This movie is in my top 5. The first time i saw this movie, I watched it 3 times in a row and laughed non-stop every time. The jokes are side splitting, the action is exciting and funny, and as a casual weed smoker; incredibly realistic script.

One of my favorite movies of 2008....over the top in every area: comedy, action, violence...expect a wild ride...and if you go in expecting a typical comedy you're really in for a ride.

The David Gordon Green directed "Pineapple Express" tells the story of Dale Denton (Rogen) and Saul Silver (Franco), two pot-smoking friends who end up becoming deeply involved with a gang ruthless drug dealers. Now, I had always heardThe David Gordon Green directed "Pineapple Express" tells the story of Dale Denton (Rogen) and Saul Silver (Franco), two pot-smoking friends who end up becoming deeply involved with a gang ruthless drug dealers. Now, I had always heard "Pineapple Express" was a brilliant blend of genres, and that's what it is - a great stoner comedy that successfully blends buddy-action elements into it's story. The script was hilarious, as it's written by Seth Rogen himself and fellow successful screenwriter Evan Goldberg. The comedic elements written into said script ,although low-brow and often dark, came off as very breezy and ended up being one of the key factors of appeal for the film. Though the best part about the film, for me, was the really believable chemistry between James Franco and Seth Rogen. The two have worked together before on the cult television series "Freaks And Geeks", and their real-life friendship transfers very beautifully on film. Surprisingly enough, the movie also featured a sufficient amount of thrills and action - especially towards the end. Overall, I found "Pineapple Express" to be a delightfully funny buddy-stoner-action-comedy that brought the laughs and surprises in shovelfuls.… Expand

Words to Frannie(Meg Ryan) in Jane Campion's unfairly maligned "In the Cut" is what smoking weed means to Dale Denton(Seth Rogen); these disparate labors of love are their passions. Late in the Campion film, the Virginia Woolf scholar Words to Frannie(Meg Ryan) in Jane Campion's unfairly maligned "In the Cut" is what smoking weed means to Dale Denton(Seth Rogen); these disparate labors of love are their passions. Late in the Campion film, the Virginia Woolf scholar literally goes to the lighthouse, a decontextualized lighthouse which is then appropriated for the site of the movie's climax. Relevance to this stoner flick, you ask, from the guy who graced the indie world in 2000 with his Terrence Malick-like "George Washington"(a meditative and lyrical film about Atlantan youth that couldn't be any more different than this Cheech-and-Chong-have-feelings-too farce)? Well, in "Pineapple Express", Dale ends up at a massive greenhouse of cannabis plants and wonders aloud if he's in El Dorado(which is alluded to in "Heart of Darkness", both "To the Lighthouse" and the Joseph Conrad novel are modernist texts). Like the lighthouse in the Campion film, the isolated farmhouse that harbors the drugs have a hallucinatory texture to the narrative. Both "In the Cut" and "Pineapple Express" are thrillers, and if genres have genders, a film that's steeped in action could be characterized as being male in the narrative sense. Unbeknownst to the people who green-lighted the "Meg Ryan's Gone Wild" vehicle that stalled both women's careers, Campion feminized the masculine storyline by rupturing the text with static talk(the dialogue-heavy scenes between Ryan and Jennifer Jason-Leigh), instead of action. "Pineapple Express" subverts the male narrative, too; most pointedly, in the woods, where Dale and Saul(as in the late-Saul Bellow, perhaps?) are incapacitated by their drug-induced state to do anything to advance the plot. Just like Campion(the feminist auteur from Australia who's best known for "The Piano"), this filmmaker isn't afraid of making narrative detours that rebels heartily against story convention, by foregrounding scenes which would be more at home in a "chick-flick"(Rogen, James Franco, and Danny R. McBride aren't afraid to express their feelings like women) than a violent action-thriller, mostly played for laughs. Not only is the film transgressive, but the filmmaker's inclinations, as well. Films such as the aforementioned "George Washington", and "All the Real Girls", were a breath of fresh air because they came out during a time when the bastard children of Quentin Tarantino were at their loudest and brattiest. In "Pineapple Express", the poetry of "Badlands" has been replaced by the poetry slam of the post-modernist "Pulp Fiction". And wouldn't you know it, Red(Danny R. McBride) has a CUT on his lip("In the Cut" is slang for vagina; Dale describes the strain of pot called Pineapple Express, as God's vagina).… Expand

Red is possibly the greatest character since Michael Corleone and Danny McBride deserves the best supporting actor oscar more than Ledger. Would have given this a 10 if not for Bill Hader showing up at the beginning and almost ruining the movie.

