I am speechless. Anyone who sees this move knows what i'm talking about, don't you Brendan? But I think this is probably the most 'serious' movie i hav on my faverates! Micheal Cera and J.K. Simmions always deliver. But Ellen Page (fellow Canadian) who I'm amazed i have not heard of yet blew me away. SEE IT OR DIE!!!!!!!!!!

VANCOUVER REVIEW:
Just to be clear I saw this film before Brendan! OK? Good! Now ... first of all I saw this in an empty movie theatre at noon with my Great Aunt, so maybe I have to see this agian in better cercumstances! But what they have done here is spot on satire and have done a great job poking fun at holywood, that part of it was brillient! Actors!: I love Jack Black he can pull of any joke in my mind, he was the highlight for me! Steve Coogan was pretty good and I think I'll like him in Hamlet 2. Jay Baruchel did a very good job of playing "the grounded newcomer"! Danny McBride is finally getting the parts he deserves with Pineapple Express and now this role witch seems to be writen just for him! But Bill Hader's role doesn't seem to use his great talents effectivlly, unlike Hot Rod, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshal and most recently Pineapple Express did! Hey remember when I said that Jack Black was the highlight? I lied! It is oviously Robert Downey Jr. who's preformance is the first of this kind really scine he was an SNL cast member (welcome back!) and is pretty deep for this type of film and just not quite Oscar worthy (but I would like to see him nomitnated because big laugh-out-loud comdies are never really reconized in the oscars)! Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey are better than EVER (maybe know people will start beleaving me about how much McConaughey is like Owen Willson)! Unfortunetly someone who is not better than usual is Ben Stiller! Now I know that Stiller is responsable for the whole thing (wrote, directed) I just wish that he stayed behind the camera! This film was a little like Harold & Kumar in that it could be very clever and incredably stupid at the same time!
My faverate quote is Jack Black biting a live bat to get his drugs ... that quote has no words.

Brandon has been saying this for years "Asians!" Let me just say; I have never really known what "on the edge of your seat" really ment until now! This movie is packed with action, full of suspense and triger happy! but that's not to say it's not funny because it is gut-busting (and not just Red's gut)! Infact this film is now offically my faverate Apatowian picture!!! That is saying something! My close-secound faverate: Superbad was also writen by Rogan and Goldberg, stirking gold twice is no coincidence! Plus an awesome cast: Seth, James, Bill Hader are all great as always! My faverate preformance was Danny McBride in his first worthy roll scine Hot Rod, infact I think i like his preformance in this better! I liked how they made the action seem real in that people didn't die right after being shot, however Red would not die! I was not really familure with David Gordon Green, but he is a great Directer and made this the most artful of these films! They say they might make a Pineapple Express 2. I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand this is the most sequal friendly Judd Apatow film there is! One the other hand this film did wrap up nearly everything up with finality (except the plot line between Dale and his girlfriend) plus like I said this was my faverate Apatow and I don't want them to ruin it! We'll just have to wait and see! So until next time; "F**K THE POLICE!!!"

Hamlet 2 I'm in no rush to see, but the Rocker I want to see very badly! It looks amazing! Anyways, did you read some of my Pineapple Express review? Judt wonderin since you noted some stuff I said about it.

But Apatow wrote the story with Rogen and Goldberg, Rogen and Goldberg wrote it in screenplay form. Now all of a sudden, I really wanna see the Rocker!
posted 2 days ago -
whatever, Bill Hader was awesome, just not in the best scene. kids who bought pot were funny, but showed kinda opposite of what Apatow thought about drugs. I

