I'll keep this seemingly inevitable comparison brief. Whereas Babe is a sweet, enchanting gem of a family film, Gordy for me isn't in the same league, in fact it is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Other than the bright and breezy country and western soundtrack and the fact that Gordy is somewhat adorable, this is rather charmless family fare. Gordy does look rather cheap, not in the scenery, the scenery is nice, but the flat and rushed camera-work does not do it justice. The story is very predictable and never seems to find a direction, the direction is sloppy, the script is tedious and unfunny and a vast majority of the jokes are corny. Add some horrible acting and every barnyard cliché in the book, do we really need the evil boyfriend idea again, and we have a film of low-quality and very little charm, also even for quite a short movie it drags badly. Kids might like it, but to be honest adults might find it an insult to their intelligence. 2/10 Bethany Cox

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.

I sat down with my just turned 5 year old for "Family Movie Night" and we let him pick this off the free video on demand.Sure the kid loved it, but words cannot describe how awful this movie is. I would rather saw off my head with an electric toothbrush (modified of course) than to watch this movie again.There are so many parts of this movie that are just completely unbelievable, it makes you want to cry (Ignore the fact that the pig talks and humans can understand him....that's the most believable thing in the movie).During one scene, the kid and pig are walking down the road lost when all of the sudden the only people in the entire country that know them pass by them in their RV. Granted this is just some country road and the people in the RV are traveling all over the country singing.Another scene has the bad guys throwing a pig off a couple hundred feet bridge where Cousin Idiot is able to catch the pig in his arms down below without the other people noticing.The wealthy businessman dies and leaves his company to his young grandson. However, because his grandson is too young to run the company, he gives complete control to Gordy. Gordy is a f'ing pig mind you. The pig is then shown interviewed numerous times on stock market / business type shows where the host asks him a question and the pig snorts a few times in response.The entire plot seems like it was generated by some drawing board created by a 3 year old. I cannot imagine how this actually got funding to produce or how badly an actor needed a job to look at this script and say "Hell yes, sign me up."

I can't belive that this failed at the box office! and only about 120 imdb useres voted on it, and a 3.3! come on, its a good movie. The plot was good, the acting, and the whole movie basicly. Best Pig movie I have seen. Its as good as Babe. I just know that this would be in the bottom 100 if more people would vote on it, Poor Gordy. I Grew up in this film It is a good movie. I give it a 7
