Wow. I needed this. As a viewer of cinema, I occasionally laugh. Most times I guffaw or chuckle nearly audibly in my belly.

So when I saw I laughed out loud like a someone at a Robin Williams standup show...I am only slightly exaggerating.

I will admit at times I am biased towards the work of View Askew Productions and the master of his universe Kevin Smith.

Jason Mewes is a friggin phenom. Holly crap if I had only seen him in this and not as Jay, I would be like, "woah, this guy is nutz, and also strangely intune with sh*t."

Ok, that stuff aside, in reality, this movie bangs. Like throw her over the couch and the house starts rocking bangs. Its humor is straight on the nose, like that scene with the camera shooting up...SO Frelling Funny.

I enjoy the meta easter eggs and just callouts to stuff that fans notice. sometimes its subtle as hell, usually with Smith it isn't. wont go into details as I was laughing too often and too hard to catch most of em.

I'm a fan of emotional films apparently. I didn't hate jersey girl. I actually like it and most of Smith's films. Dogma is one of my favorites. I did purchase Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back on release. So when I say this is a good film, it very well could be a bias for the director and his cast of regulars, but I would surmise and say its not.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno is great film. It hits on all 12 cylinders, with an occasional pop or misfire here or there, but rebounds almost immediately.

I had to poo during the film and as I was so invested I am still sitting here writing this review, my eyes still might be a little wet from the chickflick moments...or maybe its because I still have to poo.

Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks are incredible. The chemistry between them really makes the film work. i feel like any mismatch could have been a copout. The subject matter is tame by comparison but making fun of all the porn spoofs and that Star Whores actually had me wanting to watch it just because the interpretation was hilarious.

and I could keep going on and on, but one last shoutout. The man who made me laugh the most in this, the one the only Craig Robinson. His dynamic with his wife was absolutely genius. That whole back and forth throughout the film worked, more than worked, it really clinched his character as the disgruntled married man that gets no action and really just wants some new titties to look at...

5 stars, 3 Thumbs up and I will definitely be adding this to my collection of askew films.

Yes, I didnt watch this when it came out. Dont ask me why. No idea. I watched it today, and I immediately downloaded my thoughts to this tiny box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, but also crude and not for the easily offended

I had the luxury of seeing this film on the big screen with a friend. Having seen reviews we knew to expect it to be funny, but also that it would be crude. It was that and more.

Be aware that like many of Judd Apatow's films Zack and Miri includes 'bonus' full frontal footage (male, full frontal footage that is) to add to the humor and/or shock value. Expect at least a couple of those type scenes and don't say you weren't forewarned before watching the film.

Once past that issue, viewers should also be aware that there's one scene that isn't for those with a weak stomach. It's quite funny, but also incredibly crude and honestly surprised me that it made it past the MPAA on the way to the R rating that the film carried when it was aired in theatres. You'll likely find it nearly impossible not to laugh, but it's also going to be something you'll want to turn away from. Note that I don't want to spoil the film or the scene, but you'll be able to see what's coming and can probably figure out in advance what I'm referring to so you should also be able to be prepared.

The film itself is not just funny and crude (and lewd as well), it's also, as promised on the quote from Time magazine critic Richard Corliss on the cover art for the Blu-ray disc "Sweet, Funny and Sexy." While writer/director Kevin Smith was obviously going for cheap humor, he opted to wrap it up nicely in a sweet tale of two down on their luck friends. Thanks to a very funny supporting cast, everything works pretty well and makes the end result a film that should crack you up.

What isn't included on the Blu-ray, unfortunately, is a commentary from the director. Smith decided not to do a commentary track for the current release of the film. Whether one will be done in the future likely depends on sales of the film on disc as well as whether or not Smith ever finds time to go back and record it. Even without a commentary track the film includes a substantial load of special features including a making of featurette, a large number of deleted scenes, outtakes and other fun stuff.

