It's always disheartening when you find out that a movie you enjoyed greatly, failed to perform at the box office and so is the case with Zach and Miri make a Porno. I found the film to be hilarious, with some great and surprising moments that made it fun. I love Kevin Smith movies, but even I was surprised at how well his non-regulars did in his little universe.
That being said, it was kind of sad to hear the movie made only about 30 million something at the box office. Being 20 years old and from the norteast, I guess I take for granted how open minded me and my friends are to stuff. Things like that mean almost nothing to use and a chance to see on screen nudity isn't a big a deal to us as it is to other people. I ponder why the movie did so poorly and I gues the whole porno aspect is the only one that makes sense.
Which is a total shame seeing as the movie is hilarious, and I will forever follow the legend of the Dutch Rudder

I completely agree, Zach & Miri is an awesome flick. I hate to nit-pick but I feel the need to correct you on a few things. I am one of the biggest Kevin Smith's fan so I have seen him speak many times. The flick "only" made $31,000,000 which to some may be disappointing when you see other films pacing the $100 mill mark like nothing. However, this film only cost about $13,000,000 to make so they have already made back their investment plus some. Factor in the DVD sales, this film will be far far into the black. Smith always says that if he even breaks even at the box office (his films have always surpasses there budget at the box office) then that is solid because his films have a following and have always sold well on DVD. Thus Zach & Miri is actually quite the opposite from a flop and a completle success, all things considered.
