Just another "Day"....
If you liked the original (which I did) and expect the same level of "sophistication" here, don't. This is not the sequel you've been waiting for.
"Porky's II: The Next Day" offers up some laughs but the rest is filled in with sub-plots about the KKK, political campaigning, American Indians and right-wing religion. THIS in a movie with a character named Pee-Wee?
Maybe Bob Clark felt he needed to do some social atonement for the non-PC stuff he committed in the original. But just because it's PC doesn't mean it's funny.
No Porky, no locker room humor, no Miss Honeywell, no shower scenes... but at least Miss Balbricker (Parsons) gets her comeuppance thanks to a snake in a most unexpected place.
And as far as verbal intelligence goes, its highlight comes when the principal (Christmas) tell Reverend Flavel (Wiley) what to do with his flock. And if that isn't the level of sophistication you were hoping for, consider yourself warned.
Four stars. Boogedy, boogedy, boogedy!

"Woooo Boogie Boogie Boogie!"
Before there was "American Pie," there was "Porky's," the classic '80s sex-comedy created and directed (for two out of three installments, anwyay) by the late, great Bob Clark.
"Porky's II: The Next Day" is a laugh-a-minute smut fest that picks up exactly where the original "Porky's" left off. Pee Wee, Tommy, Meat and the Angel Beach gang don't have to deal with old Porky this time around; instead their school's big drama club presentation of the works of Shakespeare is being threatened by a fire-and-brimstone preacher and his flock, who claim The Bard's works are "indecent." To complicate matters further, the production's "Romeo" happens to be played by a Native American, which brings the local KKK into the picture. Will Pee Wee and the gang put up with such interference? Of course they won't, and before you know it the boys (and girl) are busily setting up elaborate series of pranks to get even with the Reverend, the Klan, and a sleazy, double dealing councilman. They even take time to fix the wagon of the dreaded gym teacher from Hell, Miss Balbricker!... all in the name of triumphing over the forces of injustice and intolerance, of course.
Yes, folks, believe it or not, this is a sex comedy with a social conscience. You'll still get your share of goofball raunchy bits (don't miss the scene involving "Graveyard Gloria," which also features the best bit of comic zombie action ever filmed) but at the same time, you'll cheer as you watch the irritating Holy Rollers and clueless Klansmen get their comeuppance.
I may be in the minority, but I think the "Porky's" series actually got better as it went along. I prefer "II: The Next Day" over the original, and the 3rd film, "Porky's Revenge," is my favorite installment overall. If you're looking for an '80s flashback, or just an immature chuckle, then give this one (or any of the "Porky's" films) a spin and give your inner 14 year old the time of his life. "Wooooo Boogie boogie boogie!"

Not in the same league as its predecessor, sadly.
Writer / director Bob Clark just couldn't come up with an engaging enough sequel to his 1982 sex comedy classic. Since it is "another day", our gang starts out on a predictable enough note, as Pee Wee is badgered about losing his virginity, and finding companionship for his friends. Gone is the ultra-raunchy, T & A of the first "Porky's", as Clark seems determined here to go the ultra-politically correct route. The gang finds that, of many groups spewing their nonsense, the KKK are ripe for some retribution. They also incur the wrath of a Bible thumping religious leader (Bill Wiley), who comes down hard on their high school Shakespeare production, denouncing it as trash especially since a Seminole youth (Joseph Runningfox) has been cast in the lead.
The cast continues to be watchable, but this is is pretty disappointing given the nature of the original. It comes off as if Clark is trying to apologize for the R-rated shenanigans, when he had nothing to apologize for. Unfortunately, most of the material is uninspired. "Porky's II: The Next Day" is certainly good for some mild laughs, and smiles (Coach Balbricker (Nancy Parsons) gets her comeuppance thanks to a slithering accomplice). Dan Monahan is still fun as the often put-upon Pee Wee, but much of the movie really belongs to the enchanting Kaki Hunter as Wendy. She is able to introduce an element of humanity into the proceedings.
People who really love the original "Porky's" will find this to be a much too mild rehash.

Porky's II: The Next Day (Bob Clark, 1983) **
As often happens, this sequel to PORKY'S (1982) is inferior to the original - but, then, neither is it as bad as Leonard Maltin claims in his esteemed Film Guide!
It does cheat by forsaking the titular establishment entirely, though the formula is pretty much the same as before - except that here some of the characters from the original disappear and are replaced by new ones, while the girl who was involved with the protagonist in the first film gets a bigger part this time around. Again, the film pits a certain minority - in this case, American Indians - against a bigoted community.
While the film's major asset has to be the over-the-top characterization of the hypocritical Reverend, there are almost as many belly laughs here as in the original. Scenes that particularly stand out are the 'Shakespeare v. Bible' quoting duel (even if it's kind of silly and out-of-character to have the boys involved in putting on a show of the Bard's work in the first place) and the individual come-uppance of the gang's various antagonists - the KKK (in the school gymnasium), the duplicitous board member (humiliated in a restaurant prior to re-election) and the aforementioned evangelist and his flock (at their own rally).
P.S. Interestingly, co-writer Alan Ormsby had previously collaborated with Clark on his first two horror outings - CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1972; which I've never watched) and DEATHDREAM (1972)!

