Patti Rocks is a 1988 comedy film directed by David Burton Morris starring John Jenkins, Karen Landry, and Chris Mulkey.

As she refuses to talk on the phone with him, Billy wants a friend to accompany him on a visit to her La Crosse home to explain that as a married man and a father of two, he would prefer she not have the child.

Patti Rocks was written as a sequel to the 1975 film Loose Ends, which was the directorial debut of husband-and-wife pair David Burton Morris and Victoria Wozniak.
