Official trailer (NSFW)



I wonder if Prince will be going to see it.

i think im getting bored with these sorts of movies real quick

Seth Rogan is making the most of his time, I guess. It won't last!

exactly

This sorta movie is about 20 years too late.

but also Kevin Smith should really try branching out one day....or he should just stop making movies altogether

Seth can do no wrong. If you don't like him you're just stupid and can fuck right off.

Didn't Kevin try branching out with that movie with J Ho and Ben Affleck? You know, the one with the little girl? That felt like a family film a bit, and that time, Kevin was about 10 years too late to do a film centered around a little girl.

Who is this Seth bloke anyway? Bring back Chevy Chase!

well fuck you too!

This is why people you don't know on the internet love you...

I think it's interesting to take two generational-type movie-types and mash them together is pretty cool.

40 Year Old Virgin still makes me laugh as hard as Clerks. Neither has depth and that's why they're brilliant. The same pertains to most movies people go to for entertainment. You want depth, watch an art film or a documentry on whorehouses in India...

My personal favorite expression when I want to take my mind off of life for 90 minutes...

"What the director is saying with this scene is..."

Fuck.

JustErin said:

I like him, but watching this trailer, he suddenly seemed overexposed (no pun intended). I think his run will soon be coming to an end.

automatic said:

LOL!!! I predict this will do well at the box office, I love stupid comedies like this, you don't have to think too hard, just sit back and enjoy.

looks cute.

I have no idea who Seth Rogan is.

CarrieMpls said:

All you need to know is he's mine. I even recently dedicated a thread to him.

I'm going to see this!

kcwm said:

No.

I like his movies a lot. I'll be going to this one opening weekend, and same with "Red State" when it finally gets released which by the way is a horror flick, so he is branching out. Most of his movies relate to what his personal life is going through, so there's going to be some similar feeling to them. I'm guessing "Red State" doesn't reflect upon any of his real-life situations, though.

Kevin Smith!

I love Seth and I want to see his little weewie and his fat white ass.....


...did I type that outloud?

cuuuuute!

i love me some kevin smith. not the best director, but one fuck of a good writer.

seth rogan is kinda sexy but he seems to play
the same character in every movie. Plus he needs
to get rid of that fro now!

JustErin said:

Well said.

NDRU said:

I agree.I think he's okay as a supporting actor (such as "40 Year Old Virgin",which was hilarious) but I don't think he can carry a movie on his own.His humor wears thin very quickly.I hated 'Knocked Up'.

First Reviews from the First Screening!!! I can't wait to see it


Roger Ebert LOVED IT!!!

Some news from Roger Ebert's Sun-Times page today:

I think Kevin Smith has a hit on his hands. The bad boy director is here with "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," which contains no hard-core sex but is wall to wall with hard-core language. Smith begins with your basic four-letter words, and supplements them with an astonishing vocabulary and verbal images. The director of "Clerks" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" once told me he's a mediocre director but a great writer. Wrong. His films are not so much about his visual style as about words; he is a perfectly capable director who, as the author, respects his script.

The words in "Zack and Miri" are potty mouth taken to the buddy-movie version of Shakespeare. The audience was roaring with laughter at its sheer audacity and outrageousness. It's so lively, the movie was initially rated NC-17, but got an R on appeal. Then the plot pulls ahead like two engines on a short train. Seth Rogen, the emerging superstar of raunchy comedy, is Zack, whose best buddy is Miri (Elizabeth Banks). They've known each other since first grade, are roommates, have never had sex, are broke and can't pay the bills.

In desperation, they decide to make a porno film and enlist a mixed bag of cast and crew, including onetime porn star Traci Lords. Zack and Miri are co-producers and co-stars; will they have sex for the first time, out of duty to the movie? The answer to that question somehow creates a poignant love story in the midst of flying words and bodily fluids. Prediction: "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" will set box-office records if the audience is able to fasten its seat belts for the turbulence of the dialogue.

Non Spoilers - Dont read the full reviews.

Screen Daily

“Kevin Smith is back and Seth Rogen’s got ‘em. Or at least that’s how the ad copy should read for Smith’s libidinous rom-com, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. While Elizabeth Banks is ostensibly knocking about the premises as Rogen’s unexpected love interest, it is the cozy marriage of sensibilities between the director of Clerks and the co-writer/star of Superbad that gives this movie its particular go-for-the-groin, land-on-the-heart chemistry.”

(General minor spoilers regarding over-arching plot)

Dark Horizons

“Smith’s latest script crackles with verbal and visual hilarity, taking risks in some areas, yet showing his sensitive side as well. In essence, Zack and Miri is a film about relationships, sex, love, the way we depend on each other, and amidst the film’s often raw, unbridled comedy, this is a very emotive love story.”

(spoiler-free)

Cinemablend

“Kevin Smith is known for his smart, edgy dialogue and there’s plenty of his brilliant, wordy style on display in Zack and Miri. He’s combined that with a great cast, maybe the most talented he’s ever worked with, and the result is one of Smith’s funniest, dirtiest, most gleefully offensive movies to date. “

(a few small spoilers in central paragraphs)


This being the first true raunchy R-rated comedy from Kevin and View Askew that’s a departure from the Askewniverse, to hear it being received so well can’t help but bring a smile to our face and a feeling of pride — Kevin has treated this one differently from the start, and continues to do so with the low key marketing, letting the film speak for itself. And with this big debut, it seems to be talking itself up QUITE well. Congrats to Kevin, the cast, and the crew on what looks to be the breakout hit of the Fall. Spread the word, and tell everyone you know to look for this one next month.

Can't wait!

Horatio! I imagine you've never really watch "them" - what movies are you talking about?
C'mon, label "them" all together...
It's like saying "i think i'm getting bored with these type of prince albums real quick"
What the fuck does that mean????
Generally, people who say that have never zoned in on that particular subject, they just say that shit as a sweeping overview, completely ignorant of what the fuck they are talking about!!!
Congratulations! You've just become you're grandparents!!!
Sad?....
