Zack And Miri Make A Porno (Blu-ray)

For me, I am enjoying this new genre of films. This film, like forgetting Sarah Marshall, is really a rom com for boys. This, I guess, is aimed for people like myself, where the teen romp comedies like American Pie are beginning to feel a bit juvenile, but you want a comedy that is a bit saucy with some adult humour. That certainly describes this movie! As a Kevin Smith fan, I was hoping this would be good, and it certainly was. With such a controversial idea for the plot, the movie is actually quite mainstream in it's direction and ideas, unlike some of his previous efforts which had a much smaller/specialist target audience. However saying that, don't buy this if you are easily offended, with plenty of sex and toilet humour, it's not one for the kids :-)
I really enjoyed this movie, and as Seth Rogan is my long lost twin... (according to my friends anyway) I found this especially enjoyable!

After first viewing, Zack and Miri Make A Porno went straight to the top of my 'Best of 2008' list.

I'm a big fan of the amazingly talented Elizabeth Banks and have to admit to having an inappropriate crush on Seth Rogen, so it was always going to appeal, but I was more than pleasantly surprised by just how much I loved this film.

Rogen shines as a chubby, bearded amateur auteur who slowly comes to grips with his true feelings toward Miri when their shoestring production squeaks to completion. Banks charms as Zack's "just friends" roomie who agrees to screw him on-screen for the sake of their movie.

The supporting cast give inspired performances, especially Jason Mewes, who works weirdo magic as Lester, a tattooed sex freak who'll do anything on camera. Craig Robinson also rules as reluctant producer Delaney.

Zack and Miri is not a beautiful movie, smeared as it is with outdoor shots of icy streets and slush-covered suburbs. But the scene where Zack and Miri finally get together for the porno is shot beautifully by Kevin Smith - Elizabeth Banks seems to glow through the whole scene.

The extras on the Bluray disc are amazing and definitely make the film a value-for-money must buy. There is well over an hour of deleted scenes (including an amazing 'follow-up' scene with Zack and Miri); tons of bloopers and ad-libs; an amazing improv duel between Rogen and Justin Long (aka Brandon St. Randy!); plus many more extras.

Buy it, you won't regret it!

Zack played by Seth Rogen and Miri acted by Elizabeth Banks are flatmates who are both in debt. So they have this crazy brain wave to make an adult film to get them out of debt. Their first adult film which they started takes the micky out of Star Wars, which is really funny especially if you are a big Star Wars fan like myself. There are so many halarious moments in this movie and you know what type of humour to expect if you like the other movies Seth Rogen has acted in such as Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, Super Bad and 40 Year Old Virgin. Zack and Miri takes things to the next level and some people might find it offensive. Overall a very funny film that should not be missed, if you are a fan of any other Seth Rogen movies.

Good fun film, though the 18 classification I think it is more for the language content though (it's particularly ripe in places but in context funny) the subject matter may put some off. Don't let it though. This is in fact a reasonably touching (if non sensical, she is so hot and he is so not) rom com of a high order. Good belly laughs and some stand out moments. Good veiwing with freinds of a similar mind, get the popcorn, beer and chips in and enjoy! It's a keeper.

Laugh and laugh best comdy in a long time one of kevin smith's best films, great cast with seth rogen and co one to watch over and over
