Critic Reviews

Marjorie Baumgarten

Smith gives the appearance of wanting to provoke, but along with his smuttiness, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Read full review

Kyle Smith

The funniest movie of Smith's I've seen. It's "When Harry Did Sally." Read full review

Peter Travers

Naughty and nice is a killer-hard combo to pull off. Stick with Rogen and Banks. They rock it. Read full review

Robert Wilonsky

The biggest titters at a recent preview screening came during a scene in which Mewes shows off his dick--as though, at last! Still, how Jason Segal of him. Does Apatow always get there first? Read full review

Dana Stevens

This movie could have been an effervescent neo-screwball romance, "Bringing Up Baby" with nut-sack jokes. So there's no blaming the subject matter for the fact that Zack and Miri feels so dispiritingly graceless. Read full review

Neely Tucker

This was originally rated NC-17, and somehow, I'm thinking that version will survive on DVD. Read full review

Michael Sragow

Smith appears to have poured his creative energy into the cheerful come-on of the title and left nothing in reserve for the movie. He fails to wring any memorable comedy from shoestring porno filmmakers because his own filmmaking is just as amateurish and slovenly. Read full review

Kevin Smith's taken a cue from Judd Apatow's success with The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and created a surprisingly sweet, profanity-laden sex comedy. Oh yeah, Zack and Miri Make a Porno will definitely offend some viewers (as did Virgin and Knocked Up), but I've got to believe if theKevin Smith's taken a cue from Judd Apatow's success with The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and created a surprisingly sweet, profanity-laden sex comedy. Oh yeah, Zack and Miri Make a Porno will definitely offend some viewers (as did Virgin and Knocked Up), but I've got to believe if the title alone offends you, you know better than to buy a ticket to watch the movie. Zack and Miri Make a Porno that spells out right there what you're in store for. If you can handle the title, you can probably handle the R-rated film.… Expand

What is most remarkable about this movie, is that I've never seen a genuine romantic love story told in such crude language. Bravo!

A very solid comedy with plenty of laugh out loud moments and just enough drama. There are some very funny characters here played by good actors. I almost wish it was longer, so I could see what else they could come up with.

The laughs are frequent, but the story is bland and predictable. Wait for the dvd unless you're just really bored.

Let's not support this kind of Hollywood trash or there will be more of it! Protect our children and our children's children!
