If you have seen a Kevin Smith movie, you know what to expect from this Zack and Miri Make A Porno. It will have tons of sex jokes and unbelievably bad language. Jason Mewes will be crazy (in this case, crazy and naked.) The plot will revolve around a working class guy (and possibly gal) who takes for granted the great relationship staring them in the face. The only question is whether they will screw it up or not.
This one is a comedy so you can guess how it will turn out. Seth Rogen is sad sack Zack and Elizabeth Banks is Miri Linky (formerly called Stinky Linky). Best friends and roomates, they are always a step away from eviction. When things get really bad, they decide to film a porno. With a group of similar outcasts, including a character played by Traci Lords, they decide to film a porn film. Will Zack and Miri realize what they have in each other? Again, fairly obvious, but still cute.
Best parts of course are the over the top jokes, like Justin Long as a gay porn star who likes to talk about his work. If sex jokes make you uncomfortable, stay far away from this one. If you do watch, enjoy the Pixies on the soundtrack and wait for the bonus scene after the credits.

Hey!
I just watched this yesterday, and thought, god, when he's on top of his game, I do love Kevin Smith. His writing is so foul and so funny that I actually laughed so hard I started coughing at many points, and I hardly ever do that.
How on earth did he make a movie about shooting homemade porn, with some of the least subtle language ever (dutch rudder, anyone?) and make it GENTLE? Unbelievable. And Elizabeth Banks is the most underrated actress in Hollywood, IMHO.
Also: it clocked in right around 95minutes. Perfect. Judd Apatow should take a lesson from that.
Yes! I loved Elizabeth Banks as well, here's hoping she gets more roles.
Gentle is just the word for the movies, also sweet. Dutch rudder, oh my, that was really something.
And what about the double dutch rudder! Ha. Although I am not a Seth Rogen fan, I have to give him credit for getting that line out with a straight face: "And a dutch rudder is...?"
I mean seriously, if one person gets the Dutch rudder, shouldn't the other? Only seems fair.
I liked him for the most part in this movie. Also enjoyed him in Pineapple Express.
