Pass it on

Porky's

13Leave it.

A huge gross built on humiliation, and it does not belong near children.

The review

Do not put this on where a child can hear it. The plot is high-school boys in Florida trying to get into a strip club and humiliate people. I am not going to walk through the gags. A very large gross does not make them fit for a house. There is a subplot about a bully and prejudice, which is the part the film would like you to call serious.

That subplot is not what drives the picture. The main joke is the humiliation. Grown people can still pass on it. A comedy that keeps aiming you at the next one is a bad night, and the side story does not wash the rest.

Journal

Keep Porky's in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 13. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

24 instead of 13

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is still a comedy film, and it scores 24 instead of 13. What you gain is truth: It tells on adult hypocrisy, then joins it.

The eight

1
Industry
High school is the setting, and nobody has a job that matters.
1
Household
This is not a picture for a house that has children in it.
1
Piety
Humiliating people is the joke, and nobody is made to stop.
2
Courage
A bully subplot pretends at nerve the main plot never has.
1
Republic
Neighbors are targets, not people owed any decency.
1
Temperance
The main joke trains you toward the next humiliation.
2
Truth
The film calls a side plot serious while the joke stays in charge.
1
Stewardship
A huge gross, and nothing left that a family ought to repeat.

The review

Art is not a character. He is a permission slip for a lens that will not cut away. There is no household, no joke with a point, no dare that teaches a limit. The only skill on display is a refusal to be ashamed. That is not an art a house should pay for.

People will say it is only horror and you can look away. The film's whole method is that you do not look away. Decline it once, out loud, so a younger person hears that a strong stomach is not a virtue.
