Way too much filthy language, but otherwise a fairly entertaining flick.

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2009)

This is a 'dumb' movie, in that it has a dumb story line and dumb characters. In that sense it has some similarities to 'Dumb and Dumber.' And while thinking about this movie I figured out why I don't like Will Ferrell dumb comedies, because Will Ferrell is not funny.
Seth Rogen is funny, and his 'dumb' movies, like this one, work. Here he is Dale Denton who is a process server, who carries lots of different changes of clothes in his beat-up car, so that he can gain natural entry to where is to serve the papers.
But aside from his job Dale's only existence seems to be as a stoner. He smokes pot before, during, and after his work day. James Franco as Saul Silver is his supplier, and who introduces Danny to the best of the best, called "Pineapple Express."
Danny's story is kicked up a notch when, as he is getting ready to serve more papers, sees a cop go into the house, shots are fired, and he witnesses the target of his papers bing murdered in the second story of the house. He may have escaped just fine but he tosses the butt of his Pineapple Express out the window, and naturally it is found, allowing the dealer to track him and Saul down, since Saul was the only one to have it.
Gary Cole is the drug dealer Ted Jones, and he was the one who shot the guy, along with his partner in crime, Rosie Perez as Carol - Female Cop.
The story gets more and more complicated but it involves Danny and Seth avoiding the guys who are hunting them.
