Just an all around, very physical, and insane movie. I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen, but I loved this movie!

This movie is hilarious! I really reccomend it to anyone, but anyone who likes stoner comedies in particular! Seth Rogen is a comic GOD!!!

Funniest Movie of The Year!!!!!!!!!! 10+!!!!! Awesome Character's, Awesome Writing, Awesome Comedy!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!

Most of the negative reviews here are from straight-edge critics who don't appreciate the looseness of the film or closet homosexuals who feel uncomfortable with the movie's hilarious homo-erotic innuendo. If you're not a stiff you'll like this film. if you're cool you'll love it.

Non stop laughs from beggining to end, whent to the movie and got what i expected. Smoking weed and explosions.

This is the funniest movie I've seen this year. Definitely a stoner movie. Watch this and I guarantee it will make you laugh the whole time!

This movie is in my top 5. The first time i saw this movie, I watched it 3 times in a row and laughed non-stop every time. The jokes are side splitting, the action is exciting and funny, and as a casual weed smoker; incredibly realistic script.

Unbelievably funny! This is what would happen if Half-Baked and Diehard were cut together.

Words to Frannie(Meg Ryan) in Jane Campion's unfairly maligned "In the Cut" is what smoking weed means to Dale Denton(Seth Rogen); these disparate labors of love are their passions. Late in the Campion film, the Virginia Woolf scholar literally goes to the lighthouse, a decontextualized lighthouse which is then appropriated for the site of the movie's climax. Relevance to this stoner flick, you ask, from the guy who graced the indie world in 2000 with his Terrence Malick-like "George Washington"(a meditative and lyrical film about Atlantan youth that couldn't be any more different than this Cheech-and-Chong-have-feelings-too farce)? Well, in "Pineapple Express", Dale ends up at a massive greenhouse of cannabis plants and wonders aloud if he's in El Dorado(which is alluded to in "Heart of Darkness", both "To the Lighthouse" and the Joseph Conrad novel are modernist texts). Like the lighthouse in the Campion film, the isolated farmhouse that harbors the drugs have a hallucinatory texture to the narrative. Both "In the Cut" and "Pineapple Express" are thrillers, and if genres have genders, a film that's steeped in action could be characterized as being male in the narrative sense. Unbeknownst to the people who green-lighted the "Meg Ryan's Gone Wild" vehicle that stalled both women's careers, Campion feminized the masculine storyline by rupturing the text with static talk(the dialogue-heavy scenes between Ryan and Jennifer Jason-Leigh), instead of action. "Pineapple Express" subverts the male narrative, too; most pointedly, in the woods, where Dale and Saul(as in the late-Saul Bellow, perhaps?) are incapacitated by their drug-induced state to do anything to advance the plot. Just like Campion(the feminist auteur from Australia who's best known for "The Piano"), this filmmaker isn't afraid of making narrative detours that rebels heartily against story convention, by foregrounding scenes which would be more at home in a "chick-flick"(Rogen, James Franco, and Danny R. McBride aren't afraid to express their feelings like women) than a violent action-thriller, mostly played for laughs. Not only is the film transgressive, but the filmmaker's inclinations, as well. Films such as the aforementioned "George Washington", and "All the Real Girls", were a breath of fresh air because they came out during a time when the bastard children of Quentin Tarantino were at their loudest and brattiest. In "Pineapple Express", the poetry of "Badlands" has been replaced by the poetry slam of the post-modernist "Pulp Fiction". And wouldn't you know it, Red(Danny R. McBride) has a CUT on his lip("In the Cut" is slang for vagina; Dale describes the strain of pot called Pineapple Express, as God's vagina).… Expand

Red is possibly the greatest character since Michael Corleone and Danny McBride deserves the best supporting actor oscar more than Ledger. Would have given this a 10 if not for Bill Hader showing up at the beginning and almost ruining the movie.

A cheerful comedy with fantastic acting.

