Pineapple Express

Starring: Seth Rogen, James Franco, that funny dude from THE FOOT FIST WAY, that guy from OFFICE SPACE, Rosie Perez, Ed Begley Jr.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is your basic Mary Jane movie where a couple of buddies get high and then get into a bunch of wild $hit and have to find their way out. Think Cheech and Chong's UP IN SMOKE or HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE with a Judd Apatow twist. Funny $hit, right? I don't know. I guess.

There's one problem with watching these types of movies. I never smoked weed in my life. Neither has my wife. I mean, I know all of you mofos do, but not us innocent guys.

Soooo, when we watch these movies, although it's funny most of the time, I'm sure we're missing out on all the subtle Chronic jokes here and there. Maybe you guys even smoke a blunt while watching it. You'd probably think it was the best movie ever made.

Seth Rogen is teddy bear funny like our Tongan friend who works with us. You know who you are. He's just a likable dude. James Franco was actually funnier than I thought he would be. He played the pot seller guy. That guy from The Foot Fist Way, Danny McBride, cracks me up all the time. He seems to have bit parts in all the comedies now. I think it'll only be a matter of time until he becomes the feature guy. He's hilarious.

So Rogen and Franco witness this murder and somehow there's a corrupt cop (Perez) involved and they just spend the whole movie trying to run away from the bad guys who figure out it's them because they dropped their joint and it led back to them 'cause they were the only ones with access to "Pineapple Express," the Maui Wowie of today. That's the gist of it.

The movie kinda grew on me. Light, harmless entertainment. Unless you start hitting the bong 'cause of this movie. Not bad. Not like I was dying laughing or anything like that. It was a'ight. I give this movie two guys hitting the Chronic undercover after golf in the parking lot, smuggling their stash in a Twisted Metal video game case...
