When Zack and Miri Make a Porno came out, the range of my desire to see it was from little to none. I adore Elizabeth Banks, but I really dislike Seth Rogen, and his presence alone was enough to tamp down any inkling of desire that I had to see the film on account of its lead actress.Then, I think because it was on Netflix and we were bored, S and I watched it. And it was pretty funny! And also cute! And I liked it much more than I anticipated that I would.
Zack and Miri are long-time friends and roommates. They find themselves short of cash to make the rent (and keep the utilities on), so decide the best way to make a quick but is ... you guessed it! So they set about their project and deal with the consequences.
Bottom line: when the bar is low, it's easy to get over it.
[Aside: having now seen this movie, I realize that maybe it's not Seth Rogen himself whom I dislike, but rather the choices he makes about which movie roles to take. But in the world of Hollywood, it amounts to more or less the same thing, doesn't it?]
