As far as stoner comedies go, they've grown pretty tired. I was really excited about this movie and I hoped the best for it. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best stoner comedies ever. The comedy has a nice kind of "you need to listen" touch mixed with pop culture reference joke system and it works very well. The characters are really easy to like (even most of the villains... except for Rosie Perez... she's annoying as FUCK) and the story is pretty interesting. The guys who steal the show are James Franco's drug dealer character Saul Silver, and Danny McBride's character Red. They both have hilarious parts and they always steal the scenes they're in. While it isn't the strongest of Apatow's comedies, it is a great one and ranks pretty high up there. Around the end of the movie, it turns into a Hot Fuzz-esque action movie. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it sometimes doesn't work and it gets pretty old (a good action comedy is Tropic Thunder.... everybody should watch that too XD). It get's pretty graphic but it maintains its stability as a comedy and manages to add SOME great action. All in all... Pineapple Express is a F*CKIN AWESOME movie. For those who love Superbad and other Apatow movies, or movies like the Harold and Kumar flicks, Pineapple Express is one hell of a time.

This movie.....kicked ass....
