Zack and Miri Make A Porno

USA 2008



Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) have been platonic friends for years. When they both find themselves in financial hot water, they hit upon the idea of making an adult film to bring in some easy money. But when "action" is called, these two friends discover that unspoken feelings for each other may threaten the whole enterprise. Writer-director Kevin Smith helms this comic look at the line between friendship and romance.



I'm not a big Kevin Smith fan. His movies are hit or miss with me.
But personally he is a funny guy undeniably. His opening presentation speech
was so funny I really just wanted him to keep talking. I wasn't even stoned
and my face and stomach hurt. Once the movie started I wasn't really feeling the
humor. Standard cock and fart Smith humor, but once they reached the point of introducing Zack's(Rogen) work environment and friends it was literally almost non
stop hilarity. I real surprise and I recommend it highly to anyone who loves a movie that
is gratuitously funny. Not to mention the actual heartfelt undertone that is a romance.
Oh and Bill Pullman was in the audience. How cool is that?
He looked cowboyish...
Anyway, a comedic onslaught and a great pace.
