Movie Reviews of Gordy
Movie Review: Sensational! I love this better than Babe!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even as an adult, Gordy is one of my favorite movies of all time! I received it for Christmas as a kid, and while i had never heard of it at the time, i was thrilled with it when watching it. I love country music (my favorite kind) and i was just starting to get in to country music at the time, and was one of my favorite parts about it. Doug stone is sensational in his role as well as Kristy Young and the young man that plays Hanky. Both very smart and talented young actors. If you like this kind of movie, you will appreciate the Christian values (the hymn "By and By [When the Morning Comes]" can actually be heard by a congregation singing in a country church as Gordy makes his trekk off the farm) (the hymn is older, but it was acutlaly my first introduction to hymn from this movie), and also appreciate the cuteness of the pig and kids, the beautiful countryside (not sure if it was filmed in Arkansas), the fun of bad guys Brinks, Deets, Snipes, and Crudmen, and all the country music, even a musical number of "Ya'll Come" from Branson featuring Roy Clark, Moe Bandy, Mickey Gilley, Boxcar Willie, Jim Stafford, Buck Trent, and Cristy Lane. Doug Stone's real life hits and songs including "More Love", "Dream High" and "Wishbone" are presented superbly, as well as the Eddie Rabbitt/Crystal Gayle duet "I Made A Promise" and movie tune, "Your Heart's On the Line" by Kristy Young.
In response to a previous reviewer's comments, i hardley think that extremely-mild body part launguage in Kristy's song such as "butt" "buns" and "fly" are innappropriate for any 3 year old, much less a young woman of 12 to be singing about. (no crude sexuality impilied in the song). This movie is as wholesome and as Christian-valued as it gets for kids. Just another reason i love it. This movie is outstanding for any country music lover, and is worth it to spring for even just for the music itself. In comparison, Babe is a more gentle-paced, drama like movie, while Gordy is more high-energy, line dance kinda groove with comedy, a little drama, and even a little love story. If you're looking for something that's fun, funny, and a toe-tapping good time (while not a well-known movie, it's not low budget either. The acting and filming is excellent quality), this is the movie folks!
Summary of Gordy
Bring home the lovable talking pig who waddled off the farm and into our hearts -- and the movie everyone's gone hog-wild over! It's Gordy! The world's cutest piglet whose kindness and bravery lead him and the children he loves on one big adventure after another! The fun begins the moment you enter Meadowbrook Farm, a magical world where real live animals can talk! When Gordy's family is trucked "up north," a mysterious place from which no pig has ever returned, Gordy runs off to find them. He soon befriends two equally adorable children -- the only humans who can hear him because they are "pure of heart. "Together, they teach the adult world the true meaning of friendship and the value of family. Now you can own this heartwarming piggy tale full of charm, laughter, and toe-tapping music from the biggest names in country music -- and "overflowing with good will and genuine affection." (Seattle Weekly)Gordy, the kooky adventures of a modest little piglet that could, had the bad luck to go snout-to-snout with powerhouse porker Babe and became the "other" talking-pig movie of 1995. Pure-of-heart Gordy is a modest little guy who never loses sight of his mission--to find his lost family--as he confounds the pig-napping conspiracies of a sneering villain and his bumbling henchmen and becomes a corporate spokes-pig, media darling, country music maven, and national hero! Directed by eccentric documentarian Mark Lewis (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History), this oddball family comedy lacks the storybook images and polished grace of Babe, but it has its own goofy, cartoonishly exaggerated charm. While the shadowy threat of the dungeonlike slaughterhouse may be too intense for the very young, no pigs are harmed and happy endings are guaranteed for all. --Sean Axmaker