Seth Rogen once again hits the screen as the goofy lovable lead character but this time he's joined by James Franco who turns in his most entertaining performance to date as the constantly high easy-going Saul. The whole movie is chock full of gags and whether you're a stoner or not chances are (if you have a sense of humor) you'll enjoy watching these misfits make some of the silliest, most cliched decisions on earth that simply DO NOT WORK in the land of reality and being blazed simply encourages them to commit these idiotic acts. Something that DID really surprise me was the level of violence in the film, which at times is a bit excessive but usually a gag follows shortly after to eliminate the weirdness of gratuitous violence overshadowing comedy. Overall, this is a VERY enjoyable movie with an endearing quality about it, watching the two leads (both goofballs) converse and slowly become pals is poetry in motion. Highly recommended......and a warning, you may get the munchies.… Expand

A great movie if you have a positive mental association with marijuana. A funny movie if you are neutral to the topic. Probably a poor choice if you disdain hippies and drug use. Mostly realistic but a hair corny or unrealistic at a couple points.

The genius but absurdity that comes with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg is now a welcome relief to the cinema, breathing life into buddy movies and creating one of the funniest drug-related films in recent memory.
Seth Rogan plays Dale, whoThe genius but absurdity that comes with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg is now a welcome relief to the cinema, breathing life into buddy movies and creating one of the funniest drug-related films in recent memory.
Seth Rogan plays Dale, who teams up with his drug dealer pal Saul, played by James Franco, who puts a very new and hilarious performance as the unorthodox dealer, who must go on the run with Dale after Dale witnesses a murder, a simple premise, with plenty of drug use, realistic and observational comedy where the humour borders on obscene and absurd. While the plot does offer serious turns in tone, it's the 'bromance" and chemistry between Franco and Rogen that keeps the film ticking on, with the usual suspects involved, gunfights, drug war and Seth Rogan using references to other films and celebrities to defuse a serious situation. The title is where the trouble of the film starts, a rare form of marajuana that Saul gets his hands on, but manages to reach Ted (Gary Cole), a dangerous man working with a corrupt cop Where the film truly shows strength is its visual stimuli and situations it creates for our characters to seize the opportunity to make us laugh, smashing a guys head into a wall, putting the same person through his own sink, a dealer who needs to put on hip hop music to get into his dealing 'zone', but turns it back to soulful music when his buyers have left.
If people aren't satisfied from the drug abuse angle, because lets face it these guys are high for the most part of the film, they should be satisfied with the comedy on offer, its nice to see the diversity that Franco has to offer, and also how he can fit into the Seth Rogan 'friend' routine, where these guys just talk to each other as if they aren't filming, but just sitting having a drink. Also making a hilarious turn is Danny McBride, who simply wants to have a group of pals to hang out with, its a clever way to make the film more approachable and relatable in hilarious fashion.
One of the most irreverent but bang on funny films of its time, counting to parody many films of the genre but managing to use its own wit against them.… Expand

FromI am certainly no stoner, but Pineapple Express is hysterical. Off-the-wall, odd, absurd, and delightful, Pineapple Express is an over-the-top stoner comedy with on point comedy, comedic timing, and great acting from James Franco. From beginning to end, the film is an absolute riot. I typically detest comedy, but this one worked perfectly. The cast had great chemistry with one another and though the characters, plot, and film are absolutely the dumbest I have seen in a while, the energy and aesthetic of the film are undeniably infectious. James Franco turns in a characteristically charismatic performance and really steals the show as a drug dealer who is absolutely hysterical. He has phenomenal one-liners and comedic timing that leave you in stitches repeatedly, though the cast does. I never expected to actually come away liking this film. Yet, here I am. Pineapple Express is an absolute riot with a solid plot, likeable characters, and terrific comedy writing.… Expand

Pineapple Express is blast.
From start to finish Pineapple Express is filled with raunchy humor and great dialogue. There are moments with great action and overall it is a very solid R rated comedy that dips its toes in a little bit of everything.

The movie was funny, not bad acted at all and really entertaining. What else would you ask for from a stoner comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco?

There's not one Seth Rogen featured movie that doesn't make me chuckle. This is the same. One of the best of the stoner films and the action films are very comedic.

