Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno Earns NC-17 Rating

It comes as little surprise that Kevin Smith’s latest undertaking, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” has earned an NC-17 rating. By title alone, it seemed unlikely that the MPAA would give it an R-rating.
The MPAA gave “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” the NC-17 rating for “some graphic sexuality.”
Not for lack of trying, Kevin Smith is still trying to get an R-rating, as noted on MPAA’s site, which says “Pending Appeal.” But will Kevin Smith have to sacrifice his original vision to snag the R-rating?
