Ain’t It Cool News - …Zack and Miri Make a Porno was the funniest movie of the year in my opinion. Before the summer I was really looking forward to “Step Brothers,” “Pineapple Express” and “Tropic Thunder,” as the hype I heard surrounding each of the films was nothing but positive, and each lived up to their hype. I knew “ZAMMAP” was coming out in late October but had heard practically nothing on it until only recently, with positive reviews coming out about it. So I was pumped going in, expecting a great Kevin Smith film, and that’s exactly what I got.
Right off the bat, the first 40 or so minutes of the film are the funniest minutes in recent memory. The pace doesn’t quit as the audience is hit with joke after joke, which at times can be annoying because everyone is laughing so hard that you sometimes miss jokes, but it’s worth it just because the those minutes are amazing. Seth Rogen is great, as he is in all his movies, even though he seems to be playing the same role in every movie, he knows how to knock it out of the park. Elizabeth Banks is great and ridiculously sexy, even in those granny panties. Craig Robinson steals every single scene he is in. I was expecting more from him in “Pineapple Express,” but Kevin Smith knew how to utilize him in this film and he is perfectly cast. The rest of the supporting cast, including Jason Mewes, was all great. They each brought a different element to the making of the porno, whether it was making a dick erect within a manner of seconds, or being able to blow bubbles with a certain body part, they all had a special talent in the making of the porno and of the movie itself.
Something that really stuck out for me was the choice of music that Kevin Smith made. Honestly, I don’t remember one of the songs, but I know that each song chosen really reflected a particular moment in the movie. Specifically, when Zack and Miri are having sex, the song being played really, really struck a chord with me… [Full Story]
