Fresh and Exciting

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I've seen this movie several times and it still makes me laugh. Kevin Smith writes great dialogue that is funny and uses the jokes with the swearing and stuff well and not over the top. Is internet references in this movie well considering that time that the movie was created. Great idea bring former porn stars in the cast. All in all I think it's a fun movie and it's a shame that it wasn't a box office hit for him but as with many of his movies he's ahead of his time. As far as movies go outside the view askew universe I would say that this is probably one of his best. It has all the elements of a good Kevin Smith movie references comic books Star Wars and good humor.One more thing to add the end credits bet is absolutely hilarious

I don't know how objective I'm capable to be when it comes to Kevin Smith movies, but to me this was awesome. Essentially, this is classic romance comedy, but wrapped in completely unusual package. Politically incorrect, vulgar, perverse, and most of all fun. I'm sorry I didn't see it back when it was released, cause I would know it by heart by now. Roommates and best friends since childhood, Zack and Miri, have seemingly hopeless financial troubles, so they decide to get back on their feet by making a porno. If I still didn't persuade you to see this flick, I will just say that lead roles in their porno, beside of course themselves, play Jason Mewes, Katie Morgan and Traci Lords. Now, if you have no idea who are at least some of the legends I mentioned above, then you shouldn't watch this movie and feel free to continue living under your puritan rock. :P9/10

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008): Dir: Kevin Smith / Cast: Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Craig Robinson, Traci Lords, Jason Mewes: Comedy that addresses the amateur quality of porn flicks. Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play roommates who resort to making a porn flick when they are threatened with a possible eviction. It is obvious that this couple will eventually surface their true feelings resulting in a conventional ending. Great idea directed with insight by Kevin Smith but it doesn't rank with his best work, which includes Chasing Amy, Clerks and Clerks 2. Rogen and Banks have great comic potential and here is a script with promising originality and rather than poke fun of the amateur quality of it all, they will do the obvious, which is tease viewers with romantic elements that were in plain sight to begin with. The ending is also a cheap payoff where certain people end up in certain places with lame explanations to clear everything up. Scene stealing supporting work by Craig Robinson who works at a coffee shop and is bullied by his wife. He has a hilarious scene where he audition actors. Traci Lords plays a porn actress with a knack for bubbles. Jason Mewes also makes a terrific stretch from his usual Jay persona to playing a porno star stripper with attitude. Expect graphic nudity but also expect to laugh at the absurdity of adult entertainment. Score: 7 / 10
