High school friends Pee Wee (Dan Monahan), Tommy (Wyatt Knight), Billy (Mark Herrier) and Mickey (Roger Wilson) want to lose their virginity. But when they're kicked out of a strip club after the owner, Porky (Chuck Mitchell), takes their money, they plot revenge. While they try to get back at him, they deal with other teen troubles, including Pee Wee's worries that his "equipment" is shrinking, their sexually opinionated gym teacher (Kim Cattrall) and a spy hole in the girl's locker room.

Critics Consensus

Gleeful in its misogyny and celebratory of bad behavior, Porky's is an intermittently funny farce that will leave audiences feeling in need of a shower.

A sequel to this ghastly comedy is already in production. What a shame.

The jokes are so unremittingly cheap, so purely predictable, that "Porky's" is less shocking or amusing than boring.

Because of the high quality of Decree and other Clark films, most of us expected Porky's to be a lot better than it is.

5/10

Nudity, sex jokes, rivalry, and all sorts of off-color humor find their way into the film, but camaraderie, friendship, and teamwork are also relevant concepts.

It’s a limp film (pun fully intended).

Soul-crushing, the lack of excitement actively drains your energy and enthusiasm.

Complete shit show that was great when I was 11 Fond memories. Now when I watch it I just laugh at how easy I was amused back then

This movie is kinda just stupid. The plot genuinely sucks and it's jokes almost ALL fall flat. There are a couple moments stupid enough to laugh at.

I usually like campy 80s movies, but I actually didn't like this one. I watched it with really bad quality which is probably why. But as for the story, it wasn't really about anything. They should have just stuck to one topic-- The takedown of Porky's, or the peep holes. Instead, it was a weird combination of everything which made it feel uneven and unimportant. Believe me, I'm all for raunchy teen sex comedies, but this one just didn't sit right. Still very glad I saw it though. I know it's pretty iconic.

One of the best high school raunch comedies. So many gags abound. Setting is Angel Beach high school in Florida. A group of high school boys take on a strip club , bar owner , across county lines , by the name of Porky. This movie contains a whole lot of sexual topics and pranks , but, also deals with bigotry in 1950s.
