Starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is exactly that: two roommates who need money try to make a porno and hilarity ensues. There’s really nothing else in terms of the plot, except that the preview hints to the possibility Zack has buried feelings for Miri but that’s to be expected.
In the preview, we see Zack and Miri run into money problems, have their water, power, and heat cut off, decide to make a porno, and shoot some intro porno scenes. It doesn’t seem too exciting described here but, Kevin Smith writes and sets up hilarious lines and scenes and all the actors deliver. Seth Rogen has associated himself with nothing but hilarious productions in the past few years and to my surprise, Elizabeth Banks has carried herself well in this leading role.
Written and directed by Kevin Smith, the movie also includes Justin Long, Jason Mewes, and Craig Robinson from The Office. Fortunately and unfortunately, the movie is rated R. This will definitely mean more cutting edge humor that a PG-13 movie could not provide but also reach a smaller audience. This is a super amalgamation of Superbad, Knocked Up, and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Although a Kevin Smith movie, it seems to be missing the diatribes pervasive in his past movies and simply focus on maximizing the number of laughs per minute, a definite plus. There is no doubt this will be one of the funniest movies released this year.
