Plots(1)
Kevin Smith directs this romantic comedy starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as lifelong platonic friends and roommates Zack and Miri. Facing hard times and a mountain of debt, they seize upon the idea of making a homegrown adult film in order to ease their cashflow problems, and enlist the help of their friends to carry out their plan. The two vow that having sex will not ruin their friendship - but as filming begins, what started out as a straightforward business proposition between friends turns into something much more complicated.

No one could have mixed this mixture of porn, sharp and even sharper humor, pop culture references and romance better than Kevin Smith. Zack and Miri has a little bit of everything and that's a good thing. Highlights include a Star Wars porn parody, a scene with a guy who comes to get coffee even though the diner has long since closed, and a reunion of high school seniors years later. It's a pity that the film ends with a typical romantic cliché, but even Smith can't avoid that. Zack and Miri gets four stars from me because it entertained and (except for one disgusting thing - I simply hate fecal humor) didn't offend.

Even porn is art, it just has to be appreciated. But otherwise, it's a "traditional" Kevin Smith romance that breathes on the back of Chasing Amy. It’s definitely not the weakest Smith film, just a little different, or maybe a little more commercial, but it’s still its own, honest, and above all funny. And Elizabeth Banks is an angel.

One of my favorite Rogen films. In fact, it wasn’t Seth Rogen who entertained me the most in the movie but Craig Robinson. His character of a barista who is frustrated by his marriage is perfect and his lines just cracked me up: "Can't you see we talking, white?", " I just wanted to see some free titties." Kevin Smith uses all types of comedy again, including crass, but that’s what I’ve come to expect of him and I usually have a lot of fun, so I have zero objection to it. I was just a bit annoyed by the overly sweet romantic scenes. Thankfully, the Dutch rudder at the end saved me from diabetes.

At last a movie where I would have welcomed a couple minutes more. This way, although it is sexy, titillating foreplay that stretches your every nerve to the maximum, the act itself is too short to be at all satisfying. In other words, no orgasm. But so what, a lame dip is a dip all the same and lame Smith movie is still a Smith movie. However, I will never forgive Kevin for the absence of Bod and Jay (although Mewes is in fact Jay in Lester’s skin).

This is the best romantic comedy the porn world has to offer! The self-projection also worked, so I laughed, I was touched, and I became a fan. That's the way it's supposed to be. Also, the word fuck is not serious, let alone immoral. :) A more commercial Smith? Come on... I've loved Traci Lords since Hercules.
