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.

David Gordon Green likes Danny McBride the way Judd Apatow likes Seth Rogan, excessively. James Franco just likes being in movies.

Not my type of movie But it's okay

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.
4	frederic_g54	7 _57th
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...
4	Barthalen	60 _38th
Fun cast and a few good moments, but I just don't find people shouting at each other at uncomfortable volumes to be that hilarious. Man, if I did my youth would've been só much better.
3	Nathan S	3 _45th
At times it gets too goofy and over-the-top in both the comedy and action departments, but it's still very funny. Franco was funny, though I thought Rogen was a little off.

PSI of 54? Is Nancy Reagan ranking stuff on here?
2	eveelun	70 _42nd
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.
2	TedDedon	83 _67th
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.
2	jstry	75 _56th
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.
2	KMcNeil	6 _56th
Surprisingly uneven, often going from brilliant to bad (and back) in 5-10 min span. Still: Better than most comedies.
2	ZombieBuffet	65 _67th
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.
2	NathanDarko	88 _70th
Superb crime comedy with seth rogen.Some dialogues reminds me on the early tarantino movies.
1	Coolkow19	93 _97th
It ends kinda weird, but I still haven't laughed this hard since Superbad. Oh, James Franco is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!
1	terrymac	62 _41st
Very, very silly.
1	Pickpocket	6 _55th
I wanted to like this more but it just drags on and on for so long that it was just frustrating. The last 10 minutes are so bad that most people will end up hating it for that alone. The violence was unexpectedly brutal and Franco is hilarious. All in all it is pretty average.
1	timmo	90 _66th
A lot of fun. The plot is very unfocused, but it IS a movie about stoners, so I think that was very unintentional. A great job from everyone in the film.
1	th_mertens	72 _59th
THUG LIFE!!!!! ............... Probably not the most intelligent movie ever made, but I laughed so hard every time Red came in action. ... This is my guilty pleasure.
1	joseywales	82 _89th
Bonus points for Ed Begley Jr. drinking a tin of Newcastle!
1	Murravener	92 _93rd
Apatow keeps his record perfect as he cranks out yet another gut busting comedy. Franco is perfect for his role and Rogen is hilarious as always.
1	Skenkere	77 _78th
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.
1	PJames	20 _1st
A pile of shit with a poor script - not funny.
1	Suture Self	4 _35th
David Gordon Green directed this? What the fuck?
1	Tripwyre	88 _89th
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.
1	saucyjack	80 _67th
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.
1	Mini-T	86 _73rd
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. Favorite quote : Thug life !
1	JokerXgg	50 _53rd
It would have been funnier if I wasn't so predictable. Seth Rogen seems to have created a pattern when it comes to his acting in movies.
1	Mohko	80 _83rd
Pineapple Exress starts a bit slowly but it keeps speeding up towards the great ending. Danny McBride and Craig Robinson steal the show from Seth Rogen.
1	jonny_boy	70 _56th
Hilarious dialogue along with the cast and the surprising ending make Pineapple Express worth watching.
1	Quicky	49 _22nd
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.
1	Vandelay1	70 _75th
Good Movie
1	muzak66	97 _98th
THUG LIFE.
1	XakkMaster	80 _62nd
A chaotic buddy movie in the vein of "Dumb & Dumber," only with weed and more violence. Some real laugh out loud moments make it an enjoyable two hours of bumbling nonsense.
1	Indicam	40 _38th
The occasional slight chuckle, certainly nothing special by way of plot. I'd say not worth the watch unless you're under the influence.
1	Optimus_mike	75 _59th
Lighthearted comedy that deals with murder, drugs, corrupting the youth, and government conspiracies.
1	Bmunise	90 _38th
Deus ex machina, with the comedy stylings of Rosie Perez
1	RealMacgyver	100 _99th
Great stoner comedy wrap in the most messed up action movie you'll ever see. Fantastic stuff. More please.
1	arkadia	80 _66th
"Competent" in the most delightful way possible. Sure, I'll never think about this movie again except to quote it during my future moments of stupidity, but I was sober as I watched it and I laughed until I cried. That's not easy to accomplish.
1	JacoIII	35 _32nd
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.
1	omgfridge	6 _53rd
James Franco is the best part about this.
1	JohnSandwich	90 _95th
that's like a massacre, man
1	pewbeng	76 _60th
HILARITY! Watch it!
1	Bunken	60 _52nd
If Seth Rogen wasn't in it I would probably have given it 75, but he is. I really hate Seth Rogen... Dont know what he's like as a person, probably a great guy, but as an actor, he annoys the shit out of me.
1	hellboy76	68 _65th
Nothing amazing but decent enough for some laughs. McBride steals his scenes.
1	Clark Nova	78 _40th
Who has to get stoned to watch the 5000 Fingers of Dr. T ???!!!
1	guy piranha	55 _30th
nah. not even danny mcbride could sail this boat safely to shore. there were some laughs, but most of the storyline could have been edited backwards and would still make the same amount of sense. not even amber heard looks that hot here, and how fucked up is that??!
1	Seethruskin	5 _80th
One of Goldbergs and Rogens tightest scripts. Great comedy and great performances, especially Franco and Mcbride
1	jnsoneji	95 _84th
Seth Rogen on the run. Very funny.
1	W00DY	60 _34th
There are some properly funny moments but they're only interspersed in a a mediocre film. It's still enjoyable though.
1	Dakota99	6 _62nd
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.
1	qmiller32	80 _37th
I feel like I shouldn't have laughed as much as I did watching this.
1	joel-w-m	5 _25th
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.
1	pyramidsong	75 _11th
Hilarious when it came out. Does not hold up 10 years later
1	capogliere	60 _44th
James Franco ve Seth Rogen :((((