Aftermath
When a movie is succesful, there will be sequels. It's almost astonishing there were only two sequels to the success of the original Porkys. But then again as they say, you can't capture lightning in a bottle. Or more accurate "erection" in a bottle. Now if you are offended by this, you probably should not watch this movie (although why you would come here after not having seen the mayhem of the first Porkys will probably always remain your secret).
Having said that and while this tries to be different but also maintain the sentiment of the group of boys (now even older than in the first one, but playing that teenage age they are moste definitely not anymore). It succeeds to a degree - some jokes hit home but not as many as in the first one. Even though the creator came back for this one, it never reaches the height it set itself.

the best one of the trilogy
I thought that this was the best movie of the Porky's trilogy. The best scene in all the movies is the graveyard scene and this movie has it. If you're looking for some deep intellectual stuff, stay away from this movie and the other two. But, if you're in the mood for good (unclean) fun try this movie. It's hilarious. And all those people out there who say women don't like this movie are wrong! I'm a young women and I loved this film when I was a teenager, plus I used to watch it with my brother and (get this) my mom. If you're offended by: foul language, nudity and sexual humor don't watch this movie! If you ignore this warning and watch it anyway don't complain that the characters said the "f word" too much or that everyone was obsessed with sex, 'cuz that's what it's about folks!
Had nothing to do with Porky
I understand it's a sequel but it had nothing to do with Porky. I still enjoyed it with the original cast.
It was the angel beach boys with the same story but not as good, taking down another villain.
I'm not hating on this movie but the writers could have been more creative.

Very funny and underrated
Rated R for Language and Nudity.
I have not seen the original 1982 film "Porky's".I have heard of it though.It was the highest grossing Canadian made film until "Bon Cop Bad Cop" came out.So I decided to watch Porky's II yesterday night when it was playing on IFC.Porky's II is a teen comedy.Its like the American Pie of the 1980's though I preferred American Pie.The film takes place in 1954, a day after the original Porky's.The film has some very funny moments and if you are a fan of teen comedies, check this one out.This film is about a bunch of teenagers who tries to stop some religious fanatics and the KKK from banning the Shakespeare school play.Many humorous things ensue.Porky's 2 is a very funny film and I recommend it for fans of films such as American Pie.

Nowhere near as good as the original...
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.

Not only is it funny...it carries great social commentary
Duel of words and "swords" *may contain a spoiler or two)
I'm a bit sad that so many people hate this film... it's entertainment, guys, not social commentary. C'mon people, this is one of those films where you check PC at the door!
While it *is* crude, it has some truly great funny moments in it, such as the duel of Shakespeare/Bible quotes (I shamelessly admit I love it when the principal says "Get the fluck outta here!"), the duel on the stage replacing a sword with a female mannequin leg (the death moment is priceless), and Wendy's besequined tart role-play humiliating the handsome jerk politician at a high-profile restaurant ("It tastes much better going down...!" EEEEW!!!)
Another thing I love about the Porky's films is the male nudity. Female nudity not integral to the plot is rampant in most films, and while part of the story here, it's delightful to see more naked men than in any other non-"adult" film I know. Even The Full Monty doesn't show all *this*! Equality at last! And in the '80s to boot!

No Porky but still pretty funny at times
This film follows on from the events of the first film but surprisingly the events at Porky's aren't mentioned; instead the characters are more interested in the fact that Pee Wee had sex with Wendy. The first part of the film is centred on his plans to get revenge on them for what they did to him in the first, not knowing that they know what he is up to. This leads to some antics in the local cemetery. Once this is out of the way the story centres on the school drama club's plan to put on a 'Shakespeare Night' with a selection of scenes from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo and Juliet'... this offends the local religious extremists, led by Reverend Flavel who object to some of the innuendo in the plays and the Klan, who object to a Seminole Romeo kissing a white Juliet. The Reverend is determined to have the performance stopped and with the help of sleazy politicians desperate for votes in the upcoming election he might succeed... if the students don't get their revenge in first.
It is odd that a film called 'Porky's II' doesn't feature the character but once it gets started he is soon forgotten. The plot involving Pee Wee setting up his friends for the 'graveyard revenge' was silly but did provide some decent laughs, especially as it reached its denouement. The secondary plot seemed even more unlikely; nothing about the characters suggested that they would fight to put on a production of Shakespeare... then we get the KKK, religious extremists and sleazy politicians for them to plot revenge against rather than just a single redneck in the Glades. Still if you can ignore the silliness it provides some good laughs. This film is definitely less leering than first; no peeking at girls showering, just a brief amount of female semi-nudity. There is however more male nudity; most clearly designed for comedy rather than salaciousness. The acting might not have been the best; Bill Wiley's performance as Flavel is probably the most memorable along with Kaki Hunter who was fun as Wendy, especially during the 'date scene'. Overall I'd say this was about as funny as the first even if it doesn't really feel like a 'Porky's' film.

