War is upon you! Prepare to suck the cock of karma!

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2009)

Dale (Seth Rogen) is a process server who buys his drugs from Saul (James Franco). Serving a summons one night, he witnesses a murder by Ted Jones (Gary Cole) and a policewoman (Rosie Perez). Dale runs back to Saul for help, in the process starting a drug war between Ted and his Asian competition.
Another player is Saul's dealer Red (Danny R. McBride), who already betrayed them to Ted. How he manages to live through this film amazes me.
There are some very funny moments in this buddy film that includes the usual male bonding, immature sexual desires, verbal scatology, formidable drug abuse, fight scenes, gunfire, and explosions. What it doesn't include is the expected nudity, but Dale's girlfriend (Amber Heard) is a High school student after all.
Saul getting his leg caught in a windshield was hilarious, the scene with Angie's (Heard) parents, played by Ed Begley Jr. and Nora Dunn was a riot. Cleo King as a school resource office was excellent.
The comedy takes a back seat to action in the third act as the drug war goes full force.
All is well that ends well as Angie is out of the picture and Dale, Saul and Red ride off into the sunset together.
