Zack and Miri Make a Porno

​Welcome to the second film not taking place in the View Askewaverse. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks play best friends who live together and have no money at all. Aw being poor, I know it well. The opening of the film shows them getting ready to go to work and we see Seth hurt his poor balls using a hand warmer. Who the hell would put that down their pants? It's pure insanity.

While this was Kevin Smith trying to make a stoner comedy that wasn't in the same vain of his other films. But it does feel very much like his other movies. In a good way. After all, who isn't a Kevin Smith films.

We see early on that Zack has feelings for Miri but that she just sees him as a friend. The two friends go to their 10 year reunion that for some reason takes place on Thanksgiving. Miri goes and hits on the man who she crushed on in high school. The man who would go on to play Superman and the Atom. He is the king of DC comics yo. She basically begs him to have sex with her when Zack shows up with Jason Long who turns out to be the guys boyfriend.

When they go home the power goes out and they don't know what to do. Zack comes up with the brilliant idea to make a porn. An idea that Miri has no interest in. Slowly over the night he talks her into it, even selling her on having sex with him in the movie. They hire Jeff Anderson to be the DP and get a cast together, including Jason Mewes. The rent a warehouse and have everything read for their new porn, Star Whores. The day they are set to start filming the warehouse is destroyed. All their equipment is destroyed as well. All seems lost until Zack finds out that his boss was recording them and he uses that camera and the store to make the porn.

Everything goes great until Zack and Miri have sex. In the midst of it they fall in love. It is the least sexy sex the world has ever seen but boy is it romantic. Miri felt it a bit more than Zack did and the two start to behave weird. They try to talk it out when the power comes back on. The cast and crew turned everything back on for them.

The night of the last shooting day comes and Zack and Miri get into it, fighting over the sex of it all. He moves out of the apartment and leaves the movie as well as the coffee stop. 3 months later Zack gets pulled in to take a look at the footage and realizes what he has known all along. What he even told Miri that last night, that he loves her.

He confesses to Miri that he never slept with anyone else. He tells her that he wants to be with her and she starts crying, so enter a naked Jason Mewes to ruin everything. Turns out he lives there and she changed rooms to smell him, creepy but romantic.

The movie is one of the stupidest funniest movies I've ever seen. Kevin Smith always kills it!
