Zack and Miri make a Porno
Yes, that really is the title of this Seth Rogen/Elizabeth Banks comedy written and directed by Kevin Smith. When platonic roommates can't pay their rent and utilities, they develop a sure-fired, get-rich-quick scheme. Of course, things go terribly wrong, but awfully funny. This film could inspire a surge in amateur home movies for private viewing. Banks and Rogen are a lovable pair which makes this movie work. There are also some great side characters including Superman, the Mac Guy, and an ex-porn star. It’s raunchy. It's gross. It’s hilarious. And it's a love story too. Of course, it’s rated "R" for obvious reasons, language, and nudity. It’s not a great film, but a great guilty pleasure. Stay through the credits for the special NR Productions trailer.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "poking fun at porn" stars out of 4.
