David Poland’s review of the Zack and Miri Make a Porno Blu-ray has him coming to much the same conclusion that I did after watching the movie, that this movie is a great leap forward in director Kevin Smith’s ability both behind the camera and as a writer.
I read an interview with Smith a while ago that this movie was the first that had the rest of Hollywood thinking he could direct other projects, meaning it was the first one where the film wasn’t filled with all his usual ticks and tricks and positioned him as capable of changing his style to match the material. Completely agree.
