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.

Writer/director Bob Clark must've made a mint from his box office smash Porky's, so I can't really blame him for capitalising on his success with a guaranteed cash-cow sequel that repeats the same formula of dumb pranks and penis gags, while once again throwing in some racial tension to drive the story. What I do blame him for is making the film such a laugh-free mess, while toning down the raunchiness, one of the few factors that made the first Porky's bearable.No-one in Porky's II gets laid: they're too busy prancing around on stage in a dreadful Shakespearian high-school production, which brings them to blows with a local evangelist Reverend Flavel (Bill Wiley), who deems the show obscene, the KKK, who object to Seminole Indian John Henry (Joseph Runningfox) playing the part of Romeo, and sleazy county commissioner Gebhardt (Edward Winter), who tries to seduce Pee Wee's girlfriend Wendy (Kaki Hunter). Cue lots of desperate gags that involve someone dressed as a George Romero-style zombie, an exotic dancer dubbed Graveyard Gloria (Cisse Cameron), a sword-fight with a mannequin's leg, a snake in a toilet bowl, and fake vomit.3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.

I actually came here to this page after I cracked a joke on the internet about this being the worst sequel of all time! And I was 16 when it came out, didn't even know what a "leftist agenda" was, and I still hated the film. Seriously? A bunch of white teenagers from Florida in 1954 with left-wing political leanings? The original is awesome, awesome. Who doesn't like shower scenes, and spending the rest of your time trying to get laid, and playing practical jokes on your friends? I suppose the cemetery scene was OK, but the rest of the film is a total bore. Fortunately for Mr. Clark (and I didn't know about his untimely passing a few years ago until I read these reviews), he came back pretty strong writing Porky's Revenge.

I've seen this movie lots of times, and it remains one of the most funniest movies ever made in my book!The entire sex-starved gang of Angel Beach High have returned, with a few new faces for "Porky's 2: The Next Day", and they're more ripe than a truckload of bananas in this one.Talk about funny! These bozos are doing everything possible to save their Shakespeare performance in a subplot that's loaded with laughs. In one memorable moment, Principal Carter screams to the domineering Reverend Flavel to "Get The Flock Outta Here!", which almost sounds like something else he said. There's a brief sound of whimpering from the Principal Carter, then a look of shock from the kids, and suddenly a burst of applause for his heroics.Then there's the revenge on Ms. Ballbricker, the mean fat gym teacher from hell. While she's sitting on the toilet singing in a voice so awful, a snake emerges from in the toilet, causing Ballbricker to scream her ugly head off and run for her life while crying for her mommy, too! In my opinion, that one moment in the entire movie caused me to laugh my ass off. Wasn't life easier in school back in the 1950's? I think so.Did I forget that the gang also battles the KKK that turns into a another laugh riot that's sure to cause heart failure.Altogether, this movie is hilarious despite what others say. And there can never be another Bob Clark around to direct such funny, laugh-til-you-cry movies such as "Porky's 2".If you haven't seen this, then you're hurting!
