A smart and funny joint!

by saintandrew

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!

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!

Rolling in the aisles!

by Laskinns

First of all, if you don't like stoner comedy then WTF are you doing going to see this anyways?!?! This movie was by far one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I laughed uncontrolably through the entire movie. Franco plays one of the best stoners ever...he is so believable...he had to have been high for real. & of course Seth Rogan (love him) is hilarious!!! Together, they make it hard not to laugh. The idea of making a stoner action film is genius. A +++ for creativity & rollin' in the aisles funny!

Pinapple Express

by lnash2

Hilarious! Didn't know the movie was based on pot smoking but still very funny. Would recommend it for audiences over 13 definitely. Saw some younger children in the audience and they didn't seem to get it

I laughed so hard I cried.

by danni23

I have never been compelled to write a review for a movie in my life.
Especially not a stoner comedy. But this movie was so funny I was doubled over laughing so hard I couldn't make noise, pretty much the whole way through. Seth Rogen played himself, and James Franco was funnier than I ever imagined he could be, based on his other movies, So bottom line is, if you enjoy laughing...see this movie. It is definitely worth the $10.

Pineapple Express

by necca

This movie is hilarious! My sons and their friends ( all over 17) thought so too. Danny McBride is awesome, and you should also see him in The Foot Fist Way, and Tropic Thunder. He's a comic genius! James Franco is cute and really funny----Go See it!

hilariously funny!!

by GRSONE

OMG this was so funny that I almost peed my pants...I swear I couldn't stop laughing...it was nice to Rosie Perez...and it was also nice to see her get punched! LOL Red, Dale, and Saul were awesome threesome treat! From getting shot at to getting high and getting in some sticky situations, gotta say this movie brought the laughs and the action rolling...if you only watch one comedy this year, you have to watch this one! ENJOY!

Perhaps the best stoner comedy ever

by ReceiverofMediums

As a film Pineapple Express is decent enough. It didn't surpass my expectations, but it didn't fall short of them either. Many can agree that it was a hilarious enough performance from James Franco, performing a less glamorous role than we're used to seeing him in, and Seth & David's writing was like it always is; semi-real and funny enough. The story follows almost exactly the same formula as its predecessor Superbad; two guys, conflict, escalation, falling out, bromance, one literally carrying the other to safety, and the morning after. This however worked a second time in a different setting. I don't think the formula is old yet. After all many good directors have reused the basic formula from their previous movies succesfully (e.g. The Coen Brothers with Blood Simple and Fargo or Woody Allen with Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point). As a film it ranks somewhere near the top of the middle. As a stoner comedy, it ranks top, even beating Half Baked & Up in Smoke.

friggin hilaaaaaaarious!!!

by lkkekua

Beginning to end this movie was a total crack up. I half expected it to be a lame re-make of White Castle, soo not the case! There were times where the entire theater was buss laughing, like seriously non-stop pretty much in the isle rolling around... laughing. Okay, maybe not that extreme but definitely some real good stuff. I absolutely plan on watching this one a few more times. BTW, contrary to what a lot of people are saying about this movie, I enjoyed it completely sober. I think if you were under the influence of ANY substance you probably wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the entertainment this movie provides(LOL).

I went into the movie stoked to see it but it ended up being a total disappointment. Wouldn't recommend it.. even if you had smoked some pineapple express...

Skeptical...but pleeeeeeased!!

by kb1110054

I ********** loved this movie. I probably laughed every 10 seconds if not MORE!! As I said in my tilte, I was skeptical at first. I didn't want to go to a movie that was semi-funny, that I would have to force myself to laugh at-but this was not the case. Pineapple Express ROCKED!!
GO CHECK IT OUT!!!
