- Well, it seems a LOT of reviewers caught wind of this World Premiere screening in Toronto and made it in to see “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” last night — The great news is that it’s being universally loved and praised, the bad news is that it’s flooding the net and this site with early reviews (some containing spoilers) 2 months in advance of the film’s release! This is the first time that we can recall seeing so many advanced reviews of a View Askew flick hitting the web so early, and we’ve been doing our best to stay away from as much as possible, having not seen the film yet. So, we’re skimming these for spoilers and will warn where we can, but as always, read at your own risk — The film will be fun, but of course you’ll dig it even more if you don’t know everything about it before October 31st.
We’re not going to run complete reviews here, as they are numerous, but instead take select NON-SPOILER sections, so you can safely read on our page. Clicking through may result in spoilers, and we’ll warn where we can.“Kevin Smith is back and Seth Rogen’s got ’em. Or at least that’s how the ad copy should read for Smith’s libidinous rom-com, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. While Elizabeth Banks is ostensibly knocking about the premises as Rogen’s unexpected love interest, it is the cozy marriage of sensibilities between the director of Clerks and the co-writer/star of Superbad that gives this movie its particular go-for-the-groin, land-on-the-heart chemistry.”
(General minor spoilers regarding over-arching plot)
“Smith’s latest script crackles with verbal and visual hilarity, taking risks in some areas, yet showing his sensitive side as well. In essence, Zack and Miri is a film about relationships, sex, love, the way we depend on each other, and amidst the film’s often raw, unbridled comedy, this is a very emotive love story.”
(spoiler-free)
“Kevin Smith is known for his smart, edgy dialogue and there’s plenty of his brilliant, wordy style on display in Zack and Miri. He’s combined that with a great cast, maybe the most talented he’s ever worked with, and the result is one of Smith’s funniest, dirtiest, most gleefully offensive movies to date. “
(a few small spoilers in central paragraphs)
This being the first true raunchy R-rated comedy from Kevin and View Askew that’s a departure from the Askewniverse, to hear it being received so well can’t help but bring a smile to our face and a feeling of pride — Kevin has treated this one differently from the start, and continues to do so with the low key marketing, letting the film speak for itself. And with this big debut, it seems to be talking itself up QUITE well. Congrats to Kevin, the cast, and the crew on what looks to be the breakout hit of the Fall. Spread the word, and tell everyone you know to look for this one next month.
