I didn't laugh. Instead, I was sad, grossed-out and scared !

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2011)

This is Hollywood filth made under the name of comedy and action. It's mainly a buddy movie. It has the extremely predictable plot: "Someone witnessed accidentally a murder, so let's chase him, and his buddy, to kill them both", while carrying out the known by heart themes: From zeroes to heroes, from haters to lovers,.. you know.. the usual. However, it's done this round with 2 stoned guys. The result is fast-paced, explosive, totally unfunny garbage!
Save the opening credits sequence, that presented (Rogan)'s character and life, it was like the desert of writing, as it was all empty and dry. There is nothing remotely droll about the characters. Take for instance the evil men teams. They are evil, end of the story! When the script, any script, thinks that being sheer stupid will be funny, then it may be stupid itself. And by watching the leads of this movie, how they talk and deal, then IT IS stupid!
The dialogue consists of things which you can easily find in any bathroom's bowl right after using it. Writing those shoddy lines isn't a talented thing to do. The sexual references were many and ugly. The girlfriend says nothing but the F word. They overused the bad language to a degree where I was board to death. You have to be artistic when it comes to dealing with characters like stoned people. Otherwise, hanging with them would be more merciful. As you see, Hollywood writers have become worse than the stoned people!
(James Franco) is the last comedian on earth. He CAN'T make laughs. I don't know how to cast him in a comedy in the first place. He was torturous. (Danny McBride) was even more torturous. That guy oozes awfulness. He has anti-charisma that can turn you off for good. And it's not complete without the worst in history (Kevin Corrigan). OH MY GOD, here's someone who has nothing to do with comedy, or acting, or anything but provoking you!
I couldn't stand this amount of blood and gore, as if whatever they missed in comedy, they compensated by exploding foots, shooting bellies, cutting off ears; they did that last one and elongated it for what exactly?!
Nastiness for nastiness is essential in here. Recall the weird scene of selling weeds to very young teens?? I bet the movie's makers wanted to win more young audience by manipulating what's shown as their "forbidden dream". Therefore, at that point, I came to believe that the movie is a nasty drug itself! And that last scene; it's about friendship and unity and new beginnings (cancel the last one for the sequel!), but while it's played as serene moment, it was absolute gross and fake. It fits being the best end for the worst movie.
By the way, it wanted to be satirical as well. Yeah. Can you believe it?! By the intro scene, and the matter of someone from the police as a drug dealer, this movie points fingers at the authority as a beneficiary out of the youths, like the movie's leads, when they immerse in drugs. Bravo. However, the intro scene was bland, unutilized well, and hence ended up as unnecessary. The matter of the policewoman is usual; rather a worn-out habit in the American cinema during the last decades. And the crime of "getting benefits out of the youths by immersing them in drugs" can apply to the movie's producers also!
Still, there is the rock bottom. A line, said by (Franco), about how amazing the Pineapple Express weed is. To be honest, it was one of the most shocking moments in my life. The blasphemy wasn't more horrific like that before. It's so sinful; I can't accept that in the name of art (art? here?!), or else. Now my question isn't about how it has become frequent to find hideousness like that in Hollywood movies lately, as it turned into bizarrely natural, my question is about: how they didn't find any other line to make laugh except THIS??!
(Pineapple Express) isn't another bankrupt comedy only, but freely brutal and horrifically impudent also. The thing is nobody warned me earlier. I just heard that it made big money in America; which is something you have to be so alarmed by it lately. Obviously, the American viewers nowadays need non-stop blood, cursing and blasphemy. When Hollywood producers make a movie such as this, then it's understandable; they woo cheaply the dirtiest human lusts to make money. But when that same movie hit it high, then sure something is really wrong with the mentality of great deal of the American youth; or simply the demographic audience which goods of that sort are produced to.
I was sad and grossed-out while watching. The B movie, especially the buddy comedy, used to be something less tacky and no sickening. Now, we have pure garbage as entertainment? In fact, dumps are cleaner than this. So as a movie, to the toilet of my memories. But as a successful direct current, it's a sign of danger, and a reason to be scared.
