Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)


Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks play best friends who live together.  They both have dead end jobs that don't pay much.  After they find out they can not pay their rent for the next month, they decide to make a porno film to make money.

The first half of the film wasn't that great.  It was kind of long and boring, but once they start filming their porn, the film gets better.  Shooting the porno scenes in the coffee shop is very funny.  Those were the best scenes of the movie.  The phony dialogue they create and the way they use the coffee shop in the scenes is hilarious.  The most outrageous scene has to do with the camera man filming an anal scene.  You do not see it coming!  So watch out!

Rogen and Banks were both good in the film.  Actually all of the actors were pretty good, including some of the real porn actors.  I didn't think I would get attached to these characters, but I actually sort of did.  I started to care if Rogen and Banks would get together.  

The biggest surprise of the film was Justin Long.  He plays the boyfriend of Bank's high school crush.  He is a gay porn actor with this weird deep voice.  I thought he was very good and quite funny.  I'm not his biggest fan, but I was surprised how good he was in this movie, even though it was only one scene.  

Overall, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" is a good comedy.  It isn't great, but it is fun to watch.  There were some pretty good laughs in it.

B-  I recommend it.
