More than average

Pineapple Express struggles to find its rhythm, even from the very beginning of the movie, and you find yourself expecting some sort of start that doesn't come. This is due to one of the most noticeable bad habits of Apatow's, which is over-stretching the script. This one, like a lot of his productions, is almost two hours long, when you feel it could have easily been trimmed of a good twenty minutes.
Moreover, the humour is off most of the time: most of the gags fall flat and the few funny ones don't compensate for the already boring story.
Still, let's note that there are a few interesting and well directed scenes such as the fight at Red's or the car chase.
