Pineapple Express, 3.5 Bong Hits out of 5


I was pleased with Pineapple Express. I thought it was very funny and a couple of moments were laugh out loud funny. However, when I compare the flick to other Seth Rogen/ Judd Apatow flicks, it doesn't quite measure up. This movie is not the quintessential stoner movie but it does deserve a spot in the top ten. My favorite stoner films are Friday, Up in Smoke, the first Whitecastle movie and Dazed & Confused.
The hardest part about watching Pineapple Express was to see James Franco look like a dirty pot-smoking hippie instead of his usual good looking self! But that aside, this movie does have Mellybutton approval and is a great Saturday afternoon flick. Bring your refillable popcorn bucket in case you get the munchies :P
