A Couple Of Stoners Turn Rambo

Rating: 2/10 (25 August 2008)

Don't look for anything to terribly sophisticated in Pineapple Express. In fact the nuggets of humor to be mined here are few and far between.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the notion of a minor league drug dealer and his number one customer as heroes is just a bit bizarre for my taste. But that's what happens when Seth Rogen after making a purchase of some really primo grass called Pineapple Express, just fresh on the market, he sees a murder committed by a big drug lord, Gary Cole and his girlfriend, policewoman Rosie Perez.
That telltale roach he left behind leads Cole and Perez to dealer James Franco and they spend the rest of the film running for their lives. Until the very end when they turn Rambo and all the drug traffickers in two gangs get dealt with severely.
And I certainly don't see anything remotely humorous in these two lugnuts looking for traveling money, selling some of this really good marijuana to school kids.
But what do I know and I reached maturity in the Sixties.