One of my favorite movies of 2008....over the top in every area: comedy, action, violence...expect a wild ride...and if you go in expecting a typical comedy you're really in for a ride.

This, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight complete the trifecta of "must see" films this summer with The Pineapple Express being the easy going yet action fueled comedy extravaganza of the three (even though Iron Man had its humorous charming side). Seth Rogen once again hits the screen as the goofy lovable lead character but this time he's joined by James Franco who turns in his most entertaining performance to date as the constantly high easy-going Saul. The whole movie is chock full of gags and whether you're a stoner or not chances are (if you have a sense of humor) you'll enjoy watching these misfits make some of the silliest, most cliched decisions on earth that simply DO NOT WORK in the land of reality and being blazed simply encourages them to commit these idiotic acts. Something that DID really surprise me was the level of violence in the film, which at times is a bit excessive but usually a gag follows shortly after to eliminate the weirdness of gratuitous violence overshadowing comedy. Overall, this is a VERY enjoyable movie with an endearing quality about it, watching the two leads (both goofballs) converse and slowly become pals is poetry in motion. Highly recommended......and a warning, you may get the munchies.… Expand

I've never smoked pot in my life, but i LOVED this movie. The last scene will go down as a classic.

Critics like M. Phillips complain about the excessive violence in the second half of the movie. But I found myself laughing through the second half because the violence is stoner movie excessive and improbable. It is more in the spirit of 3 Stooges violence.

Funniest movie I've seen in a VERY long time. Probably my favorite put out by the Apatow gang!

An instant classic, I hate slapstick, but this so well done, I was laughing until I couldn't breath the whole through. I don't know why this got so low scores, the whole theator was going crazy when I saw it.

Wow!! This movie is a masterpiece! Make sure to smoke some good weed before going watch this movie!

New York Magazine is off their rockers. This movie is a classic.

Very very hilarious and action packed. Lengthy, but that isn't a complaint from me. Danny McBrides breakout performance, Franco's Tour De Force, Rogen's normal hilarity. Everything about this movie is great. Must see.

Fu*k these critics. I can't believe they are giving this crappy reviews. I thought it was an awesome movie and I wasn't even High, although many in the audience were. Not quite as good as superbad but definitely a hilarious comedy worth watching multiple times like superbad and grandma's boy. sorry if the critics are retarded and didn't think it had enough action... it was a comedy first with action in it. Even the action is awesome whiles the comedy stand on top. I say definitely a B+ to A-. It's the Shizznit.… Expand

One of the funniest films I've seen in years - I laughed so much at some sight gags and fight scenes I missed the next two minutes of dialogue

An almost perfect comedy; the new wave cheech and chong and todays "half baked". However I was looking at the reviews and I honestly think that the people that didn't like it have probably never smoked which I dont recommend. It's like going to see old school during a prohibition; you just wont get it fully

The humour in this movie can be pretty subtle, but once you pick up on the feel of the film, it becomes a comedy on a separate level from other comedies. It makes you feel good, the characters are very lovable (I give particular kudos to Franco, whose character is one of the most likable I have seen in a long time). You have to get it to like it, but once you do this film lands a special place in your heart. Highly recommended.… Expand

A great movie if you have a positive mental association with marijuana. A funny movie if you are neutral to the topic. Probably a poor choice if you disdain hippies and drug use. Mostly realistic but a hair corny or unrealistic at a couple points.

I don't smoke (does that matter?), I particularly don't like stoner movies, and I never liked any of the Cheech & Chong movies (sorry C&C fans!), so I watched this movie with the notion that it would flat out suck. Guess what? I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rogen was somewhat dull, and I would've liked to see someone else play his role, but Franco played his part perfectly. Some lines were so random and ridiculous that I couldn't help but to think if the writers were high when writing the script. There were some parts that kind of dragged and were completely over the top, but I still liked it nonetheless. All in all, a great movie.… Collapse

I have no idea what happened. I was stoned when i watched it. What an experience.

