wow, i almost couldn't finish it

i enjoyed all the other kevin smith movies i've seen but this was the most dumbed down unfunny movie that he has ever made, or seth rogan has ever made, or jason mewes has ever made. or every other actor for that matter.

nothing but increative D and V jokes all the way through that i've heard a thousand times before. lets add a dildo or a fake pair of balls to make this scene funny. i dont think i laughed once, yet i think Orgazmo is one of the funniest movies ever. maybe because it actually had real comedic dialogue. I still watch it and laugh, but i dont think i'll ever watch Zak and Miri ever again.

does anyone else agree? if not please explain to me how this movie is anything less than a total sex comedy failure

I thought it was hilarious and better than most Judd Apatow-related films. The only reason it didn't explode like most Apatow films is because Americans are humorless puritanical twits, especially on the subject of porn.

I wasn't so much amused by the inclusion of dildos in a scene. Those were just props to show they were making a movie that was a porno, even though they were dressed in Star Wars gear. The testicle bit in R2TeaBag was more token cringe humor rather than a gut busting laugh, but funny to me nonetheless.

Didnt finish watching it...agree on all your points. Awful writing by Kevin Smith- stringing a bunch of profanity together does not equal humor. He is WAY over rated.

This is another good example for not to rely on IMDB rating. This garbage has got 6.8. What has happened to the mentality of IMDB users? This is a totally pathetic and a disgusting movie that wasted time.

Your post is freakin' hilarious - did you just lift that from a discussion about some other movie? Or are you serious? If so, you must be smoking something much stronger than the nicotine your username implies. I mean, you do know this thread is about 'Zach & Miri Make a Porno', don't you?

this movie was hilarious and it also had great heart.

I think the south park creaters who made orgazmo are very clever but orgazmo would have stood up as a 3-4 min skit about a mormon doing porn, but as a feature length movie it was horrible.

I think the characters in zack and miri were very likeable and more believable than in most other comedies. Unlike most comedies the female lead wasn't prim and perfect and was flawed and real. Hate to tell you mate but if you ever leave your computer and get a girlfriend youll realise that there as flawed and well not perfect just like the rest of us.
