ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO
Description
Get ready for the furious humerous entertainment which goes where no movie has dared go before! Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express) and Elizabeth Banks (Role Models) star as dual cash-strapped roommates who try to get out of debt by creation an adult film. Once the cameras begin rolling, things fast get complicated…and hilarious! Writer/Director Kevin Smith is at his funniest, corroborated by a multi-coloured cast, together with Craig Robinson (“The Office”), Jason Mewes (Clerks films), Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard), and Brandon Routh (Superman Returns). Critics promise, “If you favourite The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad, you’ll love Zack and Miri” (Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV).Amazon.com
Fans of writer/director Kevin Smith (auteur of Dogma and Chasing Amy) should run to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno–the precious filmmaker has obviously done this with his hardcore following in mind. Zack (Seth Rogen, Knocked Up) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks, Slither) have been longtime friends and housemates who, after their energy and H2O get close off, spin to publishing to compensate their bills. After convention a contented and maybe dimwitted expel and crew, the untimely span launch in to their asocial nonetheless heartwarming intrigue with enthusiasm, usually to discover–spoiler alert!–that they have feelings for each other. Smith obviously longed for to have a sex humerous entertainment with heart, something in the capillary of The 40 Year Old Virgin. Unfortunately, Zack and Miri Make a Porno combines the mawkish, formulaic tenderness of Jersey Girl with the belabored, formulaic sex gags of Clerks II. For a movie which obviously hearkens behind to Smith’s own practice creation the dear and archetypally cheap-and-dirty Clerks, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is sadly general and predictable. But Smith’s fanbase will conclude which the movie has snarky jokes about scholarship fiction, a great sip of unclothed breasts (and dual tangible porn stars, Traci Lords and Katie Morgan), and the schlubby guy/hot chicky energetic which drives a thousand sitcoms. –Bret Fetzer

I was never a fan of 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up, but i respected people’s opinions when they said that these movies were “funny”. This, on the other hand is beyond ridiculous, it’s a piece of garbage that left me wanting to burn the DVD after finishing it. I eventually did.
Seriously, skip it and never look back.

Avoid it like the plague. Although I’m a fan of Seth Rogen, this is a very un-funny, sappy attempt to write a film in the Judd Apatow vein. You’d be far better off sticking to Judd Apatow. I didn’t laugh once, but groaned and rolled my eyes plenty. One star.

Not funny, awhward, cringe inducing, Seth Rogan is repulsive and “miri” although funnier, can’t save this mess…I will NEVER see a Kevin Smith movie again.

Zack and Miri is by far the worst Kevin Smith movie of all time.
It’s so bad, it’s actually worth 10 minutes of my time to write about on Amazon.
I really hope Kevin Smith himself reads this review.
I’m a big Kevin Smith fan and have been since day one of clerks. When I saw this in the theater on opening night, I was actually embarrassed to be a associated with Smith and his writing as a fan!!! It’s THAT bad. Kevin Smith has finally become the worthless hack that he jokingly paints himself as in his Q and A lectures.
This is the first time in history that Smith’s raunchy vision and writing come across as
cringe inducing and just plain unfunny. It’s like he had a checklist of hackneyed Smith-isms and tried to pass it off as a film. Cock joke, poop joke, Star Wars reference, Mewes does something stupid, cock joke, poop joke, silly adolescent nick name come to surface, cock joke, Mewes does something stupid, Star Wars reference, main character gets jealous because of a sexual hang up, cock joke, roll credits!!!
Jersey Girl is a masterpiece compared to this! In fact, Zack and Miri SOOOO BAD that it’s not even worth the 700 mb of space for a free torrent download!! And this is coming from
an actual Smith fan!! That’s pretty friggin bad! Seriously, it’s not even worth a free download. Kevin Smith needs an official “you’re becoming a hack” intervention. Or maybe he already knows and just can’t stop it.
I have one question for Kevin Smith after watching his movies for half my life.
Here it goes: How come the main characters in your stories do nothing but think and talk the raunchiest stuff imaginable, only to freak out and get bent out of shape when a love interest ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING RAUNCHY!!!!!?? It’s like your characters are sexual posers!! In ALL Smith’s films when it comes to sex and raunch they can all talk the talk but they can’t walk the walk. Maybe this is done on purpose as some kind of subconscious catholic guilt garbage that Smith adheres to. It’s like Kevin Smith, the genius smut master of our generation, doesn’t really have a clue as to what it means to really be “kinky” and “sexually open minded”. Zack and Miri is the epitome of this.
After an ENTIRE plot of sex, porn and raunch, the story take a lame, sappy turn when she feels Zach slept with another women. ……AT THE WRAP PARTY OF A PORNO MOVIE!! I almost stormed out the theater. C’MON KEVIN SMITH, either your characters are open minded sexual freaks, or they are not. Pick one!! Arrrrgggg!!
In conclusion, I will no longer pay for a Kevin Smith movie in an actual theater or dvd rental/purchase, I’ll just wait for a free download.
Don’t get me wrong, I still am a “fan” of Kevin Smith, but Zack and Miri is death knell for his career and my hard earned cash on his stories.
