Kevin Smith mixes sex and sweetness in Zack and Miri Make a Porno (The Weinstein Company)
By Jason Lacsamana
Zack and Miri Make A Comedy -- That title seems more fitting to this film. Zack and Miri Make A Porno (opening October 31 throughout San Diego) was one of the funniest films I've seen this year. The film features two best friends living together through tough economic times. Zack Brown (Seth Rogan) suggests making a porno to Miri Linky (Elizabeth Banks) as a solution to their financial woes. Soon enough this suggestion turns into a fun filled and sex filled adventure to stardom.
I found this film to be ridiculously funny. Seth Rogan played his role marvelously along with the rest of the cast. Many in the cast are unknown actors and actresses but they were still wonderful. There are so many funny scenes in this movie I thought I was going die from laughing so much. The storyline was very well written and the movie was very well produced and directed by the same person, Kevin Smith. This film set a whole new standard for movies, I think it really earned its R rating. While a lot of the film is comedy and sex, there are also serious and romantic moments as well. This movie has just about everything from drama to sex to getting shot below the belt to shooting (filming) below the belt.
If you liked other movies with Seth Rogan -- such as Superbad or Pineapple Express -- then you'll love Zack and Miri Make a Porno .
