With Pineapple Express, you got a great blend of stoner comedy, action, and suspense. It isn't has funny as Superbad or Knocked Up, but the humour is very similar, and by no means bad. There are some absolutely hilarious moments, and some great lines like; "If you don't do exactly as I say, I'm gonna drag you out and fuck you in the street!" Although it is a bit disappointing, Pineapple Express is still a hilarious movie, with some fantastic moments. Awesome!

Hard to say why I didn't like it more, but I don't mean that as a knock. I certainly enjoyed it, and even laughed a fair amount, but overall I was left feeling a little flat. Franco and McBride were the real breakout stars here...outshining Rogen to a degree. My main problem is the same one I had with "Hot Fuzz", when out of nowhere, we go from a slapstick/stoner comedy into an action-packed gorefest. I "get" what they're going for, but it's still awkward and on its way to being cliche.

Featured a fair amount of irritating scenes (the relationship between Rogen and Heard, the ending which was pointless,...), and lacked a human element that both Knocked Up and Superbad shared (the latter still being my favorite film from Apatow). But I did laugh... a lot !!! The film is just hysterical and downright ridiculous. To me, Pineapple Express may be the most quotable film since I dunno, The Big Lebowski. "Fuck the Police !!!", man, I almost cried from laughter...

It's pretty funny but it can drag at times and it doesn't feel like a coherent whole. It's a bit of a jumbled mess, especially when contrasted with, say, Superbad or Knocked Up.

Though it's not as good as Knocked Up, Pineapple Express is a great mesh of action and comedy in a way that's rarely done this well. The comedy itself is getting stale as it's not much different than this group's half-dozen or so movies from this decade, but this one brought in a few new players, namely James Franco and the guy who played Red who are just hilarious and really add a lot to the team.

Overall the plot doesn't work... but there are enough laughs (even for us non-potheads) to make it entertaining. Aptow's success rests on his core audience of the easily amused, but this movie slightly transcends the pee-pee/poo-poo humor of his previous efforts.

Like "Hot Fuzz" on weed; though this has its moments and is generally pretty entertaining, it never made me laugh or cheer in the same ways Hot Fuzz did. Perhaps it's an unfair comparison, but nonetheless I felt this entry is a bit slight for Apatow & co.

Got a few laughs, but mostly just silly. What was the point of the relationship between Rogen and his gf? Saul and Red were pretty funny, but I kind of had enough of both of them by the end. Just not really my thing. It was all a bit over the top for me.

It's a different animal from the standard Apatow flick, even though it's got a lot of the same elements. There's a lot more action than I expected going into a stoner comedy, and it does a good action/buddy cop flick parody, while doing stoner comedy, while doing standard Apatow-style comedy too. It's funny. Really funny. But, as a movie, it's a bit all over the place...it couldn't really decide what it was or where it was going, so it's a bit messy. Still, it's FUNNY, Franco in particular.

A loving tribute to both marijuana and 80s action films. Hot Fuzz this ain't, but I'll be damned if it doesn't come close. It's a step away from the comfort zone for Green, and he brings an artful direction sorely lacking from most Apatow pictures -- the forest montage is an exquisitely crafted piece of sloppy fun. The dialog is endlessly quotable ("Pandora only comes out of the box, he can't go back in!"), and Franco gives a truly inspired performance. This has Cult Classic written all over it.

Not the best Apatow production you'll see but it delivers some laughs and a pretty good story. The writers (Rogen and Goldberg) took years writing "Superbad", a far superior film. Maybe they should have given this one a little more time.

Ridiculously quotable film is probably the most artistically inclined of the Apatow films thusfar. With director David Gordon Green, this isn't unexpected, but his sheer love for cheesy 80s actioners is. This is a starmaking turn for McBride and Franco does extremely well with a role that could have been a cut-rate stoner stereotype.

A stoner and his dealer get caught up in a drug war and the comedy's exactly what you'd expect-a combination of "that's gotta hurt" slapstick (Red is the obvious champ in this area) and loud swear-laden and weed-infused riffs of dialogue. Doesn't break much new ground but Franco's dim Saul and Rogen's straight man Dale have good chemistry and keep you engaged in spite of the mediocre plot. An uproarious improvised epilogue at the diner makes up for the over-the-top gun-happy climax.

