If you’re into predictable physical humor, fairly obvious jokes and movies where a fat slob with a Jew-puff winds up bagging a hot chick that he’s not remotely in the same league as, then “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is the flick for you. If you’re not … well … you shouldn’t have accidentally got it in the mail in the first place.
In my opinion, Seth Rogan jumped the shark about four movies ago, but either someone neglected to tell him or my expectations for comedy are grossly out of whack. The expected, predictable crowd of hangers-on who almost always seem to accompany Rogan is present, and it appears that Elizabeth Banks is intent on continuing her career descent. She was once a hot almost-leading-lady type, but for whatever reason, she takes roles where she tries to be funny rather than sexy.
Anyway, this was as big a waste of time as anticipated, despite a few funny moments. Judging by the last few flicks that have appeared in the mailbox, I’m starting to think NetFlix is the devil’s work. I’m half-expecting “Yentl” to come shortly, at which point the Jew-puff will transfer from Rogan to Babs Streisand. And I’ll throw up a little bit in my mouth while weeping.
Giddyup.
