Consensus: Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a modest success for Kevin Smith, due in large part to the charm of Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
Theatrical Release: Oct 31, 2008 Wide
Box Office: $26,465,482
Synopsis: As its explicit title suggests, Kevin Smith's ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO is a foul-mouthed and filthy film that probably isn't fit for the very young, the very old, or the easily offended. But for those who enjoy Smith's brand of humor, this... [More]

Reviews for Zack and Miri Make a Porno
The likable lead actors somehow make the unconvincing premise and occasionally gruesome 'frankness' work.

The movie makes a cleverish joke about the promise of porn, the promise that it tells the truth.
11/14/08
Smith may have pioneered this kind of upfront sex chat, but the Apatow team refined it. ‘Zack and Miri’ feels uncomfortably like a gruesome game of filth-talk oneupmanship, and it’s hard to care who comes out on top.
11/14/08
A film as much about friendship as it is about sex, it's like he's teaching his fans how to grow up gracefully.
11/14/08
This is the most soppy and unsexy 18-certificate skin-flick ever made.
11/14/08
This is a very ordinary comedy script, and the presence of Smith's trusty repertory players in minor roles makes this for fans only.
11/14/08
The only problem is that hardcore action and a touchy-feely love story do not the best bed-fellows make and the final reel ill-advisedly juxtaposes an over-sweetened romance with a gross-out gag that will having you gulping for clean air.

If you are broad minded, or are in the right mood for some naughty silliness, then you should find this film as entertaining as I did.
11/14/08
The only 21st-century aspects of it are the unfunnily vulgar references to sexual and bodily functions along with several hundred uses of the F-word, which those who adore Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross may find a thousand times less wearisome than I did
11/14/08
What I should add is that it's the funniest one I have seen in ages. And while it does feature an awful lot of swearing and cheerfully bad taste comic moments, it is also engagingly sentimental and sweetly romantic.
11/14/08
There are a couple of laugh-out-loud moments but messy direction means this X-rated romcom should stay under the counter.
11/14/08
I won’t spoil the twist by revealing it, though you may not want to spoil the film by sitting through it. My suggestion, not wholly frivolous: see the first hour, then go to the pub.

Rogen does his man-child-slob shtick dependably, and Elizabeth Banks is a good sport as well as a decent comedian. One only wishes that the whole thing were funnier.
11/14/08
Crude, hilarious, if a little corny, Smith's latest hardcore comedy is right on the money shot.
11/14/08
If this is part of our comedy culture, there’s definitely something wrong somewhere.

Smartly directed, superbly acted and frequently hilarious comedy – this is Kevin Smith's best film since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Two porn stars and true romance on their, well, first date on camera, and a stud geek worried about man boobs. Not for the sexually squeamish and too mushy for porniacs, this carnal coffeehouse comedy may not amount to a hill of beans for either.
