I would give this turkey 2*, because it does have the capability of enabling a viewer to recall some of those words we seldom use on a day-to-day basis, but which have a place in our vocabulary:
VACUOUS - Stupid; senseless. INSIPID - Tasteless; dull. MORONIC - Foolish; stupid. VAPID - (also...) Tateless; dull.
We could add several others, but these pretty-well sum-up all which is necessary to describe this flick.
I caught this on a Friday mid-day, with a friend who wanted to continue viewing it more than I - but I was frankly fascinated also by its awfulness..
I'd rather have Forrest Gump or Goober from Mayberry teaching a child of mine than the airhead lead actress here. Even when she supposedly was being serious in her effort and being lauded by her superiors, there wan't anything in her persona to evoke the least bit of empathy or interest - zilch! I'm sure the writers/producer/director intended her fiancé to be portrayed a "hunk" -- try "nerd" instead, and see definitions above.
The guys who perpetrated the supposedly scandalous tape, and who I'm sure the director intended to be nefarious and clever, were as idiotic as the rest of the cast, about as believable,
The group of guys and gals in "Porky's" portrayed characters who seemed "deep" compared with those here -- and their performances were closer those one might expect, say, from Brando, Olivier and Bette Davis by comparison.
As far as the ending and all of the scenes following "spring break," who-in-the-hell could possibly give a tinker's damn??
The most interesting thing I have from this film, and the only thing which provides anything worth subsequent discussion is this (and I feel provides a somewhat interesting dilemma).
Which was worse? The lead actress' performance on the video tape where she was faking an orgasm for the others on vacation, or her actual performance in this opus?
