Were the filmmakers high when they made this? Probably.

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2018)

'Pineapple Express (2008)' is essentially a stoner-comedy that isn't shy, at all, about its stoner aspects, often coming across more as a commercial for its pot products than anything else - especially in its first act. Still, when it gets going it's a fast-paced, frantically entertaining buddy-on-the-run piece that's made all the more enjoyable by the inclusion of some unexpectedly crunchy fight-choreography and several rather confident action set-pieces, all of which culminate in a balls-out absurd but undeniably fun finale. The flick's constantly propelled by likeable, sporadically funny and surprisingly realistic performances on the part of pretty much every one involved. 6/10