Worse than the first.
Writer/director Bob Clark must've made a mint from his box office smash Porky's, so I can't really blame him for capitalising on his success with a guaranteed cash-cow sequel that repeats the same formula of dumb pranks and penis gags, while once again throwing in some racial tension to drive the story. What I do blame him for is making the film such a laugh-free mess, while toning down the raunchiness, one of the few factors that made the first Porky's bearable.
No-one in Porky's II gets laid: they're too busy prancing around on stage in a dreadful Shakespearian high-school production, which brings them to blows with a local evangelist Reverend Flavel (Bill Wiley), who deems the show obscene, the KKK, who object to Seminole Indian John Henry (Joseph Runningfox) playing the part of Romeo, and sleazy county commissioner Gebhardt (Edward Winter), who tries to seduce Pee Wee's girlfriend Wendy (Kaki Hunter). Cue lots of desperate gags that involve someone dressed as a George Romero-style zombie, an exotic dancer dubbed Graveyard Gloria (Cisse Cameron), a sword-fight with a mannequin's leg, a snake in a toilet bowl, and fake vomit.
3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.

I think it's better than the 1st one!
I think that Porky's II is better than the first one. I remember watching it as a kid, and laughing my a$$ off. WOOGIE WOOGIE! It's one of the best parts of the movie. I still laugh forever when I watch it. I dont remember laughing once in the 1st one. 10 stars!!!
The Hangover Syndrome
Moral of the story..those who disagree with you must be humiliated !
Having enjoyed the original Porky's film I was expecting more of the same but alas I was to be disappointed.This movie is just terrible. The villains are completely over the top right wing caricatures (who curiously are always convenient bad guys in movies !) who our liberal heroes must humiliate and put in their place.Smug self righteous drivel ! That whole scene in the gym with the KKK members is just so stupid.Tommy and his friends would be too wussy to take them on alone so guess what ? They fill the gym with burly native Americans ! Kids in 50s America would never have been this liberal as another contributor pointed out.My advice folks is stay away from this self righteous rubbish.

Somehow better rather than worse
Of all the films to fall victim to the law of diminishing returns, somehow Porky's 2: The Next Day isn't one of them. It's actually better than the original mainly due to the fact that it's funnier and less misogynistic. There's actually more male than female nudity here in a clever subversion of expectations.
The cast is more fun to spend 90 mins with and just generally less irritating, helped massively by less of Dan Monahan's grating Pee Wee and Kaki Hunter going from an object to an actual character with more depth than anyone else.
The opening recap feels pointless but apart from that Bob Clark's direction and ability to get the timing of comedy right has thankfully improved quite a bit, there's still a fair few that don't land or go on for too long but it's funnier overall and there's some actually memorable bits here.

A Sequel That Should Have Never Been Made!!
This movie is terrible. STRAIGHT TERRIBLE!! One of the worst movies ever made!! I went to see this movie because the first one was so good, I thought that the "sequel" would be at least decent. WRONG!! The plot was weak and the acting was hokey. It was just a terrible movie. The director tried to capitalize on the popularity of the first movie, and rushed to make this B.S. They should have just left well enough alone. Kim Cattrell (Who later gained fame on "Sex And The City") didn't even bother to reprise her role as "Miss Honeywell" which should have been the indicator of how bad this movie was. Don't even watch this on video or DVD! A total waste of film!! Matter of fact, you need to find the producer and ask him for a refund!!

Just as funny as the first!
"Porky's II: The Next Day" takes place the next day, literally. I think it's just as funny as the first, only now, it's got some social issues added to it. Like the first one, Pee Wee and the gang are back and they're up to their old pranks again. A great comedy to watch.

Just as hilarious as the first
For those that liked the first, this is the perfect sequel. For those that didn't like it, this movie isn't directed at you. Stay away from it and don't even start complaining about the nudity and sexuality in it. But for those of us that appreciate the humour contained in here, there is more of the same stuff.
I will just tell you that I have not laughed as much as I did in this movie in quite some time unless you include Eddie Murphy's Delirious. But as a film this is one funny gag after another once again. If you want to know what is generically funny about this film, read the review for Porky's. It is the same kind of humour in both films. However, each film has a few scenes that I will never forget. In the first one it was the penis sketch artist scene. In here it will be the rendition that Billy and his counterpart put on in their Shakespeare Festival. They are dueling to the death in an epic sword fight. One of the swords break and it is up to Tommy to find a sword for them to finish to scene properly. So he hands him a leg from a woman's manikin...the same leg that made a nice lamp in Christmas Story, both films directed by honorary Canadian, Bob Clark. This has to be seen to be appreciated.
I loved this movie and I really recommend it to those that love high school humour. And if you have seen the first and liked it, you will love this one as well.

Miserable and juvenile...
Another typical miserable, juvenile retread of the original with less laughs and more crude humor. The gang of idiots try to embarrass a bunch of educated people whose plan is to close down their theatre production.
Bad, bad, bad movie--and guess what? It's just like every Police Academy sequel ever made. Quoting one of the worst characters of all time: "It stinks!"
