Pineapple Express

Seth Rogan and James Franco star in this politically incorrect comedy about marijuana that is actually quite witty and thoroughly entertaining. The story revolves around Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), a lazy stoner who only wishes to spend his days smoking weed and making out with his high school girlfriend.

For Dale, his average day involves finding disguises to trick his clients into issuing them subpoenas and of course, smoking weed. When Dale runs out of weed, he visits his local dealer Saul Silver (James Franco) who craves company for the life of a dealer is quite dull. To keep Dale there, Saul introduces Dale to Pineapple Express which is a powerful new strain of marijuana.

As the day progresses for Dale, he decides to make his last stop to a client who also happens to be a drug dealer (Gary Cole), unbeknown to him is also the supplier of Pineapple Express where he witnesses a murder. Scared, he throws his current "joint" out the window, only for the villain to discover the bud and then the hunt begins.

With both Dale and Saul on the run, a huge game of cat and mouse begins that involves delusional paranoia from the Pineapple Express and the fact that a drug dealer a corrupt cop (Rosie Perez) wants them dead. Although not as funny as Superbad, Pineapple Express has enough truly comedic moments to keep just about all people entertained. Definitely a wild ride from start to finish!

Once you have watched the movie, you can then enjoy the plethora of extras which is quite outstanding for a comedy movie. Perfect video (16:9 widescreen) and audio (Dolby Digital 5.1) makes Pineapple Express a truly visually and entertaining movie.

Recommended!
