Pigs (2007) User Reviews

so-so

[adiwsusanto · 5/10 · 17 January 2008]

I think this movie lies somewhere in the middle between most movie in the genre. It wants to be a funny, romantic movie yet the topic that it took is something where you expect to see naked girl most of the times. Guess what, you won't see skin (until the end & it's boobs without faces). Unfortunately it's not that funny either and you definitely can't ask a girl to see through this movie expecting her to feel the movie as the romance factor is about 0.

One girl could change you, maybe. The acting however is NOT good at all. I just don't believe that Miles is such a Don Juan, his best friend Cleaver acts like some punk ass, Ben is such a nerd and X is a mechanic. X do looks cute though. The pace however is just too slow and change of event is too fast. Verdict, 5 out of 10. It has a promising beginning then slowed down to I almost quit it. Took me 2 days to finish the movie.

Like a bad indie.

This movie is a usual indie-looking piece of work. I love indies, but not indie comedies. They suck.

This one was actually OK. There were things i didn't like, but also couple jokes i laughed at.

The most interesting thing about this boy-makes-a-bet-boy-falls-in-love- boy-gets-caught-boy-is-sorry kind of movie is that (SPOILER) the main character isn't an asshole, hes friend is.

(END OF SPOILER) It was a OK movie, and i don't regret watching it. 5 stars

Clueless Canucks Muck Up Another Flick

[charlytully · 6/10 · 25 November 2008]

The only reason this film is "set" in the USA, as opposed to where it was shot--CANADA!--is the anti-American sentiment that our college kids are as crude as Saudi oil. Therefore, when the main character Miles loses track of the 26 letters of the alphabet in his attempt to "rail" at least one chick whose surname begins with each initial before he graduates, the final title card says his new quest will involve scoring a girl for each "of the 50 states" (NOT 10 provinces!). Since there are not enough Canadians to make a DVD profitable, they are constantly trying to trick us into thinking all the really DUMB stuff they dream up for bogus American characters to do is actually happening south of their border. Furthermore, they think we are so ignorant that we won't notice the local radio station in this college town is "CMFU"--a Canadian designation.

France has a quota on American films so their culture is not polluted, and it is way overdue for the U.S. to impose a similar self-defense measure against the Canadians. If you don't believe they're trying to further their economic advantage (yes, their Loonie is actually worth MORE than a genuine dollar, thanks to the effects their smear & smut campaign already has achieved), try sitting through this PIGS slop! At the very least, there needs to be a clear surgeon general's-type warning on each Toronto or Vancouver-produced DVD case such as:

WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPEND MONEY SENDING MORE AMER!CAN JOBS TO THE NAFTA-LOVING CANADIANS BY PAYING TO SEE THEIR ANTI-AMER!CAN PROPAGANDA!

Contains hardly any nudity at all!

A guy keeps files on the girls he sleeps with since he wants to sleep with all girls based on their alphabet names.

He then falls in love with one of them.His friend betrays him by showing her the files and explaining her the plan.Girl gets hurt.

Guy tries to win her over saying he's a changed man since he met her.

It might seem like a good story on paper but the script and direction is pretty dull.Some of the dialogue is also pretty awful.

Now if you saw the cover of this DVD and read that it even compares itself to PORKY'S, you just might think that this is a movie with a lot of nudity in the tradition of American PIE for example... but you'd be wrong.

The sex talk is there but if you want nudity,you'll have to search elsewhere.

Apart from a brief breasts shot at the end(we don't see the girl's face),it's pretty much nudity free.

if you still want to rent it,you might want to check the special feature whip 'em out pigs unrated auditions (features breasts auditions)and the filmmaker and cast commentary where you'll learn how they did this movie on the cheap.

I will never get these 84 minutes back.

This film has a great premise for a movie, if you like the kind of movies with gratuitous nudity, outrageous shocking moments, and hilariously uncomfortable situations and misunderstandings. There was one shot of nudity at the very end from a woman who had absolutely nothing to do with the film. There were no shocking moments. And the uncomfortable situations and misunderstandings were unrealistic and often hard to sit through. I did not laugh once. And I am not exaggerating. The many attempts at comedy failed miserably mainly because you could almost see the punchline before the joke was told. I didn't care one bit about the characters. And it seemed that they were all missing something. The main character, Miles, was supposed to be charming had no charm. Cleaver, who was supposed to be a Stifler-like character(American Pie), was just plain annoying. The original Stifler, you just love to hate him but can't hate him for long because he's pretty damn funny. When Cleaver's character attempts to copy him in this film, you just hate to know him and want to punch him in the face. And then there's Ben, the quiet roommate who is somewhat of the moral compass in the film. But he has probably never had a girl in his life, and he decides to tattle-tale on Miles late in the film, in the hopes that he will win the girl that Miles is supposedly "changing his ways" for. After Ben snitched on Miles, there was so little tension in the room I felt they were about to have a slap fight. And even THAT didn't happen.

And then there's the soundtrack. Normally I wouldn't comment on such a thing but it was distracting and pathetic. There was hardly any musical score to the movie, instead there were poorly written and poorly produced songs that were so completely blatant about what was happening in that particular scene or montage. If Tenacious D was retarded, somehow had retarded children, then those children formed a band, it would be the guys who made this soundtrack.

So here's what you should do instead for 84 minutes. Listen to your favorite comedy CD that you've heard a million times while you surf the web for the most softcore porn you can find. You'll at least have somewhat of a smile on your face from a joke you've already heard, and you won't have to wait til the 83rd minute to see some nudity. If you watch the movie anyway, please comment on here and if you can honestly say that you didn't waste your time, then please don't procreate.

