Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Let me start out by saying that I'm a big fan of both Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen. Unfortunatly I'm not a fan of Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This movie was a big dissappointment.

1.Dialog
The dialog is just bad. It's forced, designed to shock with filthy references. There's too much uneccery cursing. It's just bad, forced dialog.

2. Direction
I think the movie is misdirected. I could give an opinion of how I believe it should have been done but that's not my place. The director Kevin Smith took the fim in a certain direction and I feel it was the wrong direction. The tone and mood of the film is inconsitanta and unatural.

3. Continuity Problems
The continuity problems are just way too distracting. Seth Rogen's character's beard and hair go from neeatly trimmed to long and shaggy from long shot to close up in the same scene several times.

4.Racist Stereotypes
Just unecessary, unfunny and out of place in the story. Some of it seems edited in as filler during post production.

But most of all the story is not funny or enjoyable in any way. The movie tries to do too many things. It tries to appeal to a wide audience while giving a nod to Kevin Smith fans. In the end it fails miserably. Which is too bad because the premise does have potential.

No Stars. The movie is a waste of time.
