Rating: R
Movie Release Date: October 31, 2008
DVD Release Date: February 3, 2009
Plot 411: Two long-time friends are in a bind financially and turn to making a porno to pay the bills.
Review: I'm not sure if I've said this before or not, but I really don't get what the hype is surrounding Seth Rogen. It's like he's to the '00s what Jim Carey was to the '90s, only Rogen is way, way worse. However, I've gotta admit that he was pretty funny in this film. It was also amazing how Elizabeth Banks pulled off playing this fun, likable girl when I just saw her in The Uninvited playing an intruding stepmom-type character. I guess that's why she gets paid the big bucks, huh? This film had so many awesome lines in it that I'm sure people walked out of the theater quoting it. Justin Long's cameo was deliciously funny as well. (You also need to check him out in the Bonus Features.) In this type of movie, I suppose the plot isn't really as important as the gags, but basically when water and power get shut off at Zack and Miri's place, they need to take drastic measures in order to continue to live in their house. They round up a cast and crew and decide to shoot a porno and become famous. It's a simple premise that allows for a lot of funny porn scenes.
Watch It: If gross-out humor makes you wet your pants.
Skip It: If sex jokes and nudity offend you.

There's not much nudity at least on Zack and Miri's parts. The flesh are provided by the supporting and hilarious casts.
True dat. If you took out the fact that they're trying to film a porno in a coffee shop, it'd be just like any other rom-com.
Guy likes girl.
Girl doesn't even notice guy.
Conflict arises that makes girl realize how important guy is.
Guy and girl end up together.
Weirdly enough, the porno part makes this movie. Otherwise, it'd just get lost in the sea of rom-coms starring actors who are much more well-known.
