Pork Pie offers a wondrous road trip comedy full of humor and heart, with a healthy dash of Kiwi sass.

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Pork Pie packs enough fun and kinetic energy to make it across the finish line.

Film Mafia

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.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Telegraph (Australia)

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.

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.

An imaginative, vivid and heart-warming version of the original, without the outdated 80s misogyny. SO MUCH FUN!

sweet, sweet movie. lack of CGI and trick shots was the result of budget limitations, or, a stroke of genius.

Meh, not very good really. Very poor character development is just one of the issues with this movie.
