All in all it's a modern-day, Kevin Smith fairytale: a big-screen bearing, perhaps, of his soul at its sincerest and wittiest, if not filthiest. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 02/20/2009
There remain some scatological touches I am still trying to forget. It's all done with great glee, yet falls far short of being hilarious. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 02/20/2009

A well-meaning, foul-mouthed misfire. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/05/2023

Zack and Miri Make a Porno exposes Smith’s formula to its most naked structure, leaving his outline blatant and overexposed. We slowly realize that he’s been making the same movie over and over again: Sex comedies with surprising acumen and feeling. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020

Whether or not genuine romantic drama was intended, the end result just isn't that funny. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/27/2020

Jack F @MovieFan111 Aug 23 I'm actually surprised this got an R rating as far as content is concerned. It was pretty funny throughout. The whole thing has an ugly face though. Best saved for older seasoned moviegoers. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Aug 14 Not the greatest story out there, but it's got some laughs in it. See more Harry H @Movies10 Jul 15 Definitely better than the last comedy I watch Jackass presents Bad Grandpa. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 20 Absolutely hilarious and awesome! See more Noel L @RT15930389 Nov 11 Saying this film is over the top is an understatement. Like WTF. This is the most R-rated and raunchy rom com I've ever seen See more Rami A @Bunt101 08/07/2025 No need to take this one seriously, because if you do, you'll be disappointed. However, if you don't take it seriously, you'll have a good time. See more Read all reviews
