All in all it's a modern-day, Kevin Smith fairytale: a big-screen bearing, perhaps, of his soul at its sincerest and wittiest, if not filthiest.

Smith may have pioneered this kind of upfront sex chat, but the Apatow team refined it. 'Zack and Miri' feels uncomfortably like a gruesome game of filth-talk oneupmanship, and it's hard to care who comes out on top.
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Rotten
It's one thing for a movie to be dirty; it's another thing altogether for it to be plain sloppy.
Christopher Orr, The New Republic
Rotten
Kevin Smith turns out to be reverent after all: he wants to separate true love from mere copulating for money, but his story mixes romance and porn so inextricably that he seems confused, and the movie trips over its own conceits.
David Denby, New Yorker

Everyone on screen seems to be having so much fun.
