“Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is hilarious from start to finish. Kevin Smith wrote and directed this movie in his typical “Clerks” style. As with most Kevin Smith movies there is profanity and extreme humor involved. How do you make simulated porn funny? Smith manages it with the added bonus of a romance in the mix. If you aren’t generally offended by excessive nudity and profanity and appreciate great writing you’ll like this movie.

The basis of the movie is the romance between Zack and Miri, two friends who have known each other since they were kids and are faced with an extreme choice in order to get out of debt. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks have great chemistry together and a knack for line delivery. The entire cast is excellent filled with actors who know how to deliver comedy. Standout performances include Rogen, Banks, Mewes and Robinson. The screenplay is deadly funny. This movie, like “Clerks” and “Dogma”, is another Kevin Smith classic you will want to add to your movie library.

2008. Directed and written by Kevin Smith. Starring Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, Craig Robinson, Justin Long and Brandon Routh.
