Pineapple Express (Rated) [UMD for
PSP] starring Seth Rogen, James
Franco, Gary Cole, Danny McBride,
Kevin Corrigan
This Movie Gets Better Every Time I Watch It!
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 Chongs Up in Smoke and Dave Chappells
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 Apatows 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
Greens 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

Personal Review: Pineapple Express (Rated) [UMD for PSP]
starring Seth Rogen, James Franco, Gary Cole, Danny McBride,
Kevin Corrigan
The mixed ratings here on Amazon for this film amazes me. PINEAPPLE
EXPRESS is amazingly hilarious and has a non stop thrill ride story that
never lets up and also never goes over the top. It is about pot and one pot
dealer in particular and his main client. Yet this film is in no way a mere
stoner film in the vein of Cheech and Chong. It is filled with intelligent
humor and a stage is set for all the performers to shine. James Franco
leads the pack and has totally changed his career with his full out comic,
real portrayal of the drug dealer. He is forever stoned and forever
hilarious. Seth Rogen shines more than ever as the client who sees a
murder and turns to his dealer for help. The comic duo these two provide
is primed for the modern times. They both rule and play off each other
flawlessly. You will never tire of the interactions between them.

As I said, this film is intelligent and Rosie Perez and Gary Cole are another
duo in this film that shine. Rosie Perez has never been funnier. I don't
want to give away too much about this film except to say it is no mere
stoner film. If you love SUPER BAD and any of the actors involved you will
love this film. This is one of the best comedies in years. I had to add it to
my film collection and in blu ray the addition is even better.
It is wonderful to see the expertise and quality that is given to a comedy
film. The video and audio transfers are of the highest quality. This film
also comes with hours of bonus material that will keep the laugh ride going
on for a long time.
Highly recommend.
