Pineapple
Express
R
Seth Rogan and James Franco star in
a modern pot smoking comedy adventure for the new century. A slacker stoner
(who loves a high school senior, for shock value), meets his drug dealer to
score the new weed called pineapple express and they get high, but the senior
girl isn't there for that. Deviating from Kevin Smith territory quickly, the
slacker stoners find themselves accidentally embroiled in a drug war in their
town when one of them witnesses a drugland killing and accidentally drops his
special weed at the scene when he runs off. The result is a dizzying twisty and
paranoid race to avoid the bad guys and prevent the girl's family from being
involved somehow. Cheech and Chong would dig the first part. The second part is
more like a chase movie, spoofing the genre liberally, and there is even a
secret abandoned underground military bunker in it full of weed. Stoners would
like it until the stuff starts getting messy with all the chasing and shouting,
and eventually the shooting. Not a stoner review though. Go see it if you're
looking for escapist paranoid action comedy. Review by Adam Browne
