Kristy Puchko Nerdist 07/27/2017
Pork Pie offers a wondrous road trip comedy full of humor and heart, with a healthy dash of Kiwi sass. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 05/10/2017
3.5/5
I can't say there's any more to it than colour, movement and an abundance of good humour but it's enough to persuade you to suspend disbelief when required -- which is much of the time. Go to Full Review Eddie Cockrell Variety 03/09/2017

3/5
Pork Pie packs enough fun and kinetic energy to make it across the finish line. Go to Full Review CJ Johnson Film Mafia 05/15/2017
3/5
Matt Murphy honours father Geoff Murphy's 1980 original - a milestone in New Zealand cinema - with loving care, identifying its mass appeal, correctly, not so much as being hysterically funny as being absolutely stuffed full of heart. Go to Full Review Vicky Roach Daily Telegraph (Australia) 05/10/2017
3.5/5
Murphy does an impressive job of pulling all the narrative strands together for the climactic end sequence, combining a tangible sense of threat with a credible, feel-good resolution. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

arcosu T @RT52034894 01/09/2025 Not a fan, quite overrated See more 06/08/2021 Great fun, heartwarming and uniquely Kiwi. See more 03/24/2021 Matt Murphy's remake of dad Geoff's 1981 kiwi road trip comedy, Goodbye Pork Pie. It's so long since I watched the original that I can't compare the two films, but judged on it's own merits Pork Pie holds up well. I wasn't totally on board for the first half of the film, but it builds up to a convincing emotional climax thanks to Dean O'Gorman's portrayal of lovesick loser Jon. See more 02/07/2021 An imaginative, vivid and heart-warming version of the original, without the outdated 80s misogyny. SO MUCH FUN! See more l g @bearcrkrd 04/17/2020 sweet, sweet movie. lack of CGI and trick shots was the result of budget limitations, or, a stroke of genius. See more 08/18/2019 Meh, not very good really. Very poor character development is just one of the issues with this movie. See more Read all reviews
