2.5/4  Raunchy Adult Comedy 'Screwed' By Love
Definetly not the best Smith movie. That's for sure. If only it took place in his viewaskewuniverse, I might have appreciated it more. No regular characters, but a couple of his regular actors appear. A couple jokes here and there definetl... (read full)

2/4  Zack and Miri...who cares
I've seen all Kevin Smith's films, so why stop now? I definitely never would have never seen this film had it not the "Smith" name on it. Anyway, it has a few laughs, but it's childish. I've grown up, so why won't Kevin Smith? DUDE! Seriou... (read full)

3/4  K-Smith (minus Jay&Bob) is Great!
If you're a fan of Kevin Smith or Judd Apatow, then this one is a no-brainer. Some may catagorize this as a Romantic comedy, because of the fact that our main characters end up in love, but don't let that make you shy away from this very ... (read full)

3.5/4  Not as raunchy as the title suggests
Kevin Smith has fashioned a hilariously raunchy, but good-hearted comedy with immensely likable characters. It feels like a hybrid of Kevin Smith/Judd Apatow (with many appearances from Apatow regulars) which makes it score a bullseye. F... (read full)

3.5/4  ROFL
The funniest movie of 2008. Finally a comedy as good as Superbad and Juno. Easily one of the best movies of the year. The movie had the many unexpected, and scenes that were just plane wrong -- which was the best part. The dialog was witty... (read full)

2.5/4  Zack and Miri Make a Porno Quick Review
I am pretty sure that Jud Apatow wrote this. This is exactly like his movies. This is nothing like a Kevin Smith film, including the cast. Give it up Kevin, you are done. Quit copying the success of others. Funny movie, really lame plot.

3/5 Sporadically funny
  by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:

The first half an hour or so of Zack and Miri Make a Porno (particularly the High School reunion scene) is often quite funny but soon the movie falls into Knocked Up mode, so desperate to cling to a formulaic romantic plot that it forgets to be a comedy too; even fans of Kevin Smith are likely to be disappointed in the mixed bag of a film.

2.5/4

5/5 HOW TO RECEIVE SPECIFIC ITEMS FAST AND CHEAP.

ORDERED THIS DVD ON A RECOMMENDATION - HAVEN'T SEEN YET, BUT RECEIVED IT QUICKLY AND INTACT - THANKS

3/5 A VERY STRANGE MIX OF SWEET AND SOUR!
  by ! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
After watching 'My Best Friend's Girl', I expected this film to be really funny. With a cast like this it's pretty hard to fail, but in some ways...it does. The mix of raunchy and romance is really a little jarring at times and the whole porno movie thing is really just a backdrop for a routine romantic comedy with a lot of profanity. It's a shame because I would have liked this film to continue on after the porno was made. It's not a bad film, but I expected more from this crew. The DVD transfer is excellent and the 2 disc edition has some interesting extras.

4/5 Hmmm... so that's what Jason Mewes looks like naked.
  by C. R. Swanson (Phoenix)
Porn has gone mainstream! Twenty years ago it was something quiet and shameful; relegated to curtained-off areas of your local non-chain video store. Before that, all there was were creepy little theatres showing such epics as "Behind the Green Door", and "Deep Throat".

Now, though, it's so mainstream it seems like anyone can do it, and that's the thrust, as it were, of "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", or, as it says on the box where I bought it, "Zack and Miri", cause the retailer is willing to make money off it, but they don't want to risk offending anyone who might see the word "porno".

And make no mistake; this is a potentially very offensive movie. It's also incredibly hilarious, and one of Kevin Smith's best!

The plot centers around Zack and Miri, two people in their late-twenties who are desperate for money. They've lost their power, they've lost their water and they're facing eviction. What ever are they to do?

Then they come up with an idea: make a porno. Not just any porno, mind you, but "Star Whores", a geekfest porno, featuring all the action geeks think they might like to some day see. Events spiral from there, plans get changed, the movie gets changed, and there's a lot of nudity and gross-out humor.

I must say, I laughed my backside off at this film. It's like all the best of a Kevin Smith movie mixed with some of Apatow's better works. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn hilarious! I never laughed so hard as I did when I saw someone get their cake frosted, as it were. Sure, it was predictable, but still great. Plus, hey, as I said in the title, if you've ever wanted to see Jason Mewes naked, now you can.

I'm glad to see that Kevin Smith is branching out beyond the View Askewniverse. He's got some real talent and it's nice to see him display that here. This movie isn't for everyone, but fans of his previous work, as well as movies like "Superbad" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" will likely have a great time!
