"A bawdy sex comedy with heart," as Smith describes the just-completed script, "Zack and Miri" is about two friends who have managed to trudge into their 30s with a satisfying lack of accomplishment [Vince's note: Shocking subject matter for a Kevin Smith movie, for sure]. But a 15-year high school reunion and dire rent problems spark the novel moneymaking idea of pulling together an amateur porn enterprise. As for where it goes from there, just think of Smith's characteristic sexual verbosity finally coupled with matching imagery.
What can I say, it's not exactly a novel idea, unless if by novel you mean Porno, the Irvine Welsh novel, and I've been disappointed by just about every Kevin Smith movie; but what the hell, I'll bite. I guess I'm stupid like that.
I think it's this clip of him talking about Superman that always give me hope for Kevin Smith movies.

That is an excellent clip. I notice Jon Peters, Mr. “write your Superman script without the Superman costume or any flying” is still credited on Superman Returns, but his bass-ackwards ideas were thankfully removed.
Kevin Smith has had some severe clunkers, but mostly I like his movies. My crush on Rosario Dawson totally comes from Clerks 2.
