Zack and Miri Make a Porno

*** - All I can say to Jeff Anderson is this; I sure hope that’s pudding! This is in reference to a scene in this 2008 Kevin Smith movie in which Anderson, while filming a scene of anal intercourse, is blasted in the face by what appears to be a completely full small intestine worth of poop. That scene rivals the one in “Austin Powers 2” in which Mike Myers drinks a cup of poop as the most disgusting poop-related scene in cinema history. Putting that aside, and the numerous shots of Jason Mewes’ ass (and a shot of his ding dong), and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is actually a pretty funny movie, and a definite improvement over Smith’s previous film “Clerks II” and “Jersey Girl.” The dialogue is outstanding and the actors do a fantastic job delivering it, especially Anderson, Mewes, the black guy from the US version of “The Office” and Justin Long as a gay porn star. Even Seth Rogen – who I normally can’t stand – is fairly funny in this despite the fact that his main selling points as an actor are, as far as I can tell, his abilities to be loud and hairy. There is a lot about the film that is highly implausible, the romantic plotline is hackneyed and dull, and it is filmed without much artistry, but all of that is par for the course for a Smith film. The key is the dialogue, and Smith is at his raunchy, funny best here.
