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.

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.
