Editorial Reviews

The inevitable sequel to the surprise hit movie marks a noticeable change in tone, as the horny kids from the first film fight religious fanatics in order to put on a stage show. Though the gang is still as mischievous as they were the night before, most of the raunchy humor from the first film has been dropped. In its place are some surprisingly effective passages dealing bluntly with sex, love, anti-Semitism, and religious tolerance in the repressed South of the 1950s. It's this turn that makes the sequel a surprise and something distinctive from its predecessor. --Robert Lane

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than PORKY's, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

I'm one of the handful of people on earth who prefer this to the original. I think the comic timing is sharper and it is obvious they had more of a budget. Also, it tries to be about things. While the KKK and dirty politicians are obvious targets, I never get tired of seeing such characters get theirs. The scene in the restaurant with Wendy and Gebfart is hysterical. Perhaps Hollywood's most notable effort to bring Shakespeare to young movie audiences prior to 1996's "Romeo & Juliet."

4.0 out of 5 stars Porky's II: The Next Day, September 6, 2004

By	Porky's Fan (PA) - See all my reviews

I saw this movie years ago on HBO & just recently bought it on VHS. Porky's II is actually good, in spite of itself. Pee-Wee & the gang are back for more adventures & more jokes. Although I missed Porky himself, I enjoy watching this movie. I especially enjoy the payback paid to the crooked Reverend Flavel, Commissioner Gebfart, the City Council & the KKK. Porky's II does have a few slow moments, but nevertheless it is enjoyable to watch to get a few laughs.

2.0 out of 5 stars nowhere near as good as the original, April 22, 2003

By	Gitters (Allendale, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Porky's 2 starts off the day after the first one ends.At first it's funny then it goes down hill from there.If you must see this movie I'd rent it,instead of buying it.The only reason I own it is because I've got the DVD where it has Porkys/Porky's 2.
