It seems that I got my November movie month started out right with Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I'm gonna say that I am a Kevin Smith fan. You may hate him but he is a smart fucking guy. And he gets what movies are really about. The Story.
This movie was no different. The story was simple and it is in the dialog where Mr. Smith really shines. The interplay between Seth Rogan and Craig Robinson (aka the black guy from the Office/ funniest scene in Knocked Up) was hilarious. Jason Mewes was great taking a step away from the crass Jay and a step towards playing an individual who may be legally retarded. Elizabeth Banks showed her range from comedy to drama as her character really is the most interesting.
The best part of this movie is Justin Long's cameo. I thought he was amazing in Live Free or Die Hard, but this you just have to see. That being said...
I recommend this for anyone looking for some great laughs and quotable lines. This movie did seem to me as a partial autobiography for Kevin Smith, explaining why he is a filmmaker.
"Would you grow up?" - Name that quote. (hint: the title of this post is from the same movie)
