Review of Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) by Matthew P — 14 Aug 2013
Kevin Smith attempts to work out his obsession with sex in Zack and Miri Make a Porno. When roommates Zack and Miri find themselves hopelessly in debt they resort to making a porno in order to get the money that they need.
The casting's very good, and includes Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Craig Robinson, Jeff Anderson, and Jason Mewes, but they have little to work with. The writing is exceptionally poor, and is more concerned with crass, obscene humor than storytelling.
Smith tries to work in some heartfelt moments, but they feel contrived. Unfortunately Kevin Smith appears to have nothing left to say as a filmmaker, and has reverted to raunchy, infantile sex jokes; as exemplified by Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