Great movie with many hilarious scene's but doesn't reach the level of Superbad wich is hilarious all the time. But still one of the best comedy's of 2008. James Franco and Seth Rogen are super funny but it are Craig Robinson and Danny McBride who steal the show. 'Matheson' should get his own film. You don't have to like weed to like this movie.

I watched Pineapple Express and Knocked Up on the same day, and wow, what a contrast! Pineapple Express was really funny at times, but Rogen's character was way more annoying than in Knocked Up, and in general I found the movie too long, and containing boring and pointless dialogues. Good humor and action, but besides that the script was awful in my opinion.

Pineapple Express is a typical dumb and fun comedy that you'd expect with Rogen attached to it. While not being overly clever, it does play well into its absurdity and that's where most of its laughs will be found. There isn't much here in the way of compelling writing or story, with much of everything being surface level filler. If you can get behind a stoner comedy, this will work for you, but it will turn others off. Not the best of Rogen or Franck's work, but still solid.

2. 10 years later definitely not as funny as I remember it. Maybe I've grown older and more cynical and can't appreciate simplistic and carefree humour properly anymore, maybe I've simply seen too many formulaic Hollywood stoner/buddy flicks now, or maybe it never was that good to begin with. Then again Franco is awesome as usual, and makes me smile just by smiling (I know, sounds silly but hey), there is some decent humour overall, but is a bit forgettable to be honest.

The Pineapple Express is good. It is not just a comedy of stoners, has great action, moments of euphoric, paranoia and mostly very funny. James Franco in the best performance of his career, surprisingly funny. And Seth Rogen, owner of the best comedies of recent times.

A genuinely funny road trip film that masquerades as a stoner/crime thriller. Before seeing this I wouldn't have recommended it to my father, but the pot smoking takes a backseat through most of the film while black humor and insane fight sequences (yeah, they're pretty fucking good) seem to take center stage. Highly recommended for any non-ultra conservative audiences.

The first half is very funny, Franco and McBride are both beyond brilliant, Rogen is his usual charismatically schlubby self, and it's nice to have an Apatow-style film with a real director behind the camera; it makes a big difference. Once it slips into an ineffective homage to '80s action flicks in the last act, though, it loses almost all of its humor and becomes, well, boring. Cole and Perez are both totally wasted. Very good stoner flick, but could've benefitted from a couple rewrites.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg bring you a new kind of stoner buddy action/comedy. The hilarious cross-joint trio of Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Danny McBride are brilliant together in this instant stoner comedy classic. Although the love story feels a bit forced, the unexpected bromances were only enhanced by the onscreen chemistry between multiple characters. All the deep friendship provides enough heart, to go behind all of the over-the-top jokes and action.

Unless you think anything involving pot is automatically funny, this movie is a drag. The Coen Brothers might have been able to integrate the stoner comedy and crime threads of the plot --here they intermingle uneasily, choking off the laughs and rendering silly and flat the action. Also, is Danny McBride supposed to be funny precisely because he's not funny (this applies to any character of his)?

I would argue that this is the second-best flick that James Franco has been a part of. Better than T&I, better than Annapolis, better than Elah. He plays a drug dealer very well. This is a better-than-most comedy that isn't quite up to par, in my opinion, with the other Apatow flicks. And it's not the best stoner comedy out there, but it's above the curve. Still, worthy of the 80/100 and a recommended viewing.

David G. Green can obviously do just about anything. Pineapple Express is quite similar to Knocked Up or Superbad - like those, it manages to create something new and fresh within it's genre instead of just repeating the same clichés. There's a lot of great action and a fair dose of gore, which is understandable since Green's never been afraid to try out different genres. A tighter package than, let's say, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express is the best pothead comedy in ages.

Fairly disappointing Apatow joint. As with Harold and Kumar, I love the stupidity of the story, I just didn't connect with the humour. Too much "I'm so high!" humour. Franco's character is cliché, McBride is annoying and Rogen is at his worst. The 'Pulp Fiction'-like end scene is awesome, though.

For the most part really funny, but there are a few moments where the pot humor is extremely on the nose. Oh look he's high, he's going to describe something in a completely ridiculous way, ha fucking ha. It definitely has some great memorable moments, and the story is surprisingly good, but it's probably my least favorite of the recent Apatow movies (Zohan and Dewey Cox aside).

Despite its occasional moments of humor, Pineapple Express is a bumbling story lacking direction or character. Fans of Judd Apatow-esque stoner humor will get a kick out of the various marijuana themed jokes, but the film's overreliance on plot will eventually abandon even them.
