Plot Summary:
Set in 1954 Florida, the film follows a group of Angel Beach
High School friends who spend their time engaging in elaborate
pranks and locker room antics while obsessively trying to lose
their virginity. After they are swindled and humiliated by the
owner of a sleazy Everglades strip club called Porky's, the
teenagers shift their focus toward an ambitious mission of
retribution. The boys must also navigate various coming-of-age
challenges, including run-ins with a stern gym teacher and
deeper social issues like the era's prevalent bigotry.

Dad's Preview:
"Guilty pleasure" is a term I often hear associated with
this teenage sex comedy, and well, it does put the R in Raunchy,
gaining a Severe ranking on IMDB under Sex &
Nudity. You won't want to accidentally play this film on
family movie night, thinking it features an stuttering
cartoon pig. THAT SAID, this flick is incredibly funny,
as it bounces around several comedic subplots including a
teenage pipsqueak's obsession with losing his virginity,
a seedy strip bar in the swamp, an embarrassing school shower incident involving
voyeurism via a hole in the wall, and a male coach's
desire to learn more about a female coach's interesting
nickname. It's all beyond crude, but so was every
high school conversation between me and my best buddies
in 1981.
However, it is committed to film... and I am a serious
film previewer - allow me perform my craft...
Incidentally, this film paved the way for the likes of
Risky Business (1983),
Revenge of the Nerds (1984), and later
American Pie (1999). Thank you, Porky's! |
