    Has anybody seen Pineapple Express?

    I have to say that I do not smoke weed, however I find weed movies to be pretty funny. This one was no exception, it has me laughing through the whole movie and has so many great quotes I think that we will be hearing them for a long time.

    So any of you who have seen it, what do you think?

    Heh. You got that right. Stoner movies generally fail. I suspect this one will be no different.

    Sooo...because someone has done something similar in the past, the new guys should just pack up and go home?

    Sh*t. That's it people! No more music. No more books. No more films. Hell....no more entertainment! It's all going to be inspired by something in the past, so let's sh*t-can it all....

    Some teenaged drama queen in California called, she wants her saying back.

    It's not that great, actually....

    It had me laughing, but it lacks the heart of the Apatow group's previous films and the plot is so pointless I lost interest. This feels like a script that was churned out within a few short hours with a half ounce of weed being smoked.

    Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I still smoked weed, but some of the jokes were pretty stupid. They tried making the emotional connection, but it's forced and feels phoned in.

    This is a semi-negative mark on Apatow's impressive collection. Hopefully he'll learn from it. I give it about 5/10...

    This film was a total waste of time and recycled jokes. After 30 minutes I ended up muting it and maybe glancing over every ten minutes for a few seconds, and it still looked stupid and boring.

    However, I will say James Franco can play a better stoner than Seth Rogen, the sad part is James was acting, Seth wasn't.

    I can't believe this thing has a 7.5 on IMDB, at best it is a 5, maybe 5.5

    D- for boring dumb infantile gross out humor that lacks any real substance. Rated IM for Immature audiences only.

    i just didn't like it, no serious critique here i just left after an hour and ten minutes of the film thinking "i could actually be doing better things right now than force myself to sit through a movie that isnt entertaining me".


    no epic "worst film evar!!" just a meh, not good at all, but just grey enough to be completely unresponsive from me.

    You know...I was considering buying this to give it another try. But now that I see I wasn't the only one with that opinion, I'll wait for TV...

    I rented it, was going to buy it, but then I thought, the only stoner comedy I think is really funny and good is Dazed and Confused, so I said better rent it, then if I like it I will buy it

    Well, I hated it, and glad I saved myself $25.00 on the Blu-Ray

    So hellsing walked out and didn't see the whole thing, and Deej muted it 30 minutes in and barely glanced at it afterwards ... ...

    My mates and I all thoroughly enjoyed it, and I got the DVD a couple of weeks ago (posted early so it was). While the DVD isn't up the usual lulzorz standard of other Apatow-related films, the film itself is still good and enjoyable - heck, I even watched this with my Dad, and he enjoyed it.

    As for the action element, as they say on the commentary, they could only afford three main action sequences, so that's why it's not the biggest flick when it comes to action, but it is more about the chit-chat between the two leads and their 'journey', if you will.

    Anyway, my full thoughts are posted a few posts up.
