Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Kevin Smith's latest flick Zack and Miri Make a Porno is going to make October 31st (its release date) the day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. It will overshadow Halloween. In fact, it will blow it out of the water as the opening of this film is going to be so monumental that in the future, only historians with the weirdest, most obscure areas of interest will be able to tell you that October 31st was anything but "Zack and Miri" day.

Even then they'll doubt themselves when they dig up ancient photos of Halloween, because all the girls in slutty outfits will simply resemble extras in the epic porno that Zack and Miri made.

Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are platonic friends that need to come up with some money to pay the rent. Naturally Zack proposes making a saucy skin-flick for cash. Hilarity ensues - not just your regular hilarity, but hilarity that will leave your underwear soiled. Theaters nationwide are being equipped to deal with this as we speak.

Rogen is his usual oafish self, delivering one-liners that are anything but throwaways, while Banks makes Meg Ryan blush with her top notch fake orgasms. She gave us a glimpse of this talent in the 40 Year Old Virgin, but you can see in Zack and Miri that she's committed to her craft and really honed it.

Having said that, Miri's not just eye candy or an orgasm-on-cue machine. Ultimately it is Miri's genuine sweetness that sends you home crying yourself to sleep, your love for her unrequited because she's not real. Zack is kind of a hopeless loser, but he's like your best loser friend (or yourself, if you're that friend) meaning he's awesome, because we love our tragically flawed heroes.

On a sidenote, Craig Robinson (Darryl of The Office) basically steals the movie as Delaney just like he did as the bouncer in Knocked Up. He's that good. It's almost distracting, because you end up feeling like he should get an hour onscreen just by himself.

Finally, this movie is not the box office powerhouse it is without the women. The boobs in this film played a large role (like DD large) in propelling Zack and Miri to its place among the pantheon of Hollywood classics. We salute you.
