Absolutely Fantastic

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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!

The movie might be crude, immature, and pretty low-brow, but at the end of the day, I still love it. Much like "Beerfest", there's just something about this movie that appeals to me. Even though it's about making a porno, the jokes are spot-on, the characters are funny, and the movie's not just about a bunch of sex jokes. I'm starting to realize that when it comes to Seth Rogen, his sense of humor and delivery are very real. It doesn't feel like he's just a character, it feels like those are his actual responses to situations. The movie also does a hilarious job of spoofing the porn industry. Ridiculous dialogue, people who want to have sex all the time, and it doesn't take itself too serious. And I'm not bashing porn at all, I love porn, sometimes I even respect porn. What? I can imagine always having to perform and get everything right, as well make it look like your having a good time, and keeping yourself in shape to perform is stressful. And that goes for both hardcore and softcore. I wonder if there's like a documentary or something that goes behind the scenes of porn and shows all that goes into making it a success? I'm sure there is, and if so, I'd love to watch it. Also, this is the only movie I can watch with Justin Long in it, imagine that.

This formulaic movie starts out as a light comedy but soon descends into a long, boring analysis of relationships, a bit like the disappointing 'Chef'. Two friends decide to have sex for the sake of making a porno, but surprise, surprise, find this alters the dynamic of their friendship. The idea was to become friends with (business) benefits, but instead they become more like a couple of jealous 16 year olds. At this stage any normal male would be lost as the film enters non-comedic, juvenile chick-flick territory. As for the movie being 'dirty', if you like loads of excrement then yes, its 'dirty.' In fact the overall message of the movie is anti-pornography, so if you're looking for titillation, look elsewhere.

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.
