Miri (Elizabeth Banks) and Zack (Seth Rogen) are lifelong loser friends in the Pittsburgh outer burbs. They're broke and the water is shut off. At the high school reunion, Miri tries to hook up with school crush Bobby Long (Brandon Routh) but his gay boyfriend Brandon St. Randy (Justin Long) tells Zack that they're gay porn stars. A couple of teens secretly filmed Miri in her granny pantie and the video goes viral. Zack and a reluctant Miri agrees to make a porno with friends like Delaney (Craig Robinson) to make some money.
It's raunchy vulgarity going further than Apatow. Kevin Smith is trying to hit a narrow target of sweet rom-com and raunchy sex romp. The best parts are the great comic actors Banks, Rogen and the rest of the cast. Although, it's hard to see Banks as a loser. Maybe she needs to be smoking lots of pot to fit the role. Rogen fits the lovable loser role like a glove. There are some awkwardness with the subject matter although the porn video names are funny.
