Zack and Miri Make a Porno

The title of Kevin Smith’s new film tells it like it is. Two best friends, Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks), make an amateur porn flick to pay their bills. They turned an acting scene into lovemaking romance on camera. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is thin on the plot but thick on profanity and soft pornography. I lost track of how many times the F bomb is dropped in the movie, but I would estimate one every five minutes. Sure there were boobs and dicks whipped out on screen, but the real deal is in the amusing dialogues and the race jokes. While the porn-turned-romance concept is creative, the film turned wearisome, predictable and unconvincing trying to make the transition from sex to love.
