Pineapple Express - 2008- film only review Directed by - David Gordon Green Cast - Seth Rogan as Dale Denton James Franco as Saul Silver Danny R McBride as Red Gary Cole as Ted Jones Rosie Perez as Carol - Female cop Kevin Corrigan as Budlofsky Craig Robinson as Matheson **************************************************** I have to admit that I am a big fan of Judd Apatow comedies, his crass toilet humor and sex and drug themes that ooze out of his movies is something I just find really funny. I know a lot of people who don't like this type of film and humor as they find it immature ...  Read the complete review

David Gordon Green's Pineapple express has not had a single bad word spoken about it from anyone I know and have spoken to about it. Especially around boys who tend to favor the silly ways of the grown men still acting as though adolescent. So where to start?

There are probably few people that wanted to love Pineapple Express as much as I did - the prospect of a stoner action comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco just sounded...magical. Sadly, the end result isn't quite as funny and thrilling as I'd hope - it's only, excuse the pun, half baked.

Pineapple Express is the latest in a string of films from a motley crew of immature comedy geniuses. The likes of Will Ferrell and John C Reilly, so prevalent in the earlier part of this decade, have gently paved the way for the next phase to come through.

Rogen plays Dale Denton, a bored subpoena server who likes to make his job more interesting by dressing up before saying the line, 'You've been served!' Denton seems normal on the surface, but has an addiction: he just loves the effects of smoking a variety ...  Read the complete review
