All in all it's a modern-day, Kevin Smith fairytale: a big-screen bearing, perhaps, of his soul at its sincerest and wittiest, if not filthiest.
It's one thing for a movie to be dirty; it's another thing altogether for it to be plain sloppy.
Kevin Smith turns out to be reverent after all: he wants to separate true love from mere copulating for money, but his story mixes romance and porn so inextricably that he seems confused, and the movie trips over its own conceits.
Everyone on screen seems to be having so much fun.
Seth Rogen is totally out of control. He's been marvelously funny in the past, and will be again, but get that party animal back in his cage.
Zack and Miri isn't very funny. Laugh-out-loud bits here are as rare as real breasts in an adult film.
Smith's film is nothing more or less than a routine romantic comedy in an unaccustomed wrapper.
Kevin Smith's latest offering provides a constant stream of laughs throughout its duration, but crucially fails to nail the emotional realism it tries so hard to achieve.
Kevin Smith's ear for raunch is as piquant as ever, but he's moved beyond his usual unconvincing leads to Judd Apatow regulars Rogen and Craig Robinson.
Married, a father and pushing 40, Smith is no longer a trustworthy chronicler of 20-something slackers. He still can devise an impressively gamy set piece, but he's misplaced the humanity of his best work.
Kevin Smith has placed a black mark on an otherwise solid filmography by selling himself short in a bid to shock new viewers and win back old ones with Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
There are a number of gut-bustingly funny individual scenes, but the narrative as a whole lacks thematic cohesion.
Ainda que Smith continue a exibir sua compulsão em escrever diálogos que usam a escatologia e os palavrões como forma barata (e ineficaz) de humor, o filme é um grande avanço em relação aos seus três últimos péssimos trabalhos.
The raunchy moments in this movie is what make it good.
Zack and Miri may be a gross-out movie, but it's a damn clever one.
This explicit gross-out comedy is so scared of being too naughty, it seeks refuge in a very 'nice' love story. The result isn't funny or edgy.
While the jokes are admittedly very funny, they're constantly offset by a tumbling waterfall of schmaltz.
The most dirty-minded date movie of all time.
There remain some scatological touches I am still trying to forget. It's all done with great glee, yet falls far short of being hilarious.
A well-meaning, foul-mouthed misfire.
In a strangely perverse way -- and thanks to the solid performances of the two leads -- the love story of Zack and Miri is more touching than you might expect, given the film's grungy setting and essentially sordid theme.
An R-rated film which is rude, crude and disgusting-- and yet strangely sweet and sentimental.
It's crude and rude but there's something endearingly innocent about Kevin Smith's aptly titled comedy in which a dabble in porn becomes a mother of a funny set up
Doesn't represent much movement from where Smith had placed himself with Clerks II, which means what you felt about the previous should be about the same as what you'd feel about the latest.
