Zack and Miri

It's basically a rip off of the 40-year-old Virgin. It's about ordinary, nerdy people who are thrown into uncomfortably sexual situations. It worked better in 40-year-old because Steve is a great comedic actor.

Don't get me wrong, Zack and Miri is good, it's just not as good. It relies too heavily on shock value and not enough well-written dialogue. Which is surprising since the movie was written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy). He is usually known for his dialogue. But in this one, it fails more than it succeeds.

I do have to give credit to the intro to the high school reunion scene though. Hilarious! Warning: Not for the faint of heart or the prude.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
