Porky's (1981)

Not that funny but has its place

[4/10 · 10 February 2019]

One of the most successful comedies of its time, Porky's has been somewhat written out of the history books for better or worse.

For me the film doesn't deliver a lot of laughs, the jokes are at worse immature and drown out way too far. The characters aren't particularly likeable and some are down right irritating with the actors doing a middle of the road job. Unlike other raunchy comedies of the day like Animal House and Caddyshack, the film doesn't have any memorable moments or quotes with the exception of the infamous peep hole scene.

With that said, the film is actually quite influential in the teen genre. Although not the first comedy to do crude and low brow humour, it was the first to do it with teenagers and has paved the way for American Pie and The Inbetweeners. All of today's dumb comedies owes them selfs to the film.

Overall, the film is not very good but it doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Disaster Movie (2008)

A complete piece of rubbish

[1/10 · 9 July 2014]

If you want the worst movie of all time then look no further

In the 1970s and 1980s spoof movies like air-plane and blazing saddles were edgy, clever and funny but now it's epic movie, date movie and scary movie which are not. But disaster movie reaches a new all time low.

Believe it or not I actually used to like this movie (no pun intended) I even shown it in the cinema with my dad and owned it on DVD but after re watching it I realise how stupid it is, I was 10 at the time so beat me up to hard.

Bottom line disaster movie is the worst comedy ever made and should be a lost film.

Three Amigos! (1986)

Not amazing but good

[5/10 · 5 July 2014]

Three amigos may not be John Landis's best work but it is a enjoyable movie.

The film, spoofing movies like seven samurai and the magnificent seven, has a number of good jokes and good acting from Steve Martin and Chevy chase. Martin short not so much.

Landis claims the studio took it out of he's control and it shows because compared to Animal house and Blues brothers, it's nothing special.

But three amigos is funny watch that I recommend you watch though don't go out of you're to.

The is currently available on Netflix as of July 2014
