Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Stay away, stay away, STAY AWAY!



In recent years, there have been several R rated comedies that were actually decent. I often site The 40 Year Old Virgin and The Wedding Crashers as raunchy comedies that are unexpectedly good. With this in mind, I decided to give Zack and Miri a try.


This film was written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) and stars Seth Rogen (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and Elizabeth Banks (40 Year Old Virgin).


Zack and Miri had all of the raunch (and then some) and none of the good qualities of the good aforementioned R-rated comedies. When you get past all of the sex-jokes, which seemed like hundreds, you are left with the most cliched storylines ever. The guy and girl fall in love (whodathunk?) and then have a misunderstanding and break up (gasp!). I won't tell you the ending, but I will tell you that it was a happy ending (so unexpected!).


I would not recommend this film to anyone except maybe huge Kevin Smith fans. Rogen and Banks fans will be disappointed, and porno fans will definitely be disappointed.
