ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO (2008)

Disclaimer- No, it’s not usual porn/sex comedy if that’s what you are looking for.

Zack & Miri are in live in relationship, struggling to survive with their pissed off jobs & unpaid bills in a lower rented apartment with all due course of sharing everything except sex. The life is really giving them enough pain in the ass but hey still they are not indulging in sex with each other simply because they don’t want to complicate their relations with sex. As one by one water & electricity got cut off, they are under severe money crisis. They have two choices to make quick money- prostitution or pornography. They go for the second one & from here onwards movie is on for hilarious situational moments of awesome adult fun. Almost every dialogue is full of F-word but they are just coolest & funniest ones for ears. Right from getting finance, casting auditions & shooting a film, every thing is just zany fun ride. It’s during the making shoot their own sex scene they both explored their mutual love which they unable to decipher. So, porn clicks. ‘Porno’ is in fact a pun used for ‘Love” in the title of the film.
Seth Rogen has done funniest lewd & loud act again. Elizabeth Banks as Miri has given a nuanced performance maintaining the dignity of love in the porn world & she is lovable too whom you don’t want to see naked in a role like this. Craig Robinson has done strong supportive role as Delaney here. The movie is written & directed by Kevin Smith known famous for comedies like this. This is my 1st Kevin Smith flick & am looking forward for his other good ones too.

Fun is guaranteed only if you don’t consider it loud enough to suit your taste. So sophisticated comedy lovers stay away.

Ratings- 7/10
