I love Kevin Smith. I really do. I've even watched his 2-disc dvd movie of him doing nothing but talking at colleges. He's a funny guy. I LOVE Clerks. I even admit to really enjoying Mallrats. Chasing Amy was kind of blah, but compared to Jersey Girl, it was amazing. Jay and Silent Bob strike back was entertaining, but not really that good. So basically, Kevin Smith's films are gradually decreasing in value. I was really hoping that pairing Kevin Smith with the star of of Knocked Up would actually produce something worth watching. I was wrong.
Okay, so Zach (Seth Rogan) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are WAY behind on their bills. So they come up with the idea to make a porno (starring themselves) to make rent money. So they gather some people (picture below) and go about making probably the worst porn movie ever.
Things I liked about this movie:
-Darryl from The Office is in it.
-Miri crochets! I am a geek and I actually noticed this because I crochet, but the scarves, hats, blankets, shaws, were all hand crocheted. I want half of those scarves that Miri wears.
-Jason Mewes. I really enjoy him. The guy really just plays himself more than any character, but he's good at playing himself and he's funny.
-The scene were Zach tries to play a delivery man in the porno is hilarious.
Things I Did Not Like About This Movie:-What movies like Knocked Up and Superbad had that this one didn't was restraint. Those movies were definitely not for the easily offended, but Zach and Miri was borderline uncomfortable to watch at times.
-Using slang words for the male anatomy ceases to be funny by the 50th time. There should actually be a joke. Just the word isn't funny unless you're 12.
Anyways, it wasn't all bad, but it wasn't up to par to early Kevin Smith films OR the Judd Apatow comedies that Seth Rogan usually stars in. I laughed, I cringed, but I don't think I will be adding Zach and Miri to my dvd collection.
