Seriously??! Go see Zack and Miri

Just read this article on Yahoo news about Zack and Miri make a Porno It's about a theatre in Utah that banned the movie because of graphic nudity and sex and because it was too close to an NC-17 rating.. Things I found interesting in the article:
  • "The company's standards seem a little odd considering that the chain had no problems screening ultra-violent fare like "Saw V," which features beheadings and explicit self-mutilation. When asked why Megaplex Theaters did not object to the gory horror sequel, Gunderson had no comment."
  • "Kevin Smith's surprisingly tame and sentimental movie has a few flashes of nudity, a handful of love scenes played mostly for laughs, and a whole lot of foul language. In fact, the film's raunchiness level is comparable to that of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", "Knocked Up" and "Sex Drive," all of which screened at Megaplex theaters."

And the BEST PART of the article. Keep in mind what was just said about Zack and Miri Make a Porno and the movie Sex Drive.

  • "As a footnote to this story, this past weekend an audience full of children and pre-teens expecting to see the G-rated "High School Musical 3" at one of Miller's theaters in South Jordan, UT were surprised when the beginning of the R-rated "Sex Drive," which features nudity and swearing, was shown accidentally. But at least they didn't see Seth Rogen in his underwear."

In the words of Seth and Amy, Really? You refuse to screen a film because it's name has the word porno in it, but will play a movie called Sex Drive and then accidently play it to a bunch a kids there to see HSM3, Really?

By the way, Zack and Miri Make a Porno is absolutely hillarious! I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a really long time. I was bent over, almost falling out of my chair a couple times. It is definitely Kevin Smith humour, it's vulgar and crude, but oh so good! Please go see this movie. It's getting a lot of flack for its 10.7 million opening weekend. It's being considered a flop even though it was only 5 million behind HSM3, Please go see this film. It's worth the money!
