    A smart and funny joint!

    Pineapple Express starts out with a hilarious Refer Madness-like clip, featuring SNL's Bill Hader, of the government's tests on marijuana back in the forties. The scene establishes the entire mindset of the movie and from there it just builds into one huge thunderclap of hilarity. Seth Rogen (Dale) and James Franco (Saul) are just flat out funny as a burn-out process server and his dealer respectively. The script weaves all the paranoia and stream of consciousness thinking of being high - "Hold on, I have an idea!" - into a mad cap chase from the bad drug dealer they're running from. Rosie Perez does a superbly funny job playing the bad cop and Gary Cole shows his underappreciated range as the Drug Lord Ted Jones. Every time she leaves a scene you wish Amber Heard, Dale's High School Girl Friend, was in more and Danny McBride adds a whole 'nother layer of silliness as Red the drug middle man. See it! Bring some food, snacks, fruit roll ups!

    Go!

    I thought it was freaking hilarious. The first half was way funnier and faster-paced than the second half, but the second half was by no means a letdown. There were some parts that made me laugh until I cried, which is awesome. But it felt long at an hour and 45 minutes!

    James Franco is a revelation!
