Run time: 101 minutes.
MPAA Rating: R for strong crude sexual content including dialogue, graphic nudity and pervasive language.
Film makers try to put so many frames on romance, from sinking ship to war, but porn? That takes some serious effort and Kevin Smith (with interesting synergy with Judd Apatow) takes porn to a new level, especially the numbers of cursing and swearwords that match the casualties of Saving Private Ryan, the level of romance. Every dialogue contains the F, A, C, D and P word or its synonyms and said without remorse.
Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are roommates and they have lived together for years, enduring poverty and their own attractions to each other, establishing a platonic relationship. Facing eviction, they have to spin their brain to make cash. After an unfortunate accident that sent Miri’s “granny panties” to the internet, they had a crazy idea, making their own amateur porn movie. So they enlist many of their friends, a list of quirky characters with dumbness and funny accent.
But having sex and making love, turns out to be a big difference on Zack and Miri, will they keep making porn and hide their jealousy as each of them was “scripted” to “bleep” somebody else in their porn movie.
In terms of visual vulgarity, this wasn’t as graphic as American Pie, Basic Instinct or the Jackass series, although it might make some squeamish people wince as Zack arrange the F, A, C and D word in just one breath, don’t even mention the profanity jokes which knows no boundary at all. By the way, after seeing this film you wish you never know what “Dutch rudder” is.
