Love it or loathe it (and there are a goodly number of people on either side), Porky's was one of the most successful comedies of its day, spawning two direct sequels and inspiring an incalculable number of lowbrow teen comedies, most recently including American Pie (1999).

Critic Reviews

  • Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com

    Bob Clark's teen sex comedy carries a stamp of social satrie that is timeless.

  • Sandie Angulo Chen, Common Sense Media

    Boobs-'n'-booze comedy is a hard 'R' for a reason.

    helped solidify the teen sex comedy and spawned dozens of imitations

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    Take a teenage boy's obsession with sex and create a movie around it - this is your result. The Porky's storyline is just mere filler around the high-school antics of this horny gang.

  • Conner R


    Much like Christmas Story, this is just incredibly corny and very much the American Pie of its time. The story seemed to be set around perverted scenarios rather than an actual plot or characters. I think it's basically the worst message you can send out to incoming high school… More

    The all time king of teen sex comedies. It's a raunchy version of American Graffiti.