Probably my favorite Apatow movie. This movie is awesome!!

possibly the best stoner movie i have ever seen. subtract the violence and its my life. Having been in the shoes of both Dale and Sal i can understand where they are coming from. Smoking before this movie is a good idea but as Rogen writes "it makes food taste better and music sound better" and movies funnier.

One of the better Apatow flims, not quite Knocked Up though. I don't remember watching violence and laughing so much. I felt a little gulity. Franco does for ambitious action-stoner films as Ledger did for comic book villians. As did newcomer Danny R. McBride, who wasn't exactly sure on who's side to be on. And to get the best up and coming American director in Green(All The Real Girls, George Washington), was a pleasent surprise.… Expand

This movie was really funny. An all around good buddy action movie that both sober and stoners can enjoy.

Wow. I can not begin to explain the hilarity of this movie. I was sitting in the theater, laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks. I have always been a huge fan of Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow and have also liked some of the other members of the cast. Of course this is for people who have a more...immature..sense of humor. Either way, i enjoyed this movie. If you enjoyed movies such as 40 year old virgin, knocked up, superbad, etc, you will more than likely enjoy this. I recommend watching it right away!… Expand

Funniest movie I've seen in weeks, since Tropic Thunder. both equally funny movies for different reasons. Red is the sh*t!

This was a great success!

Before I watched this, I thouht it was just a stupid stoner comedy. Well, technically it is that. But it manages to be awesome at the same time. Pineapple Express is easily one of the best comedies I've seen in years. The acting is great, especially from James Franco, the writing is hilarious, and the action is awesome! Overall, this is an epic comedy that will make your face hurt.

Pineapple Express is a movie I didn't expect much from but ultimately turned into a movie I really enjoyed, it's a HILARIOUS movie about a stoner who witnessed a murder, now and him and his dealer are on the run, if you like comedies or Seth Rogen you'll love this movie.

like a grandparent you haven't seen in a while, pineapple express rambles on and on too long without anything let alone amusing get absorbed into your hearing.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT WAS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! james franco and danny mcbride and craig robertson were hilarious.. this is what comedy is all about. but the ending is bloody as hell. great script. funny lines. great movie. i love it!!!!!!

A different plot from the norm of stoner films it is still nothing special but this film has a ton of funny moments and you will enjoy it if you like comedy, stoner films or if you are a stoner

Great Movie for Stoners. I can't tell if it's good for people who are not smoking pot. I think the movie got some great jokes and funny characters ( especially Saul and Red)

Along with extreme action, this movie is hilariously funny and deserves to be liked. Why else am i writing reviews for good movies. If you like comedy and action/violence, this is the movie.

The Brian Gordon Green directed "Pineapple Express" tells the story of Dale Denton (Rogen) and Saul Silver (Franco), two pot-smoking friends who end up becoming deeply involved with a gang ruthless drug dealers. Now, I had always heard "Pineapple Express" was a brilliant blend of genres, and that's what it is - a great stoner comedy that successfully blends buddy-action elements into it's story. The script was hilarious, as it's written by Seth Rogen himself and fellow successful screenwriter Evan Goldberg. The comedic elements written into said script ,although low-brow and often dark, came off as very breezy and ended up being one of the key factors of appeal for the film. Though the best part about the film, for me, was the really believable chemistry between James Franco and Seth Rogen. The two have worked together before on the cult television series "Freaks And Geeks", and their real-life friendship transfers very beautifully on film. Surprisingly enough, the movie also featured a sufficient amount of thrills and action - especially towards the end. Overall, I found "Pineapple Express" to be a delightfully funny buddy-stoner-action-comedy that brought the laughs and surprises in shovelfuls.… Expand

Seth Rogen and James Franco create a dynamic duo of hilarity in "Pineapple Express". The cast of this riot of comedy seemed to have enjoyed themselves, which in terms made makes me enjoy the film.
