Sissy Taylor This movie is in my top 5. One of the best comedies ever. Way better than Knocked Up. I don't know why this got low scores, the whole theater was going crazy back when I saw it. I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen, but I loved this movie! It's about a stoner who witnessed a murder, and him and his dealer are on the run. Both are stoned in every single scene. You feel for the characters, who are very lovable and the development takes the plot from absurdity to laugh-out-loud humor. I hate slapstick, but this so well done. James Franco is so darn hot, he's absolutely sizzling in this movie. His laid-back drug dealer character is hilarious, but as innocent as a puppy. His smile is an iconic movie landmark. He is so funny as the drug dealer and him and Rogan have great chemistry together All in all, Pineapple Express is a blast, with an endearing quality. Anyone that doesn't find this movie funny...I feel bad for you

Brandon Driesen It is a great movie of which i think is more of a stoner comedy. Suited for any age. It shows a great performance by (in real life friends) Seth Rogen and James Franco. While also a very good performance by Danny Mcbride. It is a movie that gives way to the 2014 "the interview" where Seth Rogen and James Franco play again side by side.It is a easy to watch stoner comedy with a good story but makes much room for comedy which are used to from Seth Rogen. It is a great movie to watch in the weekend nights if you just want to relax. And not worry about to complicated story lines and just laugh while all of the movie happens.

powermandan Pineapple Express is one of the many Judd Apatow comedy classics. It is also one of the few that he has done with no sexuality. But there is lots of profanity, drug use and violence. But they are all mixed together in a way that is legitimately funny and not mindless. Sure the characters are dumb stoners, but what comedy doesn't feature dumb characters?Seth Rogen stars as process server, Dale Denton who smokes pot when not delivering subpoenas. His dealer, Saul Silver, gives him a sneak peek at a new brand of weed called "pineapple express." We get a good look in the lives of Dale and Saul. They chill out and deliver killer dialogue that always make my sides ache. When Dale accidentally witnesses a drug lord (Gary Cole) and crooked cop (Perez) murder Asian competition, he tosses his roach and takes Saul on the run with him because the drug could easily be linked to them. That is when the movie starts taking off and becomes its own. Before this, it is almost like any other Judd Apatow movie or late night comedy. Difference is, the beginning of this is much funnier. The drug lord and cop think that Dale and Saul are working for the Asians and try to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dale and Saul go on the run and take the middle man, Red (Danny McBride), with them. As the movie progresses, the elements of danger and drama rise, with the laughs subsiding. There's lots of action and seriousness that helps this stand apart from other adult comedies. The entertainment doesn't stop, we just get a new kind. The laughs don't go away, so the movie does not lose its focus.

david-sarkies Ever since I watched 'This is the End' I have been itching to see Pineapple Express (namely because they film a 'sequel' in that film). So, when the local cult movie cinema decided to run a double feature of The Interview and this film I was there with bells on. However, to my dismay, Pineapple Express simply did not live up to my expectations. Okay, it wasn't a bad film per se, however it certainly wasn't one of Rogan's best. To me it seemed to be little more than an excuse of having copious amounts of marijuana being smoked on film.Okay, this was probably one of his first films, which is probably why it didn't appeal to me all that much, but I suspect if I was a lot younger, and still hanging around a certain crowd, we would have lapped this film up. The reason being because it was, well, an excuse for smoking copious amounts of marijuana on the big screen. However, unlike a lot of his other films, I didn't think that it was all that funny. Okay, while Rogan's comedy tends to be quite puerile, that puerile part of me simply cannot help but laughing, yet that did not seem to be present in this film.Pineapple Express is basically about marijuana. Well, it's not about marijuana in the sense that Acapulco Gold is about marijuana, but rather it is about a strain of really potent marijuana that gets our uninspiring heroes into a lot of trouble. Rogan plays a process server (a job that seems really cool, but pays pittance) and his comrade in arms is, well, a drug dealer. Anyway, Rogan is going to serve some guy named Ted Jones, who as it turns out is a big time drug dealer, but gets into trouble when he witnesses Jones and a female cop (that's her name) kill some Asian guy. Rogan flees, but leaves his doobie lying on the ground which means that Jones is able to track Rogan and his friend down because it is, well, Pineapple Express, and Ted has only sold Pineapple Express to one guy.Thus this is what the movie becomes – a couple of no hopers stumbling around Los Angeles trying to keep themselves alive while attempting to get the better of the villain. Sound familiar? Well, that is because it is familiar since it is the basic plot of quite a few other films that I have seen. Okay, those films may not have the main characters smoking as much marijuana as they do in this film, but in the end if that is what sets this film apart from the multitude of other films with a similar plot then, well, all I can say that it is not all that fantastic.
