Zack and Miri Make A Porno

Zack and Miri Make A Porno

I was busy on Halloween so I didn't get to see this until Saturday. It was as funny as I expected. Given the title, it's not for everybody. If you're a fan of Kevin's previous films or Judd Apatow's recent work, you'll probably enjoy this. The entire cast really shines. I would have to say that Craig Robinson stole the show for me and Jason Mewes was really funny in his first non-Jay role for Kevin.

In the end, yeah, this is a raunchy comedy but like Kevin's other movies there is a little something more going on. It's a sweet love story as well. As always, the soundtrack is top notch. I was especially impressed with Kevin's selection of tracks from 1998 to accompany Zack and Miri's ten year reunion. Setting the movie in Pittsburgh was a great choice and provides a different look than the rest of Kevin's films, which are primarily set in New Jersey.

While I'm bummed I didn't get the chance to make my onscreen debut as an extra in this movie I have to give props to a few of my friends who did. My friends Josh and Gavin can be seen quite well in the background of the main reunion scene. That's all I'll say because I don't want to spoil it. I don't know what else to say about this movie because many will think my opinion is biased. I'll just say again that it was funny and sweet and I'll definitely be seeing it again.
