the boys (and girl) are busily setting up elaborate series of pranks to get even with the Reverend, the Klan, and a sleazy, double dealing councilman. They even take time to fix the wagon of the dreaded gym teacher from Hell, Miss Balbricker!... all in the name of triumphing over the forces of injustice and intolerance, of course. Yes, folks, believe it or not, this is a sex comedy with a social conscience. You'll still get your share of goofball raunchy bits (don't miss the scene involving "Graveyard Gloria," which also features the best bit of comic zombie action ever filmed) but at the same time, you'll cheer as you watch the irritating Holy Rollers and clueless Klansmen get their comeuppance.I may be in the minority, but I think the "Porky's" series actually got better as it went along. I prefer "II: The Next Day" over the original, and the 3rd film, "Porky's Revenge," is my favorite installment overall. If you're looking for an '80s flashback, or just an immature chuckle, then give this one (or any of the "Porky's" films) a spin and give your inner 14 year old the time of his life. "Wooooo Boogie boogie boogie!"

Coventry This is probably just a very personal interpretation, but I feel as if Bob Clark couldn't have chosen a more painfully apt title for this sequel even if he wanted to. "The Next Day …" To me, that fully sounds like that dreadful hangover syndrome. You partied hard, drank way too much and did a whole lot of things that seemed like a good idea at the time but now are bound to regret … In short, you spent an awesome time but then, inevitably, the next day brings a terrible headache. You feel empty, lazy, uninspired and plain simply you want to be left alone. "Porky's 2" alarmingly lives up to this unpleasant sentiment. The original is a tremendous guilty pleasure, because it genuinely makes you feel as if you are a sordid and derailed partying teenager again! The vulgar pranks are plentiful and impossible not to laugh with, the gratuitous sleaze is too welcome and the continuous politically incorrect ambiance is simply irresistible. The sequel, however, tastes like a sour after-party in your stomach. Gone is all the harmless entertainment; replaced only by embarrassment and redundant that makes you wonder why you even bothered in the first place. I honestly don't know what happened here … All of a sudden the infantile jokes make room for boring morality speeches and the act of juvenile delinquency are being replaced with charity initiatives! In the original, our 50's gang of hormone-overloaded adolescent losers already fought against various types of authority (law enforcers, teachers, night club owners…), but at least they exclusively did so for their own benefit… To see naked chicks and get laid as quickly as possible. Here, they battle against even tougher types of authority (like politicians and the local church community), but for a greater – and utterly implausible – purpose, namely to prevent a high school stage play about the oeuvre of Shakespeare from getting canceled. I'm sorry, what?!? The characters we were introduced to in "Porky's" wouldn't care less about anything school relate, let alone an art class project! Suddenly the biggest schoolyard perverts have become teacher pets, the school bimbo transformed into the sensitive and understanding type and laughing stock Pee-Wee has turned into the archetype of manliness. Only the one sequence in the graveyard, when Pee Wee hires a prostitute to pull a prank on his friends that evidently backfires, vaguely reminds us that we are – in fact – watching an installment in the "Porky's" franchise. The amount of T&A decreased with approximately 400%, there isn't a single ROTF moment and the morality lessons ("don't be a hypocrite") are pitiable. Once more I'm reminded of the classic song by the Dire Straits "Heavy Fuel", with its lyrics "Last time I was sober, I felt bad. Worst hangover I ever had". That's the next day for ya!

cozettt Old actors posing as teenagers, impossible scenarios of youngsters fighting by themselves racism and local town officials, is there any other movie less appropriate for fun? Plain disappointment, avoid it as possible. The plot is zero, they weren't prepared for any success with the first Porky, so they did not gather too many ideas for the second. It should have been a famous comedy, instead it turned out as being a strange cocktail of a propaganda movie (how fun is it to be a young American high-schooler), impossible situations (reverends fighting against Shakespeare plays), tasteless and unconvincing nakedness scenes (abuse of male bare behinds especially). It must have been quite a shock at the time the film came out, now it's completely stupid.
