Eh. *shrug*

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2008)

Twenty-something Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) serves subpoenas for a living, has an eighteen-year old girlfriend in highschool and gets his regular stash from loopy pusher Saul Silver (James Franco), who sells him a rare kind of weed called Pineapple Express. Dale unfortunately becomes an eyewitness to a murder involving the drug lords and now has to run for his life while protecting the people he has come to love.
Was really looking forward to this purported laughfest but it unfortunately fell short on the chuckles and rambled on too long. A noteworthy revelation, however, is Franco as Saul the stoner. He is able to transform himself from his previous pretty boy roles into ultimate grungy slacker mode and can actually be comedic. Rogen played it safe and disappoints in this flick, while the rest of the supporting cast just continued to be shockingly violent idiots. Surprising are the rave reviews this one got; it wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be.
