Porky's II: The Next Day (1983)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Before "American Pie" there was "Porky's". Truly "80's sex comedy at his best. "Porky's" spawned 2 sequels nowhere as funny as the original and rather forgettable. After many years watching the trilogy again it's hard to believe that "The Next Day" does not only features the same cast, but the same director as well. It's not just a disappointing sequel, it's one of the worst sequels ever made. 24 hours after "Porky's" the characters make no sense at all and are totally unbelievable. The same sex craved, funny bunch from Part I are now totally into a serious Shakespeare's school play and butt heads with the local KKK because they have an Indian kid in the cast.. really ? How is this in any way funny or believable or even faithful to the original ? For a sex-comedy there's isn't any sex or fun at all. The fast-forward button is your only way out. No wonder this one failed terribly at the box-office, "Porky's Revenge" was at least better but also a flawed sequel, on the upside Part III actually had the villain Porky back which was completely absent here..

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.

porky's was a smash hit so obviously there was going to be a sequel, and unsurprisingly it wasn't as funny as the first, did you expect it to be, but never the less its great to be with the gang again, and there are still some laugh out loud moments here, thanks mostly to the ever great 'pee wee'. the most surprising thing about this movie for me was that the whole cast from the first one came back for this, and there is its ,main problem, there are simply to many characters simply standing around doing nothing, sure its great there there, but at least give them some good jokes to do. so never the less while its no classic like the original was, its a decent sequel, and fans of the first should check it out as there bound to have a giggle

OK, OK...we have people who could be studying for their (second) doctorate who pretend to be 16yo high-schoolers...OK. This movie basically tries to re-create the atmosphere of the first, but without the Porky/brothel element...a lost battle to start with. Honestly, the only scene that had me laughing like mad was the "fontana di voglio " dinner...overdone, yes, but gets the point across, and the final speech of the reverend with KKK men parading naked coming distant second. Plot was paper-thin in the first movie as well, but I wrote that its great plus was that "This movie still oozes some kind of (weird) charm because -let's face it- it depicts highschool years like we wanted ours to be...fun...sleaze...pranks...some minor violence for thrills, but nobody dies, gets permanently hurt or sent to jail for life.". No longer with this sequel. We get the guys busy with some theater play and a bigot reverend (in cahoots with the KKK & duplicitous politicians ) trying to stop its rehearsal because of alleged "obscenities". The whole movie is a lefty political manifesto of Greenwich village flavour, rather than a mild sexy comedy with characters such as "meat" or "pee-wee". That REAL LIFE white teenagers IN THE EARLY 1950s Florida would have behaved like lefty hippies is a far-fetched assumption; after all, the first movie saw them pulling evil pranks on one another without remorse. I wouldn't have liked my highschool years to be spent campaigning like a loon. Therefore, why would THEY care? A silly theater rehearsal only a few of them seem comfortable with to begin with, anyways? How many guys are in the KKK? Twelve? Is THAT credible?
