At first, I wasn't really paying any attention to the movie. After watching the trailer, I was definitely going to watch this movie. Seth Rogen is a great comedian actor, but I didn't know anything about James Franco's comic side. After watching the movie, he was funny as hell. His fake hair was so realistic. I thought it was his real though, but obviously it wasn't. Whoever did the hair did a great job.
Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) is a lazy court clerk and a drug user. Every time he needs weed, he goes to his best friend Saul Silver (James Franco) to buy some, specially, one called Pineapple Express. One day, while in his car smoking weed (the pineapple express), Dale witness a murder buy a dirty cop and the city's drug lord. Dale panics and throws the weed out of the window and takes off in his car. He rushes to tell Saul what he saw and they both start running for their lives. Now, the dirty cop wants to kill the witness and sends his trio of bad guys to kill Dale and Saul also.
I thought the story was great and well told. I really like how everything was brought to the end of the film without any confusion. I enjoy the script from the beginning until the end.
Seth Rogen was the right choice for Dale Denton. I thought he was great and delivered a great hilarious performance. But I thought James Franco was amazing as Saul Silver. He really look like a big time drug addict. Every time he was on a scene, I laughed. He is one of the funniest character in the movie.
I really like how the action was mix up with the humor. It wasn't force at all like other comedies. It was perfectly done. I laughed throw the entire movie. There wasn't a minute where I couldn't stop laughing. I thought the action was good though. I was not expecting that much gun firing in the movie.
Pineapple Express is one of the funniest movie this year. Seth Rogen and James Franco were hilarious in the movie, especially Franco. If you are a comedy movie fan, then I believe this movie will leave wanting even more.
