It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I don't know how objective I'm capable to be when it comes to Kevin Smith movies, but to me this was awesome. Essentially, this is classic romance comedy, but wrapped in completely unusual package. Politically incorrect, vulgar, perverse, and most of all fun. I'm sorry I didn't see it back when it was released, cause I would know it by heart by now. Roommates and best friends since childhood, Zack and Miri, have seemingly hopeless financial troubles, so they decide to get back on their feet by making a porno. If I still didn't persuade you to see this flick, I will just say that lead roles in their porno, beside of course themselves, play Jason Mewes, Katie Morgan and Traci Lords. Now, if you have no idea who are at least some of the legends I mentioned above, then you shouldn't watch this movie and feel free to continue living under your puritan rock. :P9/10
This movie have good actors and actress, well written, good comedy, and good acting. Now I'm not saying this is perfect but it's enjoyable as fans of Seth Rogan. Overall this movie is good. Criag Robertson is also good too I forgot to mention.Score: 8.5/10
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.
I wanted to see it when it came out in 2008, alas I was 16 and too young. Now that I have seen it, for a good year it became the perfect background noise movie for when I was drawing.It's far from Kevin Smith's best work, but it was extremely funny. The level of profanity never really bothered me, and the totally gross-out moments here and there had me in tears of laughter. True the comparisons between this and a Judd Apatow movie can definitely be seen, even both leading actors were in "The 40 year old Virgin" (2005). Regardless, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks pull out great comedic performances in another surprisingly good meaningful sex comedy.Final Verdict: Really awesome and warm spirited. 7/10.
