Zack & Miri Make a Porno

2008, ***, R

Starring: Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Justin Long

Films today, sure aren’t like they were yesterday, especially when Mr. Rogen came on the scene. This film is of course crude, but it is definitely hilarious if you’re willing too look past all the ridiculous behavior. Today, most of us are just more accepting to the raunchiness of cinema – or should I say sex-ima.

Zack (Rogen, “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” “Superbad”) and Miri (Banks) have known each other forever, live together, are absolutely broke, their power and water is shut off, and they are about to go to their high school reunion. When Miri begins to seriously flirt with her high school crush, Zack simultaneously runs into the dude’s gay partner (cameo- Justin Long, “Jeepers Creepers,” “Accepted”) who happens to be in the gay porn industry in Hollywood. Zack then buts into Miri’s conversation and lets her know she is in love with a homosexual, and soon ponders the idea of making a porno to pay off their debts. Lets just put it this way – lights, camera, coffee shop! (They use the coffee shop where Zack works to film their raunch.) STARBUCKS EMPLOYEES- DON’T TRY THIS AFTER HOURS.

This film is outrageously funny from the start. The one-liners capture the silliness of the script, but they really work. This is purely a ridiculously dry-humor, black-on-white humor film, and dirty to boot, but if you’re in the mood for a Rogen film, you can’t go wrong. WARNING –NOT FOR CHILDREN. MAYBE NOT EVEN FOR ADULTS.
