I'm a Kevin Smith fan, with Mallrats staying as my favorite of his movies. Zack and Miri doesn't knock Mallrats out, but it was definitely a good Kevin Smith movie. To get it out of the way, if the title makes you uncomfortable and you don't know who Kevin Smith is, this movie is more than likely not your cup of tea.
The movie is about two friends (Zack and Miri), who are out of money and late on bills, so they come up with the fantastic idea to make a porno in order to get back on their feet. Of course, things go wrong as both Zack and Miri discover that they are in love with each other and it makes their job that much harder to go through.
Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks are great as Zack and Miri. Banks holds her own extremely well in the foul-mouthed script and she's dang funny to boot. The whole porno shooting scenes are quite hilarious, especially any scene with Jason Mewes. It's my first time seeing him as anything by Jay and I found him to be very funny.
Like a lot of the movies I see, you know whether you'll like it before you even see it just by the names attached, and this is no different. If you know you like Kevin Smith or Seth Rogen, go see it. If you are uncomfortable by the title, I suggest you go watch Mallrats or another Kevin Smith movie on DVD so you can cut it off if need be.
P.S. Be sure to watch through the credits if you go.

thanks for the review.. when i was younger my parents heard that i liked a movie called clerks (kevin's first), so they decided to rent it without telling me.. apparently they turned it off and returned it within 15 minutes.. kevin smith's movies do NOT translate to older generations, typically the witty barrage of dialog is overlooked because of the profanity..
