Released in 2008.
I really enjoyed the movie. Romantic comedy is quite a departure for Kevin Smith but then this romantic comedy is in some ways quite a departure from the genre itself. Two friends fall in love while they make a porno to make ends meet. It's very po-mo and extremely irreverent, not to mention a great set up for comedy. But it was a let down in other ways since the logic of the romantic comedy genre had to win over and in the end the porno subplot was quite unceremoniously thrown into a closet so that the hero and the heroine could have their perfectly cliched, foot-popping moment. Gag!
