Amazon.co.uk Review
The latest 'bro-mance' from Judd Apatow (creator of Superbad, Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Pineapple Express is the story of Dale Denton (Seth Rogan) and Saul Silver (James Franco), a pothead and his dealer who accidentally get caught up in a drug war between two gangs with some corrupt cops, high school girls and smalltime henchmen thrown in for good measure. At its core, Pineapple Express is a stoner comedy--a tale of two sluggish, giggling, loveable idiots in way over their heads. This formula has made for some entertaining comedy over the years, Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke and Dave Chappell's Half Baked being two of the best examples. What sets Pineapple Express apart from these silly classics however, is the consistency of the humour, the perfect chemistry between Rogan and Franco and the giddily ridiculous action sequences. The movie retains the sweetness that is present in most of Apatow's films, making the characters’ poor choices and ultra-violent actions somehow justifiable (or at least relatable). The site gags, pop culture references and perfectly timed non-sequiturs only enhance the hilarity. Director David Gordon Green, known mostly for the understated and reflective films George Washington and All the Real Girls, seemed like an odd choice for such a raucous and over-the-top comedy, but it turns out Green's stamp is all over this film (as is his long-time cinematographer, Tim Orr) who together manage to turn Pineapple Express into much more than the sum of its parts. --Kira Canny
Product Description
The Pineapple Express, directed by David Gordon Green, stars Seth Rogan, James Franco and Danny R. McBride.
Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express.
But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. But the weed is so rare that it can be traced back Saul. Dale and Saul have to run for their lives as the bad guys are hot on their trail! All aboard the Pineapple Express.

I love this film more than any other film I saw last year. It is great. I don't know why, cos I don't even smoke weed, but it is great and charming and loveable. Not much else I can say really. Also has some quality violence.

Format:Blu-ray
Unlike one of the Apatow's overly hyped previous outings, Superbad, this movie had me laughing all the way through. It was quite refreshing to see James Franco in something other than the brooding son of the Green Goblin in Spiderman. In fact, I didn't recognise him at first. The story, is fairly simple and in certain cases, a tad over the top, but is played by the actors with some real zeal and who may have actually been on the drugs that they were portraying...
I enjoyed the movie from start to finish and the finale was pure genius...and as mentioned the transfer to Blue-ray is first class. Well worth adding to your collection and putting it on when you've had a couple of beers...

I loved this film from beggining to end it is by far better than other 'stoner' comedies such as harold and kumar. The best parts of the film for me are definately the totally over the top action scenes. The two main characters are just two everyday guys that get caught up in something totally over their heads and the result is pure laughs.

Funny, no more
A funny movie, a good, light hearted laugh, but no more. Found the plot rather weak and predictable. But if it's a good laugh you're after, this will serve the scope.

Pineapple Express
This was recommend by our son as something his 50+ parents should watch. Big mistake, we found it utterly boring with an inane plot.

Go downtown, find two drugged-up bisexual morons, follow them around for 90 minutes, and you'll have the same experience as if you had watched ths film.
