What I've Watched: Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Being a fan of Kevin Smith films has never been hard for me. Some people grew up on certain musicians and cultural lightning rods. One of mine was certain Clerks and all the other subsequent films Smith made. Chasing Amy was the perfect (if not refined) date movie and its still great to see Ben Affleck and Jason Lee before they got huge. Also, Mallrats is an underrated classic.

Clerks 2 was decent but not great, and Jersey Girl was kinda crap so I was worried he had lost his schtick. But luckily he rebounded well with Zack and Miri, another "date movie" if you can call it that. I like Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogan was awesome in Knocked Up and his side stint in Superbad was solid. The movie has great pottymouth jokes and has some good rambles and one-liners you expect from Smith.

Even seeing a sobered up (maybe???) Mewes was a nice sight, even though he's just getting worse looking by the day, and I can only hope he's kicked the habit. And I love the guy who plays the warehouse guy in The Office. He's doing a great job of not taking any lead roles just yet and just continuing to rock things out from the sidelines. For some good laughs and funny faux porn scenes, this is a worthy movie to check out.
