I have not had this bad of a reaction to a film since Irreversible, and every time I think of Zack and Miri, I feel sick again. There is something very wrong with this movie, and I think a large part of it was casting Elizabeth Banks, who is above the material. The movie defiles her.
A better title would be Zack and Miri Is a Porno Movie, because it is, and for Smith to be shocked about it and use the "this day and age" argument is wrong on his behalf. And there is also something very wrong about a middle-aged man including such a disgusting poo joke in his film.
I didn't even want to comment on this film because I am not a fan of Smith's movies (even though I have seen them all and keep giving him a try, and I did like Clerks II). I must say that I love his Evening With Kevin Smith DVD's and watch them multiple times. I wish he could make his entire career from his speaking engagements.
