iAfrica.com Rebekah Kendal So, to recap: the movie about making a porno stars two former porn stars as actresses, two actors pretending to be porn stars, two actors attempting to make porn without being porn stars, a whole lot of porn lingo, and a little bit of porn. | 10 | |

Box Office John P. McCarthy While he paved the way in certain respects, it feels as though Kevin Smith is jumping on the Judd Apatow bandwagon. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 15 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Mostly unfunny attempt to copy Judd Apatow’s blend of spooge, smirks and sweetness. | 1 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Naughty and nice is a killer-hard combo to pull off. Stick with Rogen and Banks. They rock it. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Smith's diehard fan base will probably eat this up, but I found it a step in two wrong directions -- not only backwards after seemingly starting to mature a bit as a filmmaker, but also in trying to emulate the Apatow formula (where a heart and/or some charm develops within all of the crudity) that's obviously been far more successful than anything Smith has released. | 8 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a modest success for Kevin Smith, due in large part to the charm of Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. | 13 | |
