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)

 Arrived in excellent condition. February 21, 2010
Brian M. Lavin (Akron, OH USA)
I haven't had time to watch this, but enjoyed it in the theater. I bought this during black friday when you couldn't beat the price. I would recommend it to others.
 Keeps growing on me February 18, 2010
Bradlee (ohio)
When I first watched this movie I didn't much care for it, even though I do like a lot of Apatow's other movies. Now that it has been out a few years and I have watched it a couple more times, I seem to enjoy it more each time. I still don't find it laugh out loud hilarious, but I do grow more amused with it the more I watch it. The humor is a little more odd than the standard dumb "stoner" movie.

Fast shipping, great packaging and reasonable price. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks.
Half laughs and half boredom February 3, 2010
Larry VanDeSande (Mason, Michigan United States)
"Pineapple Express", if you're wondering, is a "brand" of marijuana sold in this movie and the signature element that sets off a war between two drug cartels...into which actor Seth Brogan stumbles by way of witnessing a murder -- when high from Pineapple Express.
If this made you chuckle, you're probably going to like this movie. I last saw Brogan in the miraculous Knocked Up Knocked Up (Unrated Full Screen Edition), one of the funnier films I've seen in recent years. This one is funny, too, but it is also wearisome and dull when visceral comedy isn't creating laughs.
Brogan and his pot-dealing buddy (James Franco) have to outwit (perhaps a poor choice of words) a couple contract killers in this movie after the former witnesses the murder. This takes them from the comfort of their bong-driven life to life in transit, even though they never get far from home.
The humor in this movie is all slapstick. In one memorable scene, the two heroes visit a "friend" who intentionally attacks them in his home and a three-way fight breaks out. The homebody hides in the bathroom and Brogran and bud break down the door, knocking the other guy into the sink which is dislodged from the wall. It's a lot funnier watching and hearing the action than what I can describe, and there are a half-dozen scenes almost as good throughout the movie. Take these scenes away, though, and you have a really stupid and dull late adolescent movie.
Good comedies are hard to come by and, while I wouldn't call this a good one, it is laugh out loud funny at least a half-dozen times, often for 3-4 minutes at a time, and the action keeps moving so you're not bored with a flat story. "Pineapple Express" isn't the last word in anything but, when it's all said and done, people are going to remember it as another funny movie from Brogan.
 Will not play on my two blu-ray players January 18, 2010

I managed to play the digital copy of this movie and it was funny. However, I paid for a blu-ray HD movie and the blu-ray disk would not play in both of my blu-ray players. My PS3 has the 3.15 firmware which is current as of 2010, and all is does is show four puffs of smoke on the screen, and nothing else. Same thing on my Toshiba, current firmware and no movie.
Do NOT waste your money.
