Product Description:
A PAIR OF DRUGGIE LOSERS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE HIT LIST WHEN ONE WITNESSES A MOB MURDER AND DRAGS HIS BUDDY INTO A CRAZY FLIGHT FROM MOBSTERS BENT ON SILENCING BOTH OF THEM PERMANENTLY.
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

The movie is long, At times funny, and Not entirely a stoner film per se, but pretty much bland. At least Cheech & Chong Is funny(I Don't do Drugs myself-which has nothing to do with it). But The movie plot is dumb. Don't see what the big deal is. I do have to hand it to Craig Robinson He is funny.

Seth Rogan and James Franco are back together again and it's comic gold. I love this movie, because I love to laugh!

Didn't expect much from this story premise, but the way they plot it is great and every character is hilarous.

I'm a fan of Cheech and Chong. There has been no competition since. Not until Pineapple Express came along. These two guys are great together. I laughed out loud throughout the movie. It was funny and silly in a stoney kind of way. I can see these two doing future movies of the same genre together. They should really consider it. Pineapple Express (Single-Disc Unrated Edition)
