Zack and Miri Make a Porno

(USA, 2008, 102 minutes)

Two best friends who've lived together for years find they're actually in love with each other after they agree to make a quickie pornographic movie to pay for their overdue rent. A great idea for a subversive romantic comedy, a game cast and the occasional inspired gag are wasted in a severely underscripted plot, as if the idea was enough to carry it through an overload of tiresome juvenile humour.
