Product Description:
A new comedy from the creative genius of Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Talladega Nights) follows a pair of druggie losers as they reach 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. The film stars new sensation Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin) and James Franco (Spider-Man 1-3) and it co-stars Rosie Perez (Do The Right Thing) and Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie). Movie is directed by David Gordon Green.

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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - started off promising, then lost its way
This started off well enough, with the endearing James Franco and the always funny Seth Rogen as two potheads and a few comedic lines. Then it rapidly descended into goofy violence, gunplay, fights, frantic running around, screaming, and several characters that were not necessary and which added nothing to the story or the potential comedy. Too bad, because the Rogen and Apatow team is usually far better than this. Perhaps they were going for a spoof here, but it just fell flat.

Rating: - Very interesting
I found this movie to be very interesting. So much so that I want to watch it again. I liked it, but need to see it again, which is a good comment about the film.
I feel that director, David Gordon Green has done a very fine job.
Set Rogen and James Franco are wonderful.
Rating:  - Far better than I thought it would be. My favorite comedy of 2008
The main reason I wanted to see Pineapple Express was due to my love for the TV series Freaks and Geeks, which left me heartbroken when it got cancelled; seeing as Judd Apatow was one of the producers and it starred James Franco and Seth Rogen all three of course involved with Freaks and Geeks I had to see this. Quite honestly I didn't really expect too much out of Pineapple Express; I was hoping for something entertaining and it actually turned out even better than I thought it would and easily rates ...

Rating:  - Extremely cliche
This is a wanna-be Cheech & Chong movie. The acting isn't bad, in fact it's what we've come to expect from these guys. The problem is that it's just not original at all and every moment of the movie is horribly cliche.
I don't think I laughed once while watching and actually turned it off before it was over to watch re-runs on SpikeTV.
Don't bother with this one, catch it on HBO or something for free.
Rating: - Terrible
I don't know why people think this movie is funny when the movies definitely promote the use of marijuana. The movie is all around stupid marijuana and racist jokes. Stay away if you can!