Much worse than expected

[mweigand-1 · 1/10 · 26 April 2008]

A predictable formula, poorly acted, cliché dialog that no one would say in real life. At many times, you can't understand what the actors are saying, and frequently the music covers what they're saying. I kept waiting for things to pick up, but the humor declined, until the final minute, which I give the directors a lot of credit for. To follow such a bad script and premise so long, and then throw the Hollywood ending in the toilet is brave. I just don't think very many viewers will wait that long for such a small payoff. Teenagers hoping for a lot of skin probably won't wait 'til the end for that payoff, either. Two chuckles and a pretty girl don't make up for everything that's wrong with this movie. If it were someone's student project, I'd cut them some slack. Kind of like a porno without the sex scenes. The cinematography at times literally looks like a porno.

Pretty funny. Nice ending

[texasrangerdan · 7/10 · 11 October 2009]

I thought this film was pretty funny. If you're a fan of the college/American Pie type genre then give it a go. Interesting ending and a few laughs along the way. You'll probably be surprised at the quality of acting given the anonymous cast list. Typical level of female nudity, chauvinism, sexism etc for this type of film. Don't expect an artsy masterpiece, but I found the cinematography and direction pretty interesting. Generally an interesting take on the college humor genre from a sub-blockbuster level budget. Your girlfriend will hate watching this with you. If you haven't got one then you'll probably enjoy it

For the guys...Not the girls

[katza_33 · 2/10 · 4 December 2007]

OK for starters this movie absolutely shocked me. The biggest load of crap I have ever seen! They guys in this movie were the most disgusting, rudest, a**holes. I felt like strangling Cleaver and Miles because they acted like complete horny idiots. This movie makes girls look like cheap sl*ts who just want to have sex with any random guy that happens to step foot on their doorstep. But there is one thing that made me give this movie an extra rating point and that was the ending. I am so glad that Gabrielle got Miles back. Just when I thought that Gabrielle gave in to Miles, there was another twist. Good on her for that. Bout time someone taught Miles a lesson. What a jerk he turned out to be! This is definitely one for the guys. I know most girls would be disgusted with it.

Low budget flick with heart and good characters

[destroyerwod · 7/10 · 13 June 2015]

I saw this movie years ago, and i gave it a 8 because i loved it. Not looking back at it of course i was a bit too exited. The movie is good, its fun and all, but its a bit too much to go into a 8.... Its more like a 7. No i am not joking. Sure its low budget, but the story is fun to follow and interesting, i really had fun with this movie when i saw it back then and today in a garage sale i found a DVD with 4 movies on it, and one of those was this one. For only 1$ !!! I purchased it and watch it again and yes its genuinely a good movie. I want to keep this review spoiler free so i can't say too much, but definitely the kind of movie that show heart and interesting characters without going on the excessive American pie territory, which i like also, but its cool to see different for a change.

More or less this movie is ground more in reality, don't expect over the top scenes or whatever and it focus more on the characters themselves.

In any case no matter if you like it or not, for me its one of my guilty pleasures, a movie that don't rely on big budget or such to be fairly enjoyable and a good time.

What a pile of sh*t

[al_ashmore · 1/10 · 6 January 2012]

what a waste of 80 minutes, i love films like this, American pie, road trip etc, but this was just not funny! and *SPOILER ALERT* you can't follow a character for an entire film and then in the last 30 seconds decide he's the bad guy! you need to explain it a little more!! i know he was a pig all the way through, but the point was he was changing! then the secondary character comes in and takes his naked picture so they are all even?? apart from anything this guy wouldn't care about having a naked picture of him floating around! AND all they way through the secondary character was a complete c*ck blocking, conniving pu**y about the whole thing! so basically I'm meant to hate EVERYONE in this film?? oh and the main guy who was meant to be a player was funny looking, just throwing that one out there XD

To sum up, terrible plot in the end, not funny, waste of time, don't bother!

What fun!

[fogel · 10/10 · 18 November 2007]

Oh, I expected this to be complete rubbish but I was totally disappointed, in a good way! Totally had all that you want from a comedy. It made you laugh in almost every scene. The fact that it had sex in most of those scenes only made the experience that much more enjoyable. And for me, a guy, this was a BIG plus. Unfortunately, my girlfriend disagrees. She thinks that making women merely a sexual object is something that we as a society have spent generations trying to make unacceptable. But, what the hey, you get to laugh for 85 minutes and isn't that what life is all about in the end? So, you have two choices, you can go see Pigs or you won't. I guess most of you won't see it, which, ironically, makes you all pigs...

This is by far the worst movie ever.

[donboderme · 1/10 · 24 August 2014]

Again, let me repeat it. This is by far the worst movie EVER!!!! The ending was stupid. The character who is the roommate the most worst personality in the world. Again let me repeat he's worthless, and the ending makes the whole movie suck. There is literally no logic to the movie what so ever and the story line is pure crap. Especially the ending. Do yourself a favor and watch any of the American Pie movies. There much funnier, have better story lines, and actually worth your time. Who ever wrote and produced this film is a simpleton. On top of everything, you can here their Irish accents come out during half the movie. The actors are the worst at trying to fake an American Accent.

He-he

[saider · 8/10 · 6 January 2008]

Average wanna-be-comedy for the time when you got some free time and really nothing else to do. Acting is pretty much OK, jokes not-so-fun(unless you enjoy flat sex jokes). Usually i'd give it 4. But it earned my 8 just for the ending. And for "the producers were strongly advised to include female nudity"! Now i know why "american pie presents" got amount of boobs that would impress even a soft-core pr0n director! Anyhow, too bad they couldn't get some humor from the last 1.5 minutes of the movie to the whole 85 minutes. As i said- only if u got free time and nothing else to do.

Ah, yeah, don't watch it with your girlfriend. Ever.
