Kevin Smith is at his funniest, backed by a motley cast, including Craig
Robinson (The Office), Jason Mewes (Clerks films), Justin

Writer/Director Kevin Smith had quite a few battles with
the MPAA while making this movie. When he first submitted this movie to
the MPAA they slapped him with an NC-17 rating for all the swearing and
nudity seen in this movie. Smith then re-edited the entire movie and again
received the same movie-killing rating. He then appealed the decision and
after several meetings finally got them to overturn their ruling and award
him an R rating. But his battles were not over, when he released the poster
for the movie it showed Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks fully clothed with
their heads near each other's crotches (see image "A" above) and the MPAA
banned the poster stating that it suggested oral sex. In response to this
he released posters that poked fun at all the controversy surrounding the
film and posters. The first was a poster featuring nothing but stick figures
standing far apart (see image "B" above), and the other features the two
actors smiling and surrounded by animated animals and a smiling sun (see
image "C" above). Even after all of this the battles still did not end,
the city of Philadelphia refused to allow any poster in the city because
the title had the word "Porno" in it. Kevin Smith then offered to make
a special poster just for them that called the movie just Zack And Miri
and they city still would not allow any advertising in the city limit.
When the movie finally came out many theater owners across the country
refused to show the film, believing that because the movie was almost an
NC-17 movie that even if the decision was over-turned it was still too
lude for an R rating.

The Weinsteins, who have a long history with Kevin Smith,
green-lit this movie after hearing the title and without ever seeing a
script.
-
Kevin Smith has said that he wrote this movie with Seth Rogen
in mind, and if Rogen declined the role that the film never would have
been made.
-
In this movie the cast tries to make a porn version of Star
Wars called Star Whores. One of the actresses that appears in
the scene is real-life porn actress Katie Morgan, who has appeared in an
actual porn based on Star Trek called Sex Trek: Where No Man
Has Cum B4.
