Pittsburgh Porn

Amy and I saw a movie yesterday. Yes, an actual movie, in a theater, with other people, and it was a porno. Kevin Smith’s new brainchild Zack and Miri Make a Porno to be exact. Amy likes, but does not love, Kevin Smith films, which is a bit strange because she basically lives with his doppelganger. Kevin likes dick jokes, I like dick jokes. Kevin likes chicks in hockey sweaters, I like chicks in hockey sweaters. Kevin likes showing Jason Mewes naked on the big screen, I like chicks in hockey sweaters, and we both have a thing for girls who say aboot.

In the opening scene, Elizabeth Banks gets out of bed wearing nothing but a blue Penguins throwback jersey, and then Seth Rogan is seen in front of a Penguins Stanley Cup Banner. Awesome! The city, the Penguins, the Monroeville Mall and Iron City beer, or Iron Shitty as the natives call it, all get a good amount of screen time. The movie has enough laughs, but underneath all the tits and sex jokes it’s essentially a formulaic romantic comedy. It’s worth renting, but not quite strong enough to see in the theater.