The video quality is very good. Not necessarily what technophiles would label as reference quality, but still very good. Kevin Smith's films don't necessarily live or die by their cinematography, but it also couldn't be said that he doesn't care about such things either. Knowing that Smith's films are more about the dialoge and character interactions, you might expect the video to be apparently less important, but that really isn't the case here.

Sound quality on the Blu-ray has raised some concerns for some viewers. I've seen complaints that the audio levels are low requiring some viewers to crank the volume a bit so as not to miss the dialogue. That's very much a your mileage may vary type thing as the results on different sound setups vary. Just be aware you may find yourself cranking the volume a bit more for this disc than you might normally do.

One final complaint that may come up - depending upon where you buy your copy of this disc you may find that you get different cover art than you see at other outlets. Some retailers are using different cover art that somewhat censors the packaging. Something about the use of the P word makes some retailers nervous. :-p

Kevin Smith fans probably long ago considered this must buy material. Non-fans may be reading the reviews (like this one) to help make up their mind. Again, I'd caution that you should know going in that it is crude and lewd, but as long as you aren't easily offended you might find it quite funny. For me it's definitely worth the purchase.

I loved this film and found it hilarious. Many here are reviewing this based on previous writer/director Kevin Smith films. I have seen many of his films but did not see this due to being a huge fan of his. I watched it instead due to the cast. Two of my very favorites Seth Rogen and Justin Long are in it. I have gotten to the point that I love anything Seth Rogen does. This film comes across to me more like an independant film and I loved the characters of Zack and Miri. Seth Rogen proves to be hilarious, witty and endearing here while Elizabeth Banks gives us a very goofy, lovable Miri. The film starts off great as we follow these two down on their luck best friends just going through life expecting little. Till there high school reunion that is. Here we meet Justin Long who steals the entire film as a gay porn star. His character puts ideas in Zack's head and when he and Miri find all their utilities being shut off and no money left they decide to guess what - MAKE A PORN!! The story that ensues is very funny, believable and unique. All the characters are memorable and the motley crew they put together for the porn bond perfectly and a happy family is formed. The story may be simple and not very deep but all the characters are spot on and the cast is superb. Traci Lords adds her always unique touch as do Jason Mewes and Craig Robinson.

This movie made me laugh and made me very happy. That is what a good film does. I had to buy it and add it to my collection. The blu ray version has excellent video and superb audio. This comedy goes to the top of my list. Maybe it isn't for all Kevin Smith fans but for me it met all my needs. I highly recommend this movie. Time spent with these characters is well worth it.

This may be a foul-mouthed movie with an Apatowesque cast and a bunch of dick and fart jokes, but don't let it fool you, it is the best rom-com made for men that there ever was. It is hilarious and compassionate. If you like raunchy humour or you like romantic comedies or a little bit of both, this movie is for you.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a very good choice for you if you like Kevin Smith. It has his sense of humour branded throughout the film, especially with the cast inclusion of Jason Mewes. Seth Rogen holds his own as the lead (I want to say the romantic lead, but in a film with this plot line, that might be a bit of a stretch!), and Elizabeth Banks shines as Miri.

The supporting cast combine with the leads to provide laughs per minute, and I for one can watch this film over and over again without it losing any of its charm.

The DVD extras are entertaining and informative, with a documentary revealing how each cast member was chosen, as well as numerous other features. And a word to the wise, when the credits start to roll, don't turn the DVD off or navigate away, there is a very funny easter egg half way through the credits that is definitely worth a look!

While Zack and Miri could never really be labelled as an intelligent comedy, and it definitely has moments that make you cringe, the end result is an entertaining romp that is easy to watch and will inevitably make you laugh, sometimes where you weren't expecting to.

The soundtrack is also very good, although possibly the greatest song in the entire film is missing from the CD of it (and I'm not sure if it features in the film credits or not): Live, Hold Me Up. If you've seen the film, you know the song to which I am referring.

I suppose my overall point is that while this film may not be everyone's cup of tea, the plotline and cast definitely help to make it a very funny and generally entertaining film, and the DVD extras definitely make this DVD a very worthwhile purchase and good value for money. You won't regret it!
