Product Description
Two stoners accidentally get involved with a gang of vicious drug dealers.
Amazon.com
The latest bro-mance from team Apatow (the guys who brought us Superbad, Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Pineapple Express is the story of Dale Denton (Seth Rogan) and Saul Silver (James Franco), a pothead and his dealer who accidently get caught up in a drug war between two gangs with some corrupt cops, high-school girls and small-time henchmen thrown in for good measure. At its core, Pineapple Express is a stoner comedy--a tale of two semi-slow giggling and loveable idiots in way over their heads--this formula has made for some entertaining comedy over the years, Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke and Dave Chappell's Half Baked being two of the best examples. What sets Pineapple Express apart from these silly classics however, is the consistency of the humor, the perfect chemistry between Rogan and Franco and the giddily ridiculous action sequences (and the fact that even mild intoxication is not required to enjoy the humor). The movie retains the sweetness that is present in most of Apatow's films, making the characters' poor choices and ultra-violent actions somehow justifiable, or at least relatable. The site gags, pop-culture references and perfectly timed non-sequiturs only enhance the hilarity. Director David Gordon Green, known mostly for the understated and reflective films George Washington and All the Real Girls, seemed like an odd choice for such a raucous and over-the-top comedy, but it turns out Green's stamp is all over this film (as is his long-time cinematographer, Tim Orr) who together manage to turn Pineapple Express into much more than the sum of its parts. --Kira Canny Stills from Pineapple Express (click for larger image)

 best movie ever!! August 25, 2010
Rosalie Platt

 Movie good - Sony Pictures Technology Bad August 20, 2010

Sony Pictures makes the Digital Copy of their movies available for one year after the release date. If you happen to purchase this offline, the expiration date is visible with about 10 minutes of patience and a microscope (back cover). If you purchase it online, there's no mention of this fact for some reason.
Amazon.com and Sony Pictures shouldn't sell Digital Copy versions of movies after the window to obtain the Digital Copy has expired. Had two movies in my cart that I cancelled today because of this.
This is class action lawsuit stuff.
 Item 9 August 17, 2010
Mitchell Lynch (Golden CO)
The first 5 minutes or so had me on the floor and until a bad thing happened in the flick, about 20 or so minutes into it, it was also pretty damn funny-but then...never did finish it, nothing like....this bad thing, in a stoner movie to harsh your mellow-but seriously, if you get a chance, catch at least the beginning.
 There are lots of guns. July 14, 2010
Mister Charlie (Los Angeles, CA)
I just thought I'd take a look at some of the reviews here, after having watched the movie, and the review seem to focus on the "comedy" aspect of this movie. Also, the only quote featured on the packaging is from Rolling Stone, which says "Hardcore hilarious. It slaps a big, fat, goofy smile on your face." I just wanted to add, though, that there is a LOT of gunplay and violence in this movie... i.e., we, along with Rogen's misanthropic process server, witness someone being shot in the head and we see the blood spatter as well. There are fist fight sequences, car chases with guns blasting, people being shot at close range, a piece of Rogen's ear gets blown off, we see the bloody close-up, and much more. If that matters to you.
Apparently there are a lot of tokers who love this kind of Tarantino-esque stuff along with their pot-themed Apatow comedy, but it mostly just didn't work for me. There are definitely some hilarious moments in this film, but the comedy/violence hybrid falls flat, and it's nearly impossible to endure two hours of seth rogen's bearish voice repeatedly screaming "aaaaugh!!" and other things throughout the many action parts of the movie. High marks, though, for James Franco's performance, bring some nuance to a pot dealer, to Danny McBride's bizarre distributor Red, and to Ed Begley Jr's cameo. 2-1/2 stars for the good parts!
a factory of missed jokes July 13, 2010
B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
The biggest problem with Pineapple Express is that you sit there and experience one misssed joke after another. In addition to that, the majority of the storyline segments feel like a complete waste of time. The storyline ITSELF feels like filler. That's a sign of a bad movie.
Perhaps yet another problem is that, on a personal note, I'm not too crazy about Seth Rogen as an actor. He never really does anything particularly funny- it's more like the characters around him provide the laughs, so the humor is supposed to come from how Seth responds to said characters. Someone completely different from him would be Jim Carrey- Carrey provides the humor himself.
Anyway, Pineapple Express is mediocre for the majority of its running time. It's about Seth's character who witnesses a murder while sitting in a parked car. The murderers spot Seth Rogen before he drives away in a hurry, and eventually Seth and the murderers come into contact with each other. It's a comedy film though. Not a particularly funny one, but hey, that's the category it falls under.
Despite being a comedy, it's interesting how the film has its share of graphic scenes pertaining to blood and shootings, and yet, the violent scenes aren't treated as comedy. So the film has an extremely small portion of suspense as well.
My favorite scene is *definitely* the one where Seth Rogen walks into his girlfriends parents home while the family is sitting at the dinner table. He's covered in sweat and blood and tries to explain to them that a murderer is following him and that they must leave right away.
This is apparently Seth's first time meeting the parents of his girlfriend. What an introduction! There's quite a bit of humor involved during this part, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Proof that even a mediocre movie can make me laugh at times.
Also the friend who bakes cakes for his dead cat provided a few solid laughs as well. The entire conclusion of the storyline where all the bad guys and Seth's friends are battling each other is really exciting to watch as well.
It's just amazing how pointless the majority of the storytelling is though. A good portion of it focuses on nothing but Seth's friends sitting around and smoking weed and saying the worst jokes imaginable. This isn't entertaining not even a *little* bit.
Overall, an average film. You've been warned what to expect, but hey, you've probably seen Seth Rogen before so I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know here.
