Thanks for the memories!

Admirable film.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I watched the unrated version. The plot of the film is a simple cat and mouse as a couple of stoners attempt to get away from their supplier who wants to kill them over witnessing a murder. The plot was mostly immaterial as the film was nothing but stoner humor, people smoking pot and acting odd. The film goes on for nearing two hours replicating the same humor which got stale after 35 minutes.Plenty of F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Might be 5 stars if stoned, otherwise it is an avoid production

I just watched this on a 3.99 disc that included 3 other movies--OMG--I just completely forfeited 1.5 hours of my life watching this c**p. Who thought this dumpster fire was funny? I think it may have been written for individuals who have already been toking the do*bee, since they apparently will laugh at pretty much anything. Another reviewer wrote something like spend your time watching the paint peel--SAGE ADVICE--do pretty much ANYTHING other than watching this humongous turkey. Ick. Seth Rogan and James Franco clearly mailed it in--somebody thought that just seeing them running around and yelling a lot makes for a funny movie. I thought the movie was about process serving, but that only plays a very minor sub plot--and what the heck happened to the main character's supposed dinner meeting with his high school girlfriend's parents? (And who thought that a story line about a 25 year old dating a high school senior would be anything other than CREEPY!!!). Not that Seth Rogan would pass anyone's muster as a 25 year old. At any rate, spend some time with the kids--visit your old grandmother--mow the lawn--or at least watch a movie with some semblance of decent writing and good storytelling. This ain't the one, pal.

Well, the start is slow and long because it's not really funny unless you find pot smokers acting stoned funny in itself.After a while (about an hour) things start to move away from "pot- heavy" and get much better, but not great. There are interesting ideas, but it's still mostly gags, many of which don't work very well.The dynamics between the two main characters don't feel genuine. Sure, they're stoned all the time, but that shouldn't effect how they feel and you seeing it - it should only affect how they express their feelings. It's not enough for them to just say what they feel, because that's in the script, they should act like it.Also, the end doesn't really tie loose ends, which is strange for a movie this long.

Ever since I watched 'This is the End' I have been itching to see Pineapple Express (namely because they film a 'sequel' in that film). So, when the local cult movie cinema decided to run a double feature of The Interview and this film I was there with bells on. However, to my dismay, Pineapple Express simply did not live up to my expectations. Okay, it wasn't a bad film per se, however it certainly wasn't one of Rogan's best. To me it seemed to be little more than an excuse of having copious amounts of marijuana being smoked on film.Okay, this was probably one of his first films, which is probably why it didn't appeal to me all that much, but I suspect if I was a lot younger, and still hanging around a certain crowd, we would have lapped this film up. The reason being because it was, well, an excuse for smoking copious amounts of marijuana on the big screen. However, unlike a lot of his other films, I didn't think that it was all that funny. Okay, while Rogan's comedy tends to be quite puerile, that puerile part of me simply cannot help but laughing, yet that did not seem to be present in this film.Pineapple Express is basically about marijuana. Well, it's not about marijuana in the sense that Acapulco Gold is about marijuana, but rather it is about a strain of really potent marijuana that gets our uninspiring heroes into a lot of trouble. Rogan plays a process server (a job that seems really cool, but pays pittance) and his comrade in arms is, well, a drug dealer. Anyway, Rogan is going to serve some guy named Ted Jones, who as it turns out is a big time drug dealer, but gets into trouble when he witnesses Jones and a female cop (that's her name) kill some Asian guy. Rogan flees, but leaves his doobie lying on the ground which means that Jones is able to track Rogan and his friend down because it is, well, Pineapple Express, and Ted has only sold Pineapple Express to one guy.Thus this is what the movie becomes – a couple of no hopers stumbling around Los Angeles trying to keep themselves alive while attempting to get the better of the villain. Sound familiar? Well, that is because it is familiar since it is the basic plot of quite a few other films that I have seen. Okay, those films may not have the main characters smoking as much marijuana as they do in this film, but in the end if that is what sets this film apart from the multitude of other films with a similar plot then, well, all I can say that it is not all that fantastic.
