homecoming8 Before "American Pie" there was "Porky's". Truly "80's sex comedy at his best. "Porky's" spawned 2 sequels nowhere as funny as the original and rather forgettable. After many years watching the trilogy again it's hard to believe that "The Next Day" does not only features the same cast, but the same director as well. It's not just a disappointing sequel, it's one of the worst sequels ever made. 24 hours after "Porky's" the characters make no sense at all and are totally unbelievable. The same sex craved, funny bunch from Part I are now totally into a serious Shakespeare's school play and butt heads with the local KKK because they have an Indian kid in the cast.. really ? How is this in any way funny or believable or even faithful to the original ? For a sex-comedy there's isn't any sex or fun at all. The fast-forward button is your only way out. No wonder this one failed terribly at the box-office, "Porky's Revenge" was at least better but also a flawed sequel, on the upside Part III actually had the villain Porky back which was completely absent here..

SnoopyStyle It's the next day. Pee Wee is now overly confident having had sex with Wendy vowing to get a girl for the boys to gangbang. He gets librarian-by-day Graveyard Gloria for them. The gang is joining the school drama club's production of An Evening With Shakespeare. Miss Balbricker sees Shakespeare as obscene and tries to stop it with Reverend Bubba Flavel's help. Commissioner Gebhardt reneges on his promise to the kids. The local Ku Klux Klan joins the opposition due to a Seminole Indian student playing Romeo opposite Wendy playing Juliet.There are a couple of missing characters from the original. It's a problem because this is THE NEXT DAY. Elevating Wendy is a good move. The Reverend and the KKK are way too broad to be compelling and too serious to be funny, the KKK more than the Reverend actually. The Indian character is ill-fitting to a broad sex-romp comedy. The graveyard scene is pretty funny especially with the guys holding back the laughter. I just find the broad opposition to the play unfunny. Other than the graveyard, I didn't find this movie as funny as the original.

fedor8 This isn't so much a sex-romp as it is a fanciful fantasy along the lines of "Alice in Wonderland" or "Peter Pan". To say this dumb movie was based on shaky foundations would be a major understatement.Premise 1: a bunch of sex-starved, braindead teens (played by adults) actually give three craps about a school production of a Shakespeare play. These 30 year-old teens invest all of their energies into saving it. Because this premise rings just as true as L. Ron Hubbard's theories about ancient aliens, it is impossible to follow the flimsy "plot" of P2 with any amount of interest. The writer of this turkey actually thought that the comedy genre allows you to break all laws of logic and common sense. Far from it: comedy only works when it is rooted in some basic, obvious truths; cut it off from reality and the gags suffer. Even so-called absurdist comedy (ZAZ films, for example) have to have some connection to the real world, otherwise they don't work i.e. can't be funny. "Meat" joins the play, as a transvestite no less, and this isn't funny for a whole number of reasons, the main one being that it is never explained why he'd agree to do something like that. At first he is adamant he won't do it, but then he inexplicably does – which isn't how comedy works. He simply shows up in drag, and we the tortured viewers are supposed to fall about in earthquakes of laughter. Well, some tards might.Premise 2: a Christian activist group actually tries to prevent the staging of a Shakespeare play on the basis that it is lewd. In the 50s. Whether this was possible even in much more puritanical 19th century America is highly questionable. The last straw that disintegrates this weak premise into invisible molecules is the group's leader, who is played by an Elmer Fudd impersonator. This means that P2 is stuck with a major problem: its appeal is essentially to 5 year-olds, but the persistent sex themes are more suitable for (younger) teens (who don't laugh at Elmer Fudd nearly as much as they used to). One of the many reasons why this comedy is such a flop. Or am I underestimating the number of teens with an IQ lower than 60? Premise 3: viewers will laugh at jokes that are essentially embarrassing to watch and listen to. A major miscalculation, as it turns out. 90% of these bargain-basement gags are awful, the other 10% merely pathetic. All the actors playing bad guys – plus "Pee-Wee" - overact their butts off, rendering the anyway very low comedic potential of this piece of garbage useless. P2 falls squarely into the bottom of the cinematic pit, into the "Police Academy 5" movie category. It's as low-brow as it gets, but without any of the (limited) appeal that low-brow comedy occasionally offers.Not to mention the renewed desperate attempts at politically-correct "social commentary". In the first movie, Jews were the focus, i.e. one Jewish character. This time it's American Indians. I suppose that could only mean one thing: "Porky's 3" (which I haven't yet seen) must be championing blacks' rights. Right? Which brings me to why there was no "Porky's 4": perhaps they ran out of minorities? Latinos and Koreans weren't nearly as interesting to the American Left during the 80s as the three above-mentioned groups/races. Or perhaps P4 never saw the light of day because the first 3 sucked so much? Something for trash-comedy historians to sink their teeth into.For MST3K fans, check out the actress playing the prostitute. It's none other than the scantily-dressed daft bimbo from the mega-classic "Space Mutiny". Her topless scenes are the only highlight in this 80s garbage.

nostradumbass03 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.
