I love this movie so much
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
"Pineapple Express" is one of those comedies where a regular guy gets swept up into a situation he can't handle simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Here, the regular guy is Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), a lowly process server who witnesses a murder. Soon, he finds himself on the run with his weed dealer (James Franco), who is also connected to the murder by association. Fleeing hitmen & corrupt police officers, the pair naturally proceed to get into various comedic situations throughout the course of the movie.An important part of any comedy is the cast and this one's pretty good. Seth Rogen contributes a performance that's typical for him, which is all that's really needed here since he's a quintessential 'regular guy'. James Franco's performance is more idiosyncratic and resulted in a Golden Globe nomination. Personally, I give the edge to Franco but, most importantly, the two have good chemistry together. The supporting cast is nicely assembled as well, featuring very funny individuals like Danny McBride & Craig Robinson alongside seasoned vets like Gary Cole & Ed Begley Jr.The story's an entertaining one, blending elements of stoner & crime comedies in a pretty novel way. The script was written by Rogen & Evan Goldberg, who'd previously collaborated a year earlier on the standout comedy "Superbad". They did a good job of blending action & comedy here, so that the movie feels loose at times but still has momentum. I'm not sure that it's really all that memorable of a plot in the end but it does consistently hold your attention once it gets going.From a technical standpoint, "Pineapple Express" is well executed but not particularly exceptional. David Gordon Green's direction seems to be more focused on performance rather than crafting clever visuals, which is an approach that works well for the movie. The music generally doesn't stand out, either, though it was kind of cool for them to get Huey Lewis & the News to perform the theme song.Overall, "Pineapple Express" may not be a comedy for the ages but it is a worthwhile comedy that doesn't just recycle cliches and situations from other, better movies. Given the premise, you might expect a lowbrow stoner comedy but the movie actually has a keen sense of humour that goes beyond mere silliness. While this brand of comedy still may not suit all tastes, I think that the movie will certainly appeal to fans of Rogen & Franco at the very least.
Totally waste of time, i can not even understand on what things people laugh :o This movie doesnot have a single scene worth watching or having a comedy sense! they tried to mixed up things like action, comedy and romance but totally failed in doing so!!! The two stars are just because i liked the poster :D
Unfunny writing. Incompetent directing.Obnoxiously bad acting. You might say Painful Express is a triple-threat of non-entertainment. How much brain damage have people suffered that this movie could have a 7.0 rating? Everyone involved in this movie should have been permanently banned from Hollywood.I have seen horribly unfunny sitcoms involving talking cars, talking horses, meddlesome landlords, brewery workers, leather-clad doofuses, aliens, midgets, adoptive fathers, handymen, coffee-drinking hipsters, FedEx delivery men, and James Belushi that were a thousand times funnier than this movie even when compared to their worst episodes.
This movie is in my top 5. One of the best comedies ever. Way better than Knocked Up. I don't know why this got low scores, the whole theater was going crazy back when I saw it. I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen, but I loved this movie! It's about a stoner who witnessed a murder, and him and his dealer are on the run. Both are stoned in every single scene. You feel for the characters, who are very lovable and the development takes the plot from absurdity to laugh-out-loud humor. I hate slapstick, but this so well done. James Franco is so darn hot, he's absolutely sizzling in this movie. His laid-back drug dealer character is hilarious, but as innocent as a puppy. His smile is an iconic movie landmark. He is so funny as the drug dealer and him and Rogan have great chemistry together All in all, Pineapple Express is a blast, with an endearing quality. Anyone that doesn't find this movie funny...I feel bad for you
