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.
