nearly flawless

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2008)

I believe that in order to enjoy Pineapple Express, you are required to have a select sense of humor, or at least an appreciation for its particular brand of humor, but provided that you do, the film really delivers.
I laughed non-stop... the timing was priceless, and the interactions between Dale (Rogan) and Saul (Franco) had such a natural flow. None of the laughs felt planned to me, as funny lines and moments in films often do, and I appreciate that no one was TRYING to make me laugh the entire time.
While Rogan was his typical, blunt, classless-humor self, James Franco really steals the show in his role as Saul, turning Rogan into more of a straight man than anything.
One last thing I'd like to add: You do NOT have to be a stoner or see this film baked to full enjoy this movie. I know I'm not. I just appreciate hilarity when its right in front of me.
