A Pig's Tale (1996)
Kids' comedy with all the clichés. Six boys (hero, pudgy, dumb, romeo, etc), reluctantly sent to summer camp, are grouped together in a ramshackle hut, and instantly identified as losers and outcasts by the overconfident camp bullies, who target gorgeous Tiffany (Jakub) as their Lothario's girlfriend. They set out to make everyone's life miserable as they impose their authority on the other kids and ineffective counselors alike. Andy, the good-guy hero, of course has a crush on Tiffany, but hasn't a clue how to approach her. Gradually, the nice guys gain the edge over the bullies, by honest endeavor and standing up for themselves - and in doing so, win over the other kids, even Tiffany. Until the bullies frame them and have them expelled.

This is such a good movie it's very strange why on earth this hasn't been released onto DVD yet?!? Have they lost the original movie reel :oI really think this should make its way into DVD as just like the stupids it was a very good under the radar mid 90s filmI assume the issues maybe with the film companies that have changed hands and the rights haven't transferred?This really needs to be made onto DVD when VHS sells at over £50 it shows people will buy it!
A Pig's Tale A Brilliant, Funny, Thrashing, Exciting, Adorable Yet Cool Family Childhood Film. Amazing acting from all of the child stars. Especially Graham Sack and Lisa Jakub they both played lovely parts and connected well together throughout the film.Paul Tassie directed A Pig's Tale very good from my point of view. Todd Richardson, Scott Sandorf, and Charles Ransom wrote the film and brought together a amazing story and turned into film. A Pig's Tale was a exciting and funny adventure for all families to enjoy.It's a kid's comedy of the summer at summer camp where anything can happen. "Summer camp will never be the same." Six boys who are pigs will forever bring a big adventure for all families. AWESOME COMEDY!
This movie is on along the same lines as Thrashin', and Camp Nowhere, absolutely brilliant. Yes Prodution value is relatively terrible, the storyline is what some would call lame or just plain terrble, but that doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that this movie is awesome. Anyone who is a fan of cheezy movies of the nineties, this is for you, clichés run rampant, heroes are forged by trials of fire, and overly elaborate pranks are pulled, and did i mention there is a heroic waterskiing scene. If you ever get a chance to watch this movie you will be lucky beyond measure, its a treat for all intelligent human beings.
Yes, the film is nothing but one huge cliche...boy falls for girl, boy has to defeat bigger boy to get girl, boy's quirky friends help boy accomplish all of this.However, the movie turns out being what it was supposed to be--fun. In this era of every film trying to make some point or political statement, it's rare that a movie just comes around to make us laugh. Luckily, this movie came around to do just that. While it's made for children, both kids and adults...well, maybe adults, will enjoy it. Like I said before, it's just a fun little movie, and if more people knew about it, it would be sure to become a cult favorite.