I watched this movie a few days ago only because Amber Heard is in it and I'm happy to say that she did not disappoint. The movie itself, generally speaking, is subpar as far as stoner comedies go but the performances of Heard (as AngieI watched this movie a few days ago only because Amber Heard is in it and I'm happy to say that she did not disappoint. The movie itself, generally speaking, is subpar as far as stoner comedies go but the performances of Heard (as Angie Anderson), Rosie Perez (as Carol), and Danny McBride (as Red) were outstanding. As for James Franco, his performance as Saul Silver was, to put it bluntly, a good argument for why he has no business at all doing comedy. And it's perhaps because of this poor performance by Franco that Seth Rogen (as Dale Denton) did not manage to come across as funny as one may have expected.

The reason I found Heard's performance particularly outstanding was because of her uncanny ability to balance the naivete in Angie with a seriousness and sense of responsibility that speaks to the multidimensional nature of girls of Angie's age. I also found her dynamic with Rogen's character and with Angie's parents to have been fun to watch. Additionally, when one compares Heard's performance in this movie with those in the movies that she had done in the prior years since she began her acting career in 2004, it's undeniable how much growth as an actress she displays in it. And, I found it interesting and an attestation to her directorial abilities that it was Heard that came up with the "hold my shorts" idea in the scene where Angie and Dale meet for the first time in her school. I mean, that move does a lot to increase tension and comedy in the scene.

As for Rosario Perez's performance, I think that it's highly underrated because her performance, together with Danny McBride's, were the only ones that managed to give me some good solid laughs throughout the movie. That said, one thing that I do not like about the movie is its glamorization or normalization of the sexual exploitation and abuse of girls by much older men. Indeed, Heard herself seems to have found this problematic as one notices from her discomfort whenever the Angie-Dale relationship is raised during her promotional interviews for the movie. I also didn't like the movie's glamorization of the American drug culture (a problem with most stoner comedies no doubt), particularly among school-going children. Its poor racial and gender representations were also an issue for me.

Despite these problems, I choose to give the movie an 8 just because of Heard's performance and notable contributions to it as well Perez's and McBride's unexpectedly awesome performances.… Expand

A lot of the humor comes from Seth Rogan who does a great job with the material he’s given especially when he has to shout and overreact. James Franco is surprisingly funny too as the drug dealer and him and Rogan have good chemistry together. I also enjoyed the other characters such as the cops. The best humor for me came whenever the film got really raunchy especially during the fight scenes, which were always really violent and gorey. If I were to criticize the film though there were a few isseus I had. Red wasn’t in the movie a lot but that’s more the poster leading me to believe he would play a bigger role in the film than he actually did. Also, some scenes in the movie dragged and were not that funny and at other times the humor got a little too stupid for my tastes. The film also does the annoying cliché where two friends get into an argument for no reason and then break up, which is annoying not only because of how out of nowhere the argument is but because you know what is going to happen they will mope and dope and then they’ll get back together. Finally, the film was a little too similar to Evan Goldberg’s Superbad in that it features two guys who get into a jam involving them on a crazy adventure and on the run form the police, there is a side plot involving one or more hilarious police characters, police cars get destroyed, the climax features one character carrying another away from a building and there is emphasis on something that is considered wrong with Superbad’s being underage sex and Pineapple Express’ being marijuana.… Expand

Where Cheech and Chong succeeds in its pure dedication to being ridiculous and funny, Express fails in trying to be a stoner comedy, an action flick, a buddy flick, a relationship flick and ultimately... a movie with a plot. Granted there are some funny moments but the violence that skews the tone of the film, the wandering plot, the unsympathetic characters, the scenes that don't make sense all work against anything this film has going for it. Bottom line, Rogen and Co. as writers are great with dialogue but their lack of concern (or lack of skill) with everything else movie-related is glaring. Next time they should write to their strengths and not try to pull off something their not capable of.… Expand

Even if it was, some highly enlighted viewer must have wondered what the whole girlfiend/girlfriend's family thread was about. As a buddy movie, Seth, James Franco and Danny McBride (Red) make a funny team. The final scene is one of the film's best. Had this not been a Seth Rogan/Judd Apatow collaboration, "Pineapple Express" would have much less than what it is. They both bring unique creative talents to this film and I hope their partnership keeps going. Despite this average effort, even a less-than-superb Apatow/Rogan project is better than 95% of the other crap in theraters these days!… Expand
