storey97 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."

amydriggers Miss Kitty's, a bar/dance hall that was featured in the movie, "GORDY" was located on Franklin Road in Marietta, GA. It was once a country dance hall known to many locals which went out of business shortly after The Crystal Chandelier opened in Kennesaw, GA...near Marietta. It is now known as "Cowboys" which features many current country artists for their weekend concerts. This was one of the few country bars (believe it or not) that existed in Metro Atlanta. What you see in the movie was what you got! It did look bigger in the movie that I remembered. However, the last time I visited Miss Kitty's was in 1991...21st birthday. Miss Kitty's...RIP. Good fun.

CalvinValjean Gordy is a truly terrible and pathetic movie, and what's unique is that it was released right before Babe. You'd think that would've caused people to confuse the two; yet Babe went on to be a huge hit and get a Best Picture nomination. That really does speak volumes about the quality of Babe.Gordy is just terrible on every level, with a story that is badly put together. Gordy's a talking pig looking for his family. He first gets discovered by a little country girl who sings about "checking on your butt" (yes, it's true).One day they're at some event for a rich family. The rich little boy can't swim, but instead of being scared of the water, as would be normal, he goes right up to the pool and sits on the diving board! And then, as he's getting up, he's actually surprised that he falls in. Turns out the country girl can't swim either. But wouldn't ya know it, the pig can! So Gordy rescues the little rich boy, and now becomes the world's richest pig.Gordy explains that all animals can really talk, but only simple folks can understand them. This includes innocent children and idiot adults, which becomes an ongoing gag (Cousin Jake is a moron and when the pig talks to him, he can understand! Ho ho!) Eventually Bill Clinton calls (the voice of a bad Clinton imitator) and he can understand Gordy also. Ho ho! (I wonder if they'd have done this same gag if Bush had been president at the time, or would it have been too obvious a joke?).Although this is a silly premise, at least it's something to go on, but the movie doesn't know how to create a plot from it, so it goes in various directions. We have clichés like the evil boyfriend who wants to marry the rich boy's mother for her money. We have a plot line where Gordy and the rich boy run away, shaking off the evil boyfriend's goons, but it only lasts 20 minutes. Even this can't be stretched out to 90 minutes, so we have pointless scenes that're dragged out for no real reason, such as the entire "butt-check" song, and a depressing sequence where Gordy's family is put in some cruel cock-fight competition.Gordy's conversations with the rich boy feel very stilted. Of course this is because the kid, not a great actor to begin with, was just talking to a pig on set all day, and the voice for Gordy added later does not seem to actually be talking off of him. The fact that the pig doesn't look like its actually talking does not help.So Gordy is...bad. Compared to Babe, which was delightful and had a serious story, Gordy is excrement which fails as entertainment.

bmhustedonline I gave this movie 3 stars because my (very young) kids seemed to enjoy it, but I really cannot understand how anyone could compare this favorably to Babe the Pig. Babe is a sensitive, entertaining, and even intelligent movie. Gordy is nothing like it. Gordy is cheap, boring, and insulting to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. The acting is poor, the writing predictable, and the hairstyles drove me crazy. It really looked like it was made in 1985 instead of 1995. In contrast, Babe has such a timeless quality about it. My kids don't really like Babe, I assume, because it goes at a slower pace and is not so flashy, but I'm sure that once they are older, they will enjoy it much more than Gordy. Gordy just has no substance. If you are looking for something that you can enjoy with your children, this is not it!
