Zack and Miri make a porno by Kevin Smith


Zack and Miri make a porno is the latest film by indie writer/director,Kevin Smith(View Askew Productions). Starring are Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Traci Lords and Craig Robinson (Darryl from The Office).

The story of Zack (Rogen) and Miri (Banks) who are roommates that run out of money to pay the bills so they decided to film a porno movie to raise money. Their friend Delaney (Robinson) has a little extra money so Zack borrows it to film their new adventure. They began looking for actors and actress (i.e. Bubbles played by Lords) for a couple of extra scenes besides their "first time" having sex. After several events, Zack and Miri realize they are more than simple roommates.

Kevin Smith's trademark humor is there and combined with Apatow's usual suspects like Rogen, Banks and Robinson make a heck of a good funny tour de force film. It is a very simple story, more about love and finding something you like to do than actually making a porno. The film is making fun of that over abundant celebrity sex tapes but uses it to tell a good and funny story about finding love.

On a side note, the film also used an alternate poster because the title caused some controversy for having the word "porno" in it.
