Zack and Miri Make a Porno Trailer

June 10th 2008 23:08
Zack and Miri make a Porno Seth Rogen Elizabeth Banks
Kevin Smith's upcoming comedy focuses on Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as two platonic friends who decide to make an amateur pornographic movie to make a little money.

"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" is the unfortunate name of this movie, which is guaranteed to be vulgar and as sexually disturbing as possible. It's a step in another direction from the films at the Sydney Film Festival, like "Help Me Eros", which is also a sex comedy, but with a layer of contemplation and an eye for aesthetics.

Still, those of us that grew up on crass humour hold a special place in our hearts for these types of movies. Even though I expect the movie to disappoint, especially in the last third of the story, once all the vulgarity has been used up and Smith is forced to hook the audience with something predictable. Or will this be surprisingly good? Personally, I don't have much faith in Rogen to go beyond swearing and talking about penises -especially since, when he does talk like a foul-mouthed sailor, his films make a lot of money.

Kevin Smith is definately one guy who does best when unleashing the 14 year old boy within himself!

Chasing Amy and Dogma are probably my two favourites though most of them are good juvenile fun - except for that most recent atrocity of course!!!

David, Smith's movies always contain a few moments of humour, but his later movies seem to stumble more often...

I am really disappointed by this. Kevin Smith used to be one of my favorites (emphasis on used to be)

Mis, I'm still hoping that it'll be surprisingly entertaining. Looks like it might walk a predictable line, though.
