This is clearly a fun-filled sequel to the original classic film because once again, the eccentric cast of characters really show great chemistry amongst each others and only a few characters have truly transitioned. Pee Wee is still Pee Wee but he is no longer the virgin everyone knew from the film, but still gets himself in hot water. Tommy and Billy are still the pranksters of the group, pulling off one of the funniest pranks against their arch-nemesis Miss Balbricker. Let's just say this involves a stall and a snake. Wendy truly has risen from bit player to more one of the gang here with her impeccable stunt in the third act of the film. Tim is no longer the racist good guy he was in the beginning and is best friends with Brian, who also has gotten his rank upped to major player.
This isn't a bad movie and indeed there are some great cheeky moments and scenes but the overall feeling of the movie is one of desperation, thankfully the follow up to this was great but to follow a classic like Porky's i expected much better. The usual misfits from angel beach return led by the great peewee,and they are involved in a school play but when they cast an native American Indian then the local church and KKK group get involved in protest. I suppose that's the problem here as the film takes a stance against racism which is all well and good but it isn't great in the company of the filthy jokes and just seems to be there to gain acclaim and from what i read this wasn't a success upon release so hey ho to that idea. "Porky's II" does have a few slow moments, but nevertheless it is enjoyable to watch to get a few laughs.
Overall rating: 5 out of 10.
