Reviews for Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Zack and Miri may be a gross-out movie, but it's a damn clever one. Full Review |
||
 |
While the jokes are admittedly very funny, they're constantly offset by a tumbling waterfall of schmaltz. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
The most dirty-minded date movie of all time. Full Review |
||
|
|
There remain some scatological touches I am still trying to forget. It's all done with great glee, yet falls far short of being hilarious. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A well-meaning, foul-mouthed misfire. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
In a strangely perverse way -- and thanks to the solid performances of the two leads -- the love story of Zack and Miri is more touching than you might expect, given the film's grungy setting and essentially sordid theme. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
An R-rated film which is rude, crude and disgusting-- and yet strangely sweet and sentimental. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's crude and rude but there's something endearingly innocent about Kevin Smith's aptly titled comedy in which a dabble in porn becomes a mother of a funny set up Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
There are a number of gut-bustingly funny individual scenes, but the narrative as a whole lacks thematic cohesion. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Ainda que Smith continue a exibir sua compulsão em escrever diálogos que usam a escatologia e os palavrões como forma barata (e ineficaz) de humor, o filme é um grande avanço em relação aos seus três últimos péssimos trabalhos.

This explicit gross-out comedy is so scared of being too naughty, it seeks refuge in a very 'nice' love story. The result isn't funny or edgy. Full Review |
||
|
7/10 |
Doesn't represent much movement from where Smith had placed himself with Clerks II, which means what you felt about the previous should be about the same as what you'd feel about the latest. Full Review |
||
|
|
Two porn stars and true romance on their, well, first date on camera, and a stud geek worried about man boobs. Kevin and Seth make a porno that may be too hardcore for the sexually squeamish and too mushy for porniacs. Full Review |
||
|
B+ |
Enough major jokes that land that I recommend it for anybody who's not turned off by the premise. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
For all his slacker street cred, [Smith] is at heart a romantic, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno may be the most romantic film Smith has ever made. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Always likable even if it isn't always inspired. Full Review |
||
|
8/10 |
Kevin Smith sees homemade porn as the end of the empire. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
A surprisingly sweet film from Kevin Smith. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
The likable lead actors somehow make the unconvincing premise and occasionally gruesome 'frankness' work. Full Review |
||
|
|
The movie makes a cleverish joke about the promise of porn, the promise that it tells the truth. Full Review |
