Zack And Miri Make A Porno (2008)

to be honest, i only stumbled upon this movie through Brandon Routh's imdb page - i've been a bit interested in him since Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night, and when i first looked at Zack And Miri Make A Porno i thought it was going to be the same sort of comedy as Step Brothers, which i didn't really think was any good, but this was actually kind of adorable, yet hilarious at the same time. 
So basically Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) have been friends forever, so after meeting a gay porn star (Justin Long) at their high school reunion, they decide it'd be a really good idea to make a porno, in order to pay off all their debts. so obviously there's all the hilarity and nudity of them picking their stars and crew, and piecing it all together, and things go wrong but they manage to sort it all out, and then of course it gets to Zack and Miri's sex scene. 
this was so awkward, i didn't know if i should be laughing or hiding my face in my pillow, so i ended up doing a sort of mash of the two. i love Seth Rogan for scenes like this though, because to be honest i think this sort of character is when he just comes into his own. i loved him in Superbad and The Green Hornet but i think Zack And Miri Make A Porno is his best one yet, and his character was adorable.
It ended up actually being really sweet, and although at the beginning i couldn't see either of them sleeping together, by the end i was routing for them to make cute tiny little babies together. or at least just some sort of happy ever after... Elizabeth Banks is, of course, beautiful and her character just completely kicked ass. i honestly wouldn't mind being more like her. i loved all the little side characters; they're crew and the porn stars - normally i find at least one person annoying, but everyone in this was hilarious and fitted completely. i'd say it's probably not a film to watch with your parents, because that might get a bit awkward, but i'm definitely going to watch this again.

of course, this is all just my opinion.. feel free to disagree...ܤ
