film's content is risky but it works
Zack Brown and Miriam Linky are platonic best friends, roommates, and underachievers who've known each other since the first grade. They're both perfectly content with their below average status, until they find themselves eyeball deep in debt and facing the threat of eviction. The solution? Make an adult video hoping it will provide the financial stability they so desperately need, but can their lifelong friendship survive the complication of sex? On the surface this raunchy comedy is nothing more than an outrageously vulgar, foulmouthed version of When Harry met Sally, but at its heart is a sweet, genuine, and believable analysis of the frailties prevalent in a male-female friendship. Not always uproariously funny, but easily likable with a script that challenges viewers to keep track of enough sexually explicit dialogue for three films! Rogen and Banks have great chemistry. ***

Trivia

A portion of the plot is based on Kevin Smith's experience making Clerks (1994): a very low budget, working only with friends, using a hockey stick as a boom microphone pole, and shooting the movie at his job (the Quick Stop and RST Video in Clerks (1994), and the Bean 'N' Gone coffee shop in this film).

Quotes

Deacon: Can you believe THIS shit? That chick frosted me like I was a fucking cake!

Goofs

When we first meet Deacon, he's playing hockey and hits a player and is sent to the penalty box. In hockey, goalies do not serve their penalty, another player serves it for them.

Crazy Credits

An infomercial for "Zack and Miri Make YOUR Porno" interrupts the closing credits.
