What Parents Need to Know
About Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Parents need to know that this Kevin Smith comedy about amateur porn filmmakers -- which was rated R on appeal after initially receiving an NC-17 -- is packed with coarse, crude language and situations, including explicit depictions of sex acts and full-frontal nudity. Characters are seen having sex with people they don't know very well, with no mention of safe-sex practices or contraception. In one of the film's more over-the-top sight gags, a character filming a sex scene is sprayed with feces. Language includes every four-letter word under the sun and them some, and there are plenty of body part/function terms and racial/sexual epithets as well. Two homosexual characters (one of whom is portrayed very flamboyantly) are shown in a loving, committed relationship.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the hard-to-negotiate differences between sex, love, and friendship. What does this movie have to say about all three?
- Talk about the popularity of raunchy comedies -- why do you think these kinds of movies have become so prevalent? Does this reflect a new openness about sex or an anything-goes permissiveness that cheapens real sexuality?
- Talk about why people make pornography -- and why people watch it.

- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give itMy concerns are:
When I saw the title, I was expecting something a sex comedy with a serious undertone, like "Knocked Up". What I got was a love story dressed in sex comedy garb. Honestly, if you have a male-female friendship, do you really think you can find out your true feelings by having sex? No, you find out by having a serious conversation. Of course, the shock factor of nudity (which wasn't even in the movie) and intimacy with a friend can make feelings come out, but generally, it's very naive to think that sex will help you find out how you feel. The movie sends a naive message that doesn't hold true in today's world. And one word of warning: if you have a platonic friend, don't see this movie with them. It'll be too weird.

- I rate this title iffy for age 17 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
- Inappropriate language
- Excessive consumerism
- Drinking, smoking, or drug use
- Negative role models
- My highlights are:
This was a hilarious movie, but it's (as the title might hint at) FULL of sexual content. The main turn of for me in the language (f-ck doesn't concern me) are the words "n-gger" and "c-nt" -- mainly because of their general negative use. Like I said, obviously, there's lots of nudity -- one scene of male and female full-frontal nudity each -- and a couple shots of topless women. (although not as many as Crank 2). Plenty of product placement, mostly names though. A fair amount of drinking happens with references to drinking to the extreme. Obviously there's bad role models -- lots of sex for the sake of sex without talk of contraceptives -- but there's also the idea that if you put your mind to something, you can do anything.

Good movie, just not for stupid people
This movie was terrific. Now some may disagree and say it was terrible and filled with sex. My reply: it has the word PORNO in the freakin title. I'm 15 and I saw the movie. What parents need to realize is that 1, if you have a son above the age of 12, he's seen atleast part of a porno. 2, if your kids are truly determined to do something, they'll probably get it done. Realize that saying this movie had to much sex in it just makes you seem like an idiot. Going to see a movie that's rated R and has the words "Make a Porno" in it and then complaining about the quantity of sex is just stupid and so is anyone who does this. The movie had a great story line and it was a very good romantic comedy. It was perfect for anyone who likes romance and romantic comedies, and has the maturity level of someone above the age of 12 and isn't a psycopathic moron looking for a reason to be upset.

Zack and Miri make a weak Porno and movie.
I was really disapointed in Zack and Miri because i like Kevin Smith and i like Seth Rogen even more and i thought here was a weak attempt and put way too much language throughout the movie.

HILARIOUS
Great funny movie. It is extremely raunchy and not for kids. I watched it and i was laughing through the whole movie. It was kind of more boring at the end but other than that it was awesome.

Very Funny but very inappropriate.
This is by far Kevin Smith's funniest movie. It is very raunchy, though, with its constant cracks at sex and frequent nudity. I don't recommend it for anyone under 17.

Better than the review
It may not be Smith's finest work, but it's funnier than the CSM review. There are several cameos in the movie that provide some of the most hilarious moments. I do wonder how closely the reviewer was watching since he wrongly criticizes two elements of the film. First, we do know what Miri does for a living. She works at a clothing store at the mall. She goes to work there early in the movie and brings clothes to try on for the reunion to the coffee shop. Second, there is a reason for Zack and Miri to have sex in the movie. The whole point of making the porno was to market it to their high school class. Zack specifically says those people would buy the movie to see their classmates in a porno. The fact that the reviewer missed the motivation for the movie's entire premise makes me question his overall opinion.

Not for kids, and not as funny as you'd expect
While your high school age kids really shouldn't see this movie, your college age kids definitely will. I was a little disappointed - the reviews have been calling it hilarious and sweet, but I found the jokes to be less funny overall than Judd Apatow's finest. And the plot is pretty ridiculous. Still it's fun entertainment, just leave the kids at home.
