That guy from the Coast is terrible. Not even sure why they have him around. Usually he reviews movies a week or two after they've started and half the time I think he looks at Rotten Tomatoes and simply goes against the prevailing opinion. End rant.
Ebert one of the last remaining true film critics who reviews a film on its merits and place in the genre gives it a 3 out of 4. I tend to find anything Ebert gives 3 or higher a great film and many of the ones he gives a 2 out of 4 are a decent nights entertainment even if they aren't memorable.
Quote:
"Zack and Miri Make a Porno," as the title hints, is about Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) making a porno. "I don't know bleep about directing," Smith once confided to me. "But I'm a bleeping good writer."
He is. Since he likes to eat, I will describe him in food terms. He isn't a gourmet chef, supplying little nuggets of armadillo surrounded by microscopic carrots and curlicues of raspberry-avocado-mint juice. He's the kind of chef I've valued for a lifetime, the kind you see behind the ledge in a Formica diner, pulling down new orders from revolving clips. The kind of diner where the waitresses wear paper Legionnaire hats, pop their gum, and say, "What ya havin' today, hon?"
In Kevin Smith's fantasy diner, the waitresses at this joint strip naked and have noisy lesbian sex, and then Jose the busboy joins in the fun. They all scream loudly: "Bleep, you bleeping bleep! I bleep your bleep! Bleep! Bleep! I'm bleeping bleeping!"

It's running 65% on rotten tomatoes which I have a feeling is pretty darn good for a Kevin Smith film.
