Zack and Miri Make a Porno movie review
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
When you sit down to watch a movie with the title "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", you do so with certain expectations. You want laughs and you expect jokes that you wouldn't feel comfortable re-telling to your mother. Fortunately Zack and Miri delivers both in spades, but for me, it delivered so much more.
Put simply Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the most romantic movie I have ever seen. Zack (Seth Rogan) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are platonic life long friends, who happen to share a house, and also happen to be deep in debt. They need money fast, or else they are likely to find themselves homeless. Now in need of some fast money, the average person may take a second job, or sell off unwanted furniture. Zack, however, hatches the plan to make and sell his very own pornographic movie. From there on in, it's all very predictable, in a good way. You can disengage your brain and just have a laugh.
