Pineapple Express Derails Big Time *

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2009)

What were the writers smoking when they made this foolish film dealing with a process server? The latter is on drugs, and while going to serve a subpoena, he witnesses a drug murder.
For the rest of this nonsensical film, both he and his dealer are on the run. The higher they get, the more zany the antics but it's all so idiotic.
The dialogue is filled with the four letter word being used constantly.
Am amazed that Rosie Perez, who portrays a corrupt police lady, allowed herself to be in this mess of a film. In addition, Perez is given so little to do. Remember years back when she was riding high with a supporting actress nomination and actually knew how to act? What has she come to? Ditto for James Franco. He thinks he is cute as the dude who sells drugs so that he can keep his grandmother is a fancy home. Seth Rogen, who also wrote this trite, is the drug dealer.
The one-star is given to serve as a reminder of what drugs can do to you. Apparently, they really affected those making this awful film.
