Plot: A pair of irresponsible energy drink salesmen realize that serving a month of hard time is nothing compared to spending 150 hours in a community mentorship program after they trash the company truck and find themselves at the mercy of the court in this comedy starring Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd. Wheeler (Scott) and Danny (Rudd) wouldn't necessarily be the first people a parent would turn to when seeking out a babysitter, in fact, they probably wouldn't even make the list in the first place. After slamming a few too many Minotaur energy drinks and crashing the company truck, however, the two loose-living pals narrowly avert jail when the court decides to let them become mentors to a group of young misfits. But how is the recently dumped Danny supposed to help bashful, role-playing geek Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) become a man when all he can offer the boy is bitter sarcasm, and is beer-chugging man-child Wheeler really the best choice to help foul-mouthed fifth-grader Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) develop more respect for his elders? Probably not, but they'll have to do their best anyway when the center's ex-con director (Jane Lynch) confronts them with a harsh ultimatum. Now, if Wheeler and Danny can just make it through the rest of their probation without getting tossed in jail, maybe there's hope for the boys -- and Danny's relationship with his fed-up girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) -- after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Sporadically funny
Added 8/11/2009

The Bottom Line:

The first half an hour or so of Zack and Miri Make a Porno (particularly the High School reunion scene) is often quite funny but soon the movie falls into Knocked Up mode, so desperate to cling to a formulaic romantic plot that it forgets to be a comedy too; even fans of Kevin Smith are likely to be disappointed in the mixed bag of a film.

2.5/4

A VERY STRANGE MIX OF SWEET AND SOUR!
Added 8/2/2009

After watching 'My Best Friend's Girl', I expected this film to be really funny. With a cast like this it's pretty hard to fail, but in some ways...it does. The mix of raunchy and romance is really a little jarring at times and the whole porno movie thing is really just a backdrop for a routine romantic comedy with a lot of profanity. It's a shame because I would have liked this film to continue on after the porno was made. It's not a bad film, but I expected more from this crew. The DVD transfer is excellent and the 2 disc edition has some interesting extras.

Hmmm... so that's what Jason Mewes looks like naked.

Porn has gone mainstream! Twenty years ago it was something quiet and shameful; relegated to curtained-off areas of your local non-chain video store. Before that, all there was were creepy little theatres showing such epics as "Behind the Green Door", and "Deep Throat".

Now, though, it's so mainstream it seems like anyone can do it, and that's the thrust, as it were, of "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", or, as it says on the box where I bought it, "Zack and Miri", cause the retailer is willing to make money off it, but they don't want to risk offending anyone who might see the word "porno".

And make no mistake; this is a potentially very offensive movie. It's also incredibly hilarious, and one of Kevin Smith's best!

The plot centers around Zack and Miri, two people in their late-twenties who are desperate for money. They've lost their power, they've lost their water and they're facing eviction. What ever are they to do?

Then they come up with an idea: make a porno. Not just any porno, mind you, but "Star Whores", a geekfest porno, featuring all the action geeks think they might like to some day see. Events spiral from there, plans get changed, the movie gets changed, and there's a lot of nudity and gross-out humor.

I must say, I laughed my backside off at this film. It's like all the best of a Kevin Smith movie mixed with some of Apatow's better works. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn hilarious! I never laughed so hard as I did when I saw someone get their cake frosted, as it were. Sure, it was predictable, but still great. Plus, hey, as I said in the title, if you've ever wanted to see Jason Mewes naked, now you can.

I'm glad to see that Kevin Smith is branching out beyond the View Askewniverse. He's got some real talent and it's nice to see him display that here. This movie isn't for everyone, but fans of his previous work, as well as movies like "Superbad" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" will likely have a great time!
