Kevin Smith's 'Couple of Dicks' may get new title

DateSaturday, July 25, 2009 at 11:19PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in A Couple of Dicks

Kevin Smith's next comedy is called "A Couple of Dicks," but according to the filmmaker, that title may change before the film opens in theaters Feb. 26, 2009.

At Comic-Con, Smith said some television networks refuse to air spots for the film before 9 p.m. The reason: the title, of course.

Smith already had trouble marketing his previous flick "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." In many ads, the film's title was changed to "Zack and Miri."

Apparently, nobody learned a valuable lesson here, and consequently, "Dicks" will likely be retitled. By the way, the networks with wet pants are ABC, NBC and CBS.

'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' web reviews

DateFriday, October 31, 2008 at 8:12AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Kevin Smith returns to the big screen with "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," in which Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks decide to make a porno in order to get rid off their growing debt. You can read Joseph's review right here. Also, let's see what other online critics have to say about it:

• Cinematical's Scott Weinberg: "If the movie falters a few time near the finish line (with a third act that's a bit too conventional for a guy like Kevin Smith), it's a small gripe in the face of a flick that delivers lots of big, strong laughs"

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "Zack and Miri Make a Porno has the Kevin Smith vibe to it, but its conceit almost seems to get in the way of itself as this over-the-top sex comedy ramps up only to see Smith overcompensate the more risqué humor with a sticky sweet love story that gets quite sappy."

Review: "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"

DateFriday, October 31, 2008 at 7:07AM | By AuthorJoseph Bélanger

Seen on: October 29, 2008

The players: Director: Kevin Smith, Writer: Kevin Smith, Cast: Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, Katie Morgan, Craig Robinson

Facts of interest: "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" was originally slapped with a NC-17 rating.

The plot: In order to take care of their growing debt, lifelong best friends Zack and Miri decide to make a porno.

Our thoughts: Just in time for Halloween, one of the original independent filmmakers, Kevin Smith, gives us something truly frightening … Seth Rogen in a porno. No offence to Seth; I think he’s cuddly and all, but porn material, I think not. Or maybe I’ve just been out of the straight porn-watching world for so long that this is what porn has come to. That said, I doubt I’ll be making a trip to my local video shop later to catch up on everything I’ve missed.

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO

Who's in it? Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Mewes, Katie Morgan, Craig Robinson, Justin Long

What is it about? Two lifelong friends decide to make a porno in order to wipe out their debt.

Excited? Very much so. Although early reviews are mixed, I'm quite excited to see Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks team up to make their porno version of "Star Wars." Could be very funny indeed.

'Zack and Miri' get a new poster

DateSaturday, September 13, 2008 at 6:35AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

After the utterly ridiculous decision by the MPAA to ban the first poster for Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," the film's design team came up with an awesome new one-sheet. It may not be as provocative as the poster you will now only see in Canada (and probably in every other country not suffering from the MPAA's decisions), but it sure is a great way to make the best out of the situation. Check it out below and enjoy the film in theaters Oct. 31, 2008.
