Zack And Miri Make A Porno (2008) 8/10

Starring : Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson, Craig Robinson, Traci Lords, Ricky Mabe, Katie Morgan
Director : Kevin Smith
Running Time : 95 mins

Childhood friends Zack Brown (Rogen) and Miriam Linky(Banks) are strapped for cash and desperately need to pay their rent to their landlord before they get evicted. A chance meeting at their high school reunion gives Zack the idea of making money from a porn film, so the two of them set about coming up with a story and finding a cast and crew to make their money problems disappear...

The problem with this movie is that it didn't really leave anything to the imagination. Movies like Orgazmo, although controversial, managed to succeed with their message without having any nudity, but Zack And Miri had copious numbers of nude scenes throughout which, in some ways, watered down its message. However, most of the comedy was right on the money and made for some clever gross out moments which still left you lasughing more than gagging.
