Preview: Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

There is certainly something about trying too hard to look like you aren't trying at all. Every time I see a poster that uses stick figure techniques, it feels like a cheat in a clever ploy's disguise.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The trailer has a few light moments that make it seem like it could be enjoyable. However, we've learned in the past that Kevin Smith's Star Wars fetish doesn't always translate into a quality film, case in point: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Oscar Prospects:

It'll be an unusual day when the Academy lets any film in that even remotely revolves around porn, let alone a comedy. Boogie Nights was one of the few successes and it didn't even receive a much expected Best Picture nomination.

Release Date:

• October 31, 2008
