Not as funny as I remember

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2014)

Pineapple express is about a court-process clerk and his weed dealer they end up on the run from hit men and a corrupt police woman after seeing his dealer's boss murder someone from his Chinese competitors while trying to serve papers to him.
I remember loving Pineapple Express and in almost tears of laughter the first time I saw it. I re-watched it again today and it sadly wasn't as good, its not as bad as iv seen some reviews say in my opinion. Seth Rogan (Dale Denton) and James Franco (Saul Silver) work brilliantly together, they make the movie for me and made you want to watch the film and get some great gags in there. The parents of Dale's girlfriend (Amber Heard) had some of the finniest scenes. I thought the directing was good nothing special but I wasn't expecting anything spectacular in this sort of movie. At times tho I thought they were trying to hard and you were just left in a bit of a limbo. I thought the script was very good, has to be said. Danny McBride as Red was great and he was as funny as ever. One of the hit men played by Craig Robinson was also very good and played his part superbly. Gary Cole as the wired 'villain' was a joy to watch as well. Overall if your looking for a goofy easy watch comedy this will be ideal. Its a good enough movie to just watch on a lazy Sunday if your board but not much more. For the good performances, witty script and a good feel film its a 7/10 from me.
