To me, this movie is perfection.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
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
Ah the good ole days. Kevin's strength is his dialogue. A very funny, laugh out loud, politically incorrect movie. Two people just talking without censors. Death to censorship! Come on Kevin make more of these gems!
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
Director Kevin Smith makes a slacker buddy porn comedy in Zack and Miri make a Porno. Zack and Miri are good friends living in a run down flat and not having enough money to pay the rent and bills and decide to make a porn film to roll in the cash, an idea they got after they met a former school friend at a High School reunion who revealed he was a gay porn star.Smith makes the film rude and crude but deep inside is a sweet love story as Zack and Miri find out that they have a romantic tingling for each other which is more than just sex for the camera.The film is amusing enough helped by the good chemistry between Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen although the film is prudish showing nude scenes with Banks. Craig Robinson provides amusing support. There are enough pop culture references and Smith regulars popping up to keep his fans happy.
