Critics Consensus

Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a modest success for Kevin Smith, due in large part to the charm of Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.

All in all it's a modern-day, Kevin Smith fairytale: a big-screen bearing, perhaps, of his soul at its sincerest and wittiest, if not filthiest.

There remain some scatological touches I am still trying to forget. It's all done with great glee, yet falls far short of being hilarious.

A well-meaning, foul-mouthed misfire.

2/4

Zack and Miri Make a Porno exposes Smith’s formula to its most naked structure, leaving his outline blatant and overexposed. We slowly realize that he’s been making the same movie over and over again: Sex comedies with surprising acumen and feeling.

Whether or not genuine romantic drama was intended, the end result just isn't that funny.

The View Askew universe is growing and Smith is becoming quite the filmmaker.

Saying this film is over the top is an understatement. Like WTF. This is the most R-rated and raunchy rom com I've ever seen

No need to take this one seriously, because if you do, you'll be disappointed. However, if you don't take it seriously, you'll have a good time.

I remember the days when Kevin Smith would actually be able to make a good movie. Too bad those days have passed.
