Zack and Miri Make a Porno

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)

At last a movie where I would have welcomed a couple minutes more. This way, although it is sexy, titillating foreplay that stretches your every nerve to the maximum, the act itself is too short to be at all satisfying. In other words, no orgasm. But so what, a lame dip is a dip all the same and lame Smith movie is still a Smith movie. However, I will never forgive Kevin for the absence of Bod and Jay (although Mewes is in fact Jay in Lester’s skin). (12/09/2008)

Kevin Smith often walks a fine line of taste and intentionally provokes the mainstream in his films. However, those who enjoyed the slackers in his early comedies and were not offended by the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back will easily enjoy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, even though Smith is being provocative with the title alone. I like his humor and I am open to it, but in this case, I came across boundaries that somewhat spoiled my enjoyment of the film. Smith knows when to slow down and tone down a situation that threatens to become outright vulgar, but paradoxically, I am more bothered by the lack of chemistry between the main characters and, above all, their strange relationship. I am willing to believe many things, but I don't intend to believe in romantic lovemaking in front of the camera and a bunch of onlookers. While I consider Chasing Amy to be an excellent romance, where the relationship between the two partners is believable despite all the twists and bizarre situations, in this film, it is an artificial and purposeless construction with occasional sympathetic humor and exaggeration. Overall impression: 55%. (03/10/2011)

An average comedy, I can't see it any other way. Unfortunately, I don't like the kind of edgy humor that has you plumbing the depths of vulgarity and perversity, and overall Mr. Smith's sense of humor just doesn't suit me. There is a lack of intelligent wit and romance and as a drama I find it pretty worthless. (11/02/2010)
