So I Watched Zack and Miri Make A Porno

Posted by: Danh In: Uncategorized

This is my second Seth Rogan film in about a few days (I saw the Pineapple Express earlier in the week) and I have concluded that too much Seth Rogan is NOT a bad thing.

The guy is hilarious, has the same kind of humor as I do and works with the top talents in Hollywood. I forget that ‘Zack and Miri’ is a Kevin Smith movie and I’m glad he didn’t show his fat face ala M. Night Shyamalan though his henchmen from his other movies such as Jason Mew (Jay) and Jeff Anderson (Randall) played supporting roles and did a good job convincing me that they can act as other characters.

What I liked: Elizabeth Banks. She’s attractive and funny and I hope to see her in more female lead parts. I hope success doesn’t get to her head and she does one of them Oscar movies. The movie was hilarious from the beginning to the end. I hope Smith make more movies like this than the disasters known as “Clerks 2″ and “Jersey Girl”.

What I hated: It was too damn short. I wish the story got more evolved and it felt like we got a cliff notes version of the script. The pacing was just too fast and when I wanted more, the movie was over.

Favorite Moments: Anything Jason Mewes. The guy is still hilarious and I would like to see him in more movies. Craig Robinson is growing on me, they really are leaching his fame from The Office. Sad.

Conclusion: It is what it is… two friends making a porno together and discovered they have more in common than living together as buddies. I give this movie 3-stars for good.

Well, I haven’t seen “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” yet, but it does look like it has potential.

However, I have seen “Pineapple Express” and have to say it sucks. Bad. Really bad. I mean, I got the feeling that the actors (like Seth Rogan) had some really great comedic potential but were severely hampered by the material. Or maybe it’s just that the stoner genre isn’t that funny to me.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to a cheap rental of “Zack and Miri.” Then again, IMDB rates both of these movies with the same 7.3 with similar numbers of voters, so maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up for this one either. ;-)

Thanks for the nice write-up, Danh — witty and informative as always. :-)

Thanks for that review. I’ve had that movie sitting here for 3 weeks debating whether to watch it or not. I’m kind of weird about silly movies, some I adore (Airplane, Python) and some leaves me cold (3 Stooges, Will Farrell) and I was afraid I’d regret seeing this.

Your comments make me think I’ll like it.
