The #1 movie over the past weekend (10/24-10/26) was High School Musical 3, for a second week in a row, which brought in $15,316,072 ($62,034,083 overall.) Since I gave you my review of that movie last week, I figured I’d review the movie that came in second place in the box office…the controversial Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Writer/director/producer/Silent Bob-portrayer Kevin Smith’s latest flick brought in $10,065,630 in its first weekend. There is a theater in Utah that refuses to show the movie because of the title (oh…and the plotline.) Yet they will show Saw V…filled with people being tortured, sliced, and squished (go figure.) Smith’s core audience (of which I am a part of as a 33-year-old male) will love it, because it has almost everything a growing boy needs…filthy language and nudity (almost too much nudity…it’s disturbing to see the skinny Jason Mewes showing off his Full Monty.) Leads Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks (who is in six movies this year) have good chemistry as two platonic friends who decide to make a porno to pay their bills. It’s not my favorite Smith movie (his first flick…1994’s Clerks…is still my fav), but it’s extremely funny. (more…)
