Zack and Miri Make a Porno

No one could have mixed this mixture of porn, sharp and even sharper humor, pop culture references and romance better than Kevin Smith. Zack and Miri has a little bit of everything and that's a good thing. Highlights include a Star Wars porn parody, a scene with a guy who comes to get coffee even though the diner has long since closed, and a reunion of high school seniors years later. It's a pity that the film ends with a typical romantic cliché, but even Smith can't avoid that. Zack and Miri gets four stars from me because it entertained and (except for one disgusting thing - I simply hate fecal humor) didn't offend. (08/06/2010)

This comedic family suits me immensely, mainly because there are actors here that one knows from previous Smith's films. I don't really like Rogen much lately, but he is still bearable here. I don't like the romantic aspect, but otherwise the humor works very well. Some scenes are absolute gems and you can't get them out of your head. (03/23/2015)

This is the best romantic comedy the porn world has to offer! The self-projection also worked, so I laughed, I was touched, and I became a fan. That's the way it's supposed to be. Also, the word fuck is not serious, let alone immoral. :) A more commercial Smith? Come on... I've loved Traci Lords since Hercules. (08/26/2009)

One of my favorite Rogen films. In fact, it wasn’t Seth Rogen who entertained me the most in the movie but Craig Robinson. His character of a barista who is frustrated by his marriage is perfect and his lines just cracked me up: "Can't you see we talking, white?", " I just wanted to see some free titties." Kevin Smith uses all types of comedy again, including crass, but that’s what I’ve come to expect of him and I usually have a lot of fun, so I have zero objection to it. I was just a bit annoyed by the overly sweet romantic scenes. Thankfully, the Dutch rudder at the end saved me from diabetes. (01/05/2017)

How is it that in just a few moments of a single movie, Kevin Smith strikes the romantic chord in our hearts stronger than all of the Julia Robertses and Meg Ryans put together? And despite these moments being surrounded by jokes relating to blowjobs and cunnilingus? Kevin Smith is a light in the darkness of Hollywood artificiality. (04/28/2009)
