The Onion (A.V. Club) | Noel MurrayAdd Critic to Favorites

The film is clumsily unfunny at times--particularly when Smith makes tone-deaf efforts at gay-and black-themed comedy--and it's occasionally gross just for the sake of being gross.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks make a lovable couple; she's pretty and goes one-for-one on the bleep language, and Rogen, how can I say this, is growing on me, the big lug.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

Naughty and nice is a killer-hard combo to pull off. Stick with Rogen and Banks. They rock it.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter HartlaubAdd Critic to Favorites

Along with the awkward romantic exchanges that always seem to find their way into Smith's movies, there's also a sweetness that you don't often see in films that average multiple f-words per minute.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

For two-thirds of its running length, Zack and Miri is vintage Smith - profane humor that knows no boundaries and obeys no rules. What's most amazing about Smith's barrage of hard-R jokes isn't the range of subjects he covers, but how few of them "miss."Read the full review

Variety | Todd McCarthyAdd Critic to Favorites

It would be too much to say that what Smith has come up with here is inspired, but it is pretty funny and very energetic.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

Rudely silly rather than transgressively shocking, Zack and Miri is the sort of bawdy but fundamentally decent farce you could take Grandma to, provided Grandma were familiar with the oeuvre of Traci Lords.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk HoneycuttAdd Critic to Favorites

Despite shortcomings and implausibility linked to their roles as written, Rogen and Banks come off with surprising charm and grace.Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

In spite of its sometimes tiresome, sometimes amusing lewdness, follows a gee-whiz romantic-comedy formula that would not be out of place on the Disney Channel.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Longs to be a smutty film with a heart of gold. Instead, it's a funny concept whose execution does not live up to its potential.Read the full review
