When I sat down to watch this Disney movie, I expected to be at least somewhat entertained and remember my childhood. I forgot that I had watched Babe and ended up spending 19.99 for some movie about a pig that tries to save his family for the first 5 minutes and then becomes a CEO of a large corporation on Wall Street. I am not lying people a pig becomes a CEO of a company, a legitimate company! There is this one character who's name I fortunately forgot who sings some hick song and is dressed like Hannah Montana next to Billy Ray Cyrus. The only thing that was enjoyable was a retarded rap song called "Pig Power in the House" by Tag Team. Don't see this movie if you are near sharp objects for reasons I would not disclose. If it were up to me "Gordy" would be bacon right now.
... View MoreI'll keep this seemingly inevitable comparison brief. Whereas Babe is a sweet, enchanting gem of a family film, Gordy for me isn't in the same league, in fact it is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Other than the bright and breezy country and western soundtrack and the fact that Gordy is somewhat adorable, this is rather charmless family fare. Gordy does look rather cheap, not in the scenery, the scenery is nice, but the flat and rushed camera-work does not do it justice. The story is very predictable and never seems to find a direction, the direction is sloppy, the script is tedious and unfunny and a vast majority of the jokes are corny. Add some horrible acting and every barnyard cliché in the book, do we really need the evil boyfriend idea again, and we have a film of low-quality and very little charm, also even for quite a short movie it drags badly. Kids might like it, but to be honest adults might find it an insult to their intelligence. 2/10 Bethany Cox

View MoreIf you're looking for a very well done, deep movie, I would recommend you to look elsewhere.I became curious about the movie when my family and I were headed to our vacation to Charleston, SC. This was just shortly before it came out in theaters; the pig playing Gordy was visiting North Carolina (Statesville, I believe) where we stayed overnight. I wanted to see him but the travelling schedule didn't allow it.I was given Gordy on VHS for Christmas '95 and I've only watched it one other time since. The acting isn't anything to write for nor are the effects for the pig's talking. I have to say though, I thought it was neat seeing a pig swim.
... View MoreI love this film. An adventure takes place from a country farm where Gordy's father taken away up North and later learned that his family joined, he tries to find them.The pig makes friends with a daughter of a country music singer (Kristy Young), which country music singer Doug Stone plays her father. Later they make friends with a wealthy family which Gordy saves a wealthy son from the pool.That's a fun movie to watch.Plus country music singers like Christy Lane, Moe Brandy, Roy Clark, and Tom Lester of "Green Acres" fame appears in this movie as well.I give it 10 out of 10.
