Weirdest Love Story Ever

You long time readers know I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan, even got an email from Kev that I posted a long time back. So tonight I was thrilled to finally watch Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Two life long friends in deep debt decide to make a porn to pay off their bills. What ensues is everything that it takes to make a no budget movie....and a bit more. With a solid classic Kevin Smith cast and the offbeat humor this is Chasing Amy redux.

Funny, touching, gross out (although not as much as Clerks 2) and lots of heart....foul mouthed heart but heart anyway. It was a lot like my group of friends in a few parts...well minus the gratuitous amounts of sex. A handful of people turn into wonderful friends and a patch work family.

This movie in its own way explores friends and lovers as only Smith can do. His finger firmly on the pulse of cutting edge dialogue and charm. Its a good mixture and it works.

Watch it, not with kids around though but watch it.
