This movie was pretty weak. Kevin Smith is making a pretty bad attempt to be like Judd Apatow. I thought this movie had a lot of potential, but K.Smith just hasn't been rocking it in the past like 10 years. I think the last movie I enjoyed of his was Dogma, but mostly because it was unique.
The casing of Zack and Miri was great, I thought Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen were great picks, but the script really forced them to use their chemistry to carry the film, instead of the story and dialogue.
Under more favourable circumstances K.Smith really knows how to carry the dialogue in his films, but he really seems to be working on autopilot. I don't care that I'm totally trashing the dude, because he really could do so much better. I think he should try a different medium to clease his humour palate and get some creativity going. Try some tv, man, or even some webisodes of some sort. Truely something can be done to salvage his situation, in my opinion.
Saying all this, I really didn't have very high hopes going into this film. I expected more from Darryl from the Office. I heard good reviews from his performance, but I thought it was pretty passive.
In the end, you might enjoy this film. Other people I've talked to said it was funny and entertaining, I just think it could have been better.
