Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks play platonic roommates in Pittsburgh, best friends since grade school who think of each other practically as brother and sister, who can't afford to pay their rent and utilities on their measly salaries. Hiring a buddy to finance a sex flick, they hope to get into the lucrative porno business--but discover to their surprise they share deep-rooted romantic feelings for one another after having sex for the first time. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, this is a modern-day, plain-spoken comedy of no particular merit, but a great many profane, politically-incorrect put-downs and sight-gags. Smith has concocted a funny set-up--and with willing players--but "Zack and Miri" is a one-act comedy with nowhere to turn after the first forty or so minutes. Just when the audience expects the comic ideas to be heightened, the film comes crashing down in a sea of character implausibilities and uncomfortable sentiment. Gross-out jokes can certainly be partnered with sweet sensibilities if the handling is right, but nothing in the film's first-half prepares us for what transpires. Rogen and Banks end up portraying completely different people, a couple who don't even need to appear in their own production (they've already hired a cast). When a comedy makes no logical or emotional sense, nothing else in it has a hope in hell of succeeding. *1/2 from ****
