Outragoeus, timeless, and by all means fun

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2020)

Endlessly entertaining, hilarious, and quite fun- Pineapple Express makes the best out of its outrageous script, ridiculous characters, and wonderful cast to provide for one of the greatest comedies of the year- if not the decade. The film does have its fair share of flaws, with a beginning that seems to only serve as a starting point rather than proving to be of any true value, and a few generic characters throughout. That being said, though the film's script is at times flawed and even thin, it is a massively fun time that nails every joke, punch, and moment of dialogue it has to say. Seth Rogen and James Franco make for a great duo, and though they did star in a couple more films together after this one, I would love to see the two of them and their great chemistry again on screen sometime soon. Danny McBride also gives a great performance as always, as well as a fine performance from Amber Heard, but unfortunately her character goes pretty much nowhere. The music in the film is a surprisingly fun touch, and the direction in the film is what truly feels like it is tied together. Without David Gordon Green, I feel like the film would be a lot messier than it is today, and thank god for having him on board, and making the film such a blast to watch.
My Rating: 9.5/10
