a porno with heart

Last weekend I went and saw Kevin Smith's new film Zack and Miri Make A Porno. Although I enjoyed it, for some reason the film felt kind weird. I don't really know how to describe it. The film had a really indie feel to it at first. The music that Smith used sounded like something off of the original Clerks soundtrack, it was cool. But as the movie kicked in something felt weird about it. I don't whether it was the acting or what. The acting did seem kinda off, which is weird. The dialogue in the first scene with Craig Robinson and Seth Rogen just seemed forced. Weird, coming from two very very talented comedic actors. A lot of thefilm felt this way. Maybe I just need to see it again. Even though it was writen and directed by Kevin Smith, it really didn't feel like a Kevin Smith film. I mean... I don't know, it DID feel like one, but at the same time it didn't. Maybe it's because a good handfull of the actors are from Judd Apatow's films. It did feel kinda like a Judd Apatow film... weird, as Apatow has stated Kevin Smith as being one of his influences. I guess it's not weird. I need to go see this film again before I say anymore. That's the conclusion I've come to.
