- 78Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenSmith gives the appearance of wanting to provoke, but along with his smuttiness, he wears his heart on his sleeve.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliFor 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."
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsZack and Miri has a bright, chipper look to it, thanks to cinematographer Dave Klein, a frequent Smith colleague. Wintertime in Pittsburgh never looked so good.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSeth 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.
- 75Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversNaughty and nice is a killer-hard combo to pull off. Stick with Rogen and Banks. They rock it.
- 70VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyIt would be too much to say that what Smith has come up with here is inspired, but it is pretty funny and very energetic.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttDespite shortcomings and implausibility linked to their roles as written, Rogen and Banks come off with surprising charm and grace.
- 60Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe biggest titters at a recent preview screening came during a scene in which Mewes shows off his dick--as though, at last! Still, how Jason Segal of him. Does Apatow always get there first?
- 42Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA Smith production is always noisy, shambling, and liberally smutty on the outside while conservatively gooey on the inside.
- 40New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinIt's written and directed by Kevin Smith--and hats off to him for being savvy enough to go for a piece of the Apatow action! Too bad he doesn't rise to the occasion.
