Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)
It's yet another remake of the old joke of ordinary losers going kinky, resorting to sex to get out their financial (and existential) shithole. We've seen it in The Full Monty and a dozen of other movies, only The Full Monty is a much wittier, darker, and genuine (surely complete as well) presentation. In Zack and Miri, the plots don't go very far beyond the title, the characters seem to come straight down from posters, the acting can hardly beat that in a real porno, the irony -- I got it! -- is further spoiled by the overnight-leftover-tasting and very unlikely romance between a hot babe and a chubby dude with some nerdy glasses (sorry, I can't help it... but I have to say that I liked his curls. Don't want to overstate my liking though), and the massive overflowing magic f words lose their magic pretty fast. Now you wanna ask, Why did you spend $9 to see it in the first place, you foreign snob? Well, to clarify, my gentleman friend paid for me (poor guy). Also going to a movie was just a spontaneous decision when we were out in the rain last night, and some titles like Four Christmas and Twilight just sounded nightmarish to me. At least Zack and Miri has the word "Porno" in it -- it mustn't be too bad, I reckoned, just like many others. I was wrong, and learned, once again, that sex makes us make bad decisions (and in this case, I had double dose of it -- what do you expect?). In conclusion, spending 1 hr 41 min watching this film is only recommended if you have a hot date sitting beside you in the dark. Love & peace.
