A Disappointing Continuation

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Spork (Savannah Stehlin) is a 14 year old hermaphrodite outcast. She lives with her older brother Spit in a trailer. Her best friend is black girl Tootsie Roll living in the next trailer. Chunk is a fellow outcast who tells her to be herself. Charlie has two gay father but refuses to be a fag. Spork gets bullied by the mean girls and she hits Betsy Byotch on the nose with a basketball. Betsy vows revenge. There's a school dance contest. Tootsie Roll gets injured and can't win the prize money to travel to visit her father in prison. Spork decides to enter.This is a weird and completely original movie. This is a strange alternate take on the very familiar high school genre. It's appealing and the young actors are terrific. It has a fun energy that is awkward and stumbling. If little blonde girls doing blackface is funny, then this is the movie for you.

This was absolutely adorable. I laughed a lot as I watched the movie. I felt I could relate to both Spork and her brother. A true underdog movie, you see a family with literally NOTHING going for them and a little person trying to make sense of her mixed gender and find a place to fit in with a society with no room for people with gender issues, poverty, or orphans. It's wonderful to see the relationships of the characters with each other develop, as well as Spork learning to love and accept herself for who she is.I loved the bright colors, the animations, and the music. The acting was excellent. I could really sympathize and laugh right along with them. The story was interesting and it didn't drag on and on.I recommend it to anyone who isn't afraid of people different than themselves, and even more so to those who are. Open up your heart and your mind. We don't all need to fit into a specific category or caste. We're all people too!

I'm currently an 8th grade girl, and I am positive that I'm not the only fourteen year old girl that views this film as completely unrealistic. I'm sure that NO middle school in America has students that act like that, I mean, the popular girls' hair ridiculously teased, all blonde and blue eyes? Even though its a common stereotype that all populars are in ONE clique with FIVE people ALL LOOKING AND DRESSING THE SAME, the cliché isn't true at all. Half the population of the school is made of popular kids, with hair ranging from blonde to red to brown, and eyes that vary in color also, and while they dress similar,(Hollister, Abercrombie, etc.)they certainly don't dress identical, and they don't all wear their hair all the same. There are lots of popular kids, and they don't all hang out with each other, they are in different groups, but get along well with the other groups that are as popular as they are, so it just seems like they are all BFF's. Also, winning a dance-off doesn't automatically make you popular. I know, I know, they were making the classic ending, a girl beats the bad guy and makes friends all at once,but this is just too much for me. This movie shouts out, "If you put your mind to it,everything will just happen. One day, you'll automatically just have a better life." But that's not true. If Spork were in my school, she would have friends (Because in this movie, she can't find a friend to sit with out of three hundred people in the cafeteria)Sure, not popular friends but friends. If she were to win the competition, people would politely compliment her, but view her the same way, but this time knowing that she can dance well. Winning one dance-off can't make you popular. There are tons of talented students in a middle school, and most of them are already popular. Why swoon over Spork when you have a popular boy that can play guitar solo wonderfully? Becoming 'popular' or developing trust and making true friends takes time, usually a couple months, not one week. And the popular girl running off with Chunk? WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

I find these glowing and frankly quite obvious shill reviews for this absolute disaster of a film to be somewhat annoying and also telling; it's 2012 and clearly this movie sank like a stone (deservedly) with only the most bored of cineastes bothering to give it a try at three in the morning on streaming Netflix.Spork is a terrible, stupid movie which supposes that its audience has forgotten about or never seen Napoleon Dynamite. I'm not a huge fan of Dynamite, but there is at least a sweetness inherent in the absurd material that makes you smile and definitely produces a few genuine laughs from time to time. Spork is lacking in even that, and is populated with unpleasant, slutty kids acting like...unpleasant, slutty kids? Who dance like sluts at the dance-off? And then it ends? No humor to speak of, and definitely not worth your time, even if you do happen to be bored to tears.Avoid at all costs. Absolute crap.
