Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) is a Kevin Smith comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Seth Rogen plays Zack, Elizabeth Banks plays Miri — two broke roommates in Pittsburgh who are three months behind on rent and out of ideas. Their fix: shoot a low-budget adult film, sell copies, stay warm.

Craig Robinson's Delaney bankrolls the operation; Justin Long and Brandon Routh show up as, let's say, talent. The shoot is a disaster in the best way. Then, somewhere between blown takes and a terrible set, eight years of platonic friendship starts to crack — and neither of them knows how to deal with it.

Made at View Askew Productions and distributed by The Weinstein Company, this 101-minute rom-com punches well below its premise and lands something genuinely sweet underneath all the vulgarity. Stream Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) online on iFILM.
