Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a 2008 film written and directed by Kevin Smith, and starring Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jeff Anderson, Traci Lords, Jason Mewes, and Craig Robinson.Roommates Zack Brown (Rogen) and Miri Linky (Banks) decide to make a pornographic movie in order to pay their bills. However, during the filming of the movie Zack and Miri seem to deal with their Unresolved Sexual Tension, although the path of love does not run smoothly.Originally Smith's second film after Jersey Girl to be set outside of The View Askewniverse, its exclusion therefrom was eventually retconned when the character of Brandon (Justin Long) was written into Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. |

Poor Communication Kills: Of course, if Zack and Miri could actually talk to each other like two mature adults, the last third of the movie wouldn't happen. |

Censored Title |
| | Zack and Miri Make a Porno / int_1cdada2a |
comment |
Censored Title: Many posters listed the movie as Zack and Miri, while others looked like the page image without the title at the bottom, carrying the tagline "Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks made a movie so outrageous that we can't even tell you the title." Most of the DVD covers also have the title as just Zack and Miri. Presumably, places such as Walmart would not have stocked the movie under its full name. Not just posters, but also TV ads. Kevin Smith once complained about the NFL banning trailers of his films during games, saying they were inappropriate, but allowing commercials for beer and ED prescriptions. |

Secret Test of Character: Miri sets one of these for Zack, telling him it's okay to sleep with one of the actresses (for the movie) and, essentially, punishing him when (she believes) he has. Zack calls her out for her newly-found Manipulative Bitch tendencies, moves out, and abandons the production. |

Women Are Wiser: Subverted. Neither Zack nor Miri is intelligent, talented, skillful, or able to manage his or her money whatsoever, but Miri seems to display fewer screw-ups than Zack...that is, until the last act of the film when Miri, in a truly, infuriatingly perplexing and bizarre move, purposely rejects Zack and acts like she's going to go through with her sex scene with Lester even after Zack spills his guts to her, tells her he loves her, and heavily implies that he didn't even sleep with Stacey. She still acts indignant and allows him to walk out on her and the film's production, ruining everything until Delaney convinces Zack to try talking to Miri again sometime later. |

Moral Guardians: They didn't take too kindly to the film, the poster or even the title. This is probably why the movie was released on DVD in many places as simply Zack and Miri. Apparently, the marketing people feared the possibility of children asking their parents what a porno was if they saw the title, to which Smith, himself a father and who didn't believe the title was vulgar, angrily replied "God forbid parents talk to their children." |

Leave the Camera Running: Avoided in the main film, but the Deleted Scene... well, there are two of them. One for Justin Long and one for Seth Rogen where they just sit there and ad-lib. Kevin Smith openly dislikes people ad-libbing on his material and often requires actors to follow the script exactly, but acknowledged that when the lead actor of your movie is one of the most noted ad-lib comedians of his day, you'd be an idiot not to make use of it. |

Political Overcorrectness |
| | Zack and Miri Make a Porno / int_b6db5695 |
comment |
Political Overcorrectness: At the beginning of the movie, Delaney (a Black man) accuses his boss of racism because he wants him to work on Black Friday. In reality, it's only an act so that Delaney wouldn't miss out on Black Friday shopping. |

Shout-Out |
| | Zack and Miri Make a Porno / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The Monroeville Zombies hockey team refer to Dawn of the Dead (1978), and some scenes are shot in the same mall as the original film. To add to that, one of the porn titles Zack suggests is "Dawn of the Dick", and the sketchy man they rent the storage space from is played by none other than Tom Savini. |

Porn Names: Played with. Made even funnier later on when we see the DVD cover for the movie and he's billed as "Pete Jonze." |

Everyone Can See It: Everyone sees there was more than just porn sex going on between Zack and Miri when their scene comes up (they see it too, but won't admit it). |

Intentionally Awkward Title: Rumor has it the movie was green-lit on this alone. Although a second guess might have made the studio heads realize that marketing a film with such a title would be near-impossible. |
