Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Kevin Smith who wrote and directed this, he's made some hit and miss comedies over the years, he's a great writer, he's made some extremely memorable films and characters. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is one of his good, but forgettable films though. Don't get me wrong, this is a very funny movie, it has some great moments, mostly at the beginning though, where as Justin Long just steals the show and you definitely want more of his character in the story. But there are some jokes that just completely gross me out, now I love Kevin Smith, but it seems as if he is now trying to compete with the Apatow clan, because it had that feel to it, only with more gross jokes. I'm sorry, but someone getting feces on them... it's just disgusting and really threw me off for the rest of the film. But Kevin still wrote a decent script that is good for a few laughs.
Zack and Miri have been best friends since grade school, they're roommates now and are struggling like crazy to pay their bills. After attending their high school reunion, they meet the former quarterback stud and his boyfriend to find out they make and distribute their own porno's and make very good money at it. So Zack and Miri come on board as well, they're going to make a cheap porno with a group of friends and amateur porn stars. After constant games of who has feelings for who, Zack and Miri realize there might be more there than just a friendship as well.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a good comedy, I loved the scene where they are shooting their first take, right in the middle of the sex that is taking place in a coffee shop, a drunk as heck customer walks in and just makes it more awkward than it already is. There are some other great scenes in here, while the film has it's really gross jokes and the story is nothing original when it comes to the friends becoming lovers, it was still a fun movie to watch. I just feel like this isn's Kevin Smith's strongest film, but it's worth the ticket price if you're looking for a few laughs, just take the title into consideration if you're thinking about seeing this.
7/10
