THE DISCUSSION-Summer Movie Review

PORKY PIG in REPEAT OFFENDER

Summary:
Carl E. Tail (Porky Pig) is a pig on the lam in Repeat Offender. Every new step is a step in farm's way, as the authorities try to pin him with crimes he may or may not have committed. To feed the drama, we never find out if he is the pig behind the crime. The film culminates in a massive action sequence when Tail finally runs snout of options. Sounds promising, but what do in-house critics Josh and Nathan have to say?

Nathan:
"My chief complaint here is that the film seems to have trouble finding it's footing early on--it seems to just keep starting over and over again. Other than that, I think this is a solid, sizzling action movie.

Josh:
"I can't give it a similar vote of confidence. I think Porky really muddies this one up with his performance. As usual, he hams it up in front of the camera. I think his star quality is beginning to fade."

Nathan:
"I don't see what you're talking about, Josh. This movie is generating a lot of excitement, and should rock the box office. I think Porky will continue to bring home the bacon for years to come. If anything, I think we will see his star power continue to ingrease."

Josh:
"No way. This thing is rotten, and Porky just seems to be repeating himself in this role. He better make a break fast, or his career will be over. By this point, he's just rooting around for the easiest paycheck he can find."

Nathan:
"I think this is a great piece of pork."

Josh:
"I totally disagree. It's the same story for the star, the writers, the studio, the director, and everyone--This is just an act of stutter desperation."


Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Catch Repeat Offender in theaters this Hogust.
