One Paragraph Review: Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Zack and Miri tries admirably to tell a story about what happens when people try to have sex without feelings. There were some funny moments (and one gut wrenching scene involving a certain body function) but the moral of the story does sort of kill the funny. My biggest problem though was that I just didn't buy the acting. Zack aka Seth Rogan basically plays the same character as his other movies. And that's fine. And funny. But I just did not buy Elizabeth Banks in her role as Miri. I guess the role was specifically written for Rosario Dawson, but it didn't make sense to me. Miri is supposed to be this pathetic and ignored girl. But Elizabeth Banks is stunningly good looking. It's a gap that the movie never attempted to address.
