I caught Zack and Miri this weekend and I must say it was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. Oddly the movie doesn’t look like a Kevin Smith film and aside from the gratuitous addition of Jennifer Schwalbach as the class reunion organizer and of course Jason Mewes, you may not even know it was a Smith film. Seth and Banks work really well together in this film and every minor role is played amazingly well. Justin Long is nothing short of brilliant, The rest of the cast holds up really well including Tisha Campbell’s 5 minutes, which are fantastic. It wasn’t ground breaking nor does it even nudge the envelope, other than having the word porno in the title and some nudity, it is actually kind of a tame movie.

Smith is notorious for having the worst musical soundtracks, the guy really should leave those editorial decisions to someone else but in this film, other than the Primus choice in the opening, he doesn’t fall flat on his face. Which doesn’t say much but for those of us who think music is important it’s huge.
