Pineapple Express - (2008) - David Gordon GreenBoy, it felt like I waited years for this movie to come out. I could not wait! I first heard about it when I bought the Superbad DVD and it had an exclusive scene for Pineapple Express in the special features. The excitement just kept building from there and I have to say it did not disappoint!
Seth Rogen plays Dale Denton. Dale is a process server which has to be one of the funniest jobs I'd never heard of. Dale is a pothead and recently started getting his weed from Saul (James Franco) and obtained some really good stuff called Pineapple Express. It is extremeely rare and Saul is the
only dealer in the city with it. After getting the weed Dale has to go "serve" Ted who just happens to be a drug lord and as he arrives at Ted's house. Dale witnesses Ted and a policewoman murdering a Chinese man. Dale panics and tosses his roach out the window and Ted sees a car speeding off down the street. Ted and the policewoman head down to the street to find Dale's roach laying in the road and Ted knows the only place you can get the Pineapple Express... So the whole movie is pretty much Ted's guys (which includes Craig Robinson!) trying to hunt down Saul and some random guy they just know as Dale Denton. It is so funny you guys!Seth Rogen is great in this movie, but James Franco is really what makes it awesome. Definitely my favorite character. My second favorite character is Red (Danny McBride). Red gets shot/should die several times throughout the movie but never dies! It's sooo funny. He's especially great at the end. I thought the end was good- I can see how some might think it's stupid or easy. It definitely ties everything up though. I was happy with it.

sounds cool? good review, you kind of made me want to see it? i'm sort of over that seth rogen guy though. but i'm sure it is funny and i'll probably end up seeing itttttt.
It's nice to see James Franco finally getting a good starring role. Danny McBride was FANTASTIC - he's also in Tropic Thunder, but he's not quite as funny there.
ohhhh, I liked Danny McBride in Tropic Thunder, I thought his character was hilarious.