Pineapple Express
by BrendanWhen you're given something from the Apatow team, you know it isn't going to be your usual comedy, you'll be getting two things in one. With Knocked Up, it was Romance/Raunchy, With Superbad, it was Teen/Raunchy (Maybe "teen" was only needed to describe it) and with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, that was Romance/Raunchy and the list continues on. If you haven't noticed yet, raunchy is a big part of the Apatow line and it always will be, unless he starts becoming a stupid family film fanatic like Chevy Chase, but we all know that softer side from Judd usually results in things like Drillbit Taylor. Now he's back for a fourth time this year, along with the duo who wrote Superbad, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg , and a very talented director, David Gordon Green (Snow Angels) and together, they bring forth a fresher form of comedy, Action/Crime/Stoner and yes, raunchy. But I can sum all what it is into one name: Pineapple Express.
You can probably see that I know a bit about Judd Apatow and his work, pretty much because I like/love most of the movies he produces, directs and solo writes. The movies he co-wrote suck or semi-suck. Pineapple Express had a lot to live up to, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the best Apatow has done so far in my opinion, and it's one of my favorite movies of the year. I knew Step Brothers wasn't going to do it, but Step Brothers kind of caught me off guard with the fact that it was quite clever, and that chemistry between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly was undeniably there. Also, I saw Tropic Thunder, a great, GREAT action/comedy that had the funnies worthy of the all-star cast, that it ended up deserving.. Pineapple Express doesn't have a fantastic cast and some of the notable actors here are in Tropic Thunder too. But what Tropic Thunder doesn't have is Seth Rogen and James Franco. These two reunite after a long while, since Freaks and Geeks was canceled in 2000, a crime still to this day that someone would end such an amazing show. Anyways Seth Rogen has made a name for himself since then, Knocked Up made him my hero. Okay, not my hero but the fact that a fellow Canadian and a fellow British Columbian made it big is just a really cool thing. James Franco was great in the Spider-Man films, but I don't believe his actual talent was fully realized in those films. Pineapple Express brings the best out of both Rogen and Franco, together with an even more convincing chemistry than that of John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell.
It's hard to play a stoner, making it look real and feel real to the viewers. Rogen though, is already a master at this sort of thing, thanks to films like Knocked Up. Franco steals the show in Pineapple Express, he's surprisingly brilliant his performance and is probably the funniest person not to have a cameo. Speaking of cameos, Bill Hader comes along in a funny sequence in the beginning, but I didn't feel that scene was really necessary, it wasn't even clever stupid. We've also got Danny McBride who does a job well done as Red, the guy who can't seem to die. Then there's Amber Heard, who replaced Olivia Thirlby for the role of Angie Anderson Dale's (Seth Rogen) high school girlfriend. It's a bit of a creepy relationship, but hey, what would you expect from an Apatow film. The unexpected pretty much. Heard is less of a deep actress than Thirlby, but I think a somewhat blind girl who thinks a 25 year-old low life is sexy, didn't need anyone shooting for an Oscar. There are plenty of other good performances but overall, Franco wins the most attention, especially when he's stoned out of his mind, or not.
Pineapple Express is more than a comedy for sure, more than just a stoner comedy too. Yes, you'll laugh your head off but it actually makes for a great action flick and okay crime thriller. I remember there was a lot of moments where I was at the edge of my seat, waiting for a bullet to be fired, or that there'd be some Asian assassin or Gary Cole around the corner. Others, I would be laughing too hard to even manage getting a bite of popcorn. And then there's plenty of drugs all over the film, either being smoked with a lighter, or explosives. It really would send a mixed message to the younger viewers, especially the scene where Saul and Dale are selling Pineapple Express to some young kids for money, but most of it is just funny to watch. The climax of the movie is fantastic, funny and loaded with tension and more fun than anything Tropic Thunder had actually. Some people were complaining that Pineapple Express was slightly gory, but I liked the fact that is was realistic like Superbad, except for the fact that Red (Danny McBride) could never die. I'm a bigger fan of the realistic films the Apatow gang does, they're easier to identify with and I think director David Gordon Green strongly realized this was the way to go. Without David Gordon Green, the film wouldn't have been much, even with Rogen and Goldberg's screenplay. Green's style is solid and brings the best out of this flick, giving a bigger, greater package of guns and weed.
Sadly, Pineapple Express has quite a few problems that make it quite disappointing for me and maybe my unrealistic expectations. Bill Hader's cameo is funny, but the scene he's in didn't work for me, mainly because it just set the wrong mood for the movie. This movie is not stupid, the humor is clever and the action is jaw dropping and this scene was completely out of place. It does tell you something that relates to the movie, but something we knew before we even heard of this movie. There was also that scene when Dale and Saul were selling those drugs to the kids, that was a little unsettling and could offend parents, but I still thought of it as a little smart in its own creepy way. Pineapple Express has trouble finding a balance with the content it has. You'll be laughing your head off at times when people are getting killed, which gives you a mixed feeling. And then all of a sudden, it gets gory when it seemed tamed the whole way through, turning into a different kind of movie. I'm not going to bother saying other things about this major flaw, see this film, but sometimes it gives us too much or too little at some very wrong times.
Pineapple Express is the definitive stoner flick for sure, while presenting some entertaining action sequences and wreaking the laughs not many other comedies this year have managed to give. It's forgettable, unlike Sarah Marshall and it's no Knocked Up, but thanks to the strong team of a great producer, two great writers, a talented director and James Franco, this is a powerhouse of a fun fest, having us laugh until we cry. I like it more than Superbad and half a molecule more than Tropic Thunder, but like every movie out there, it's still flawed. For all you potheads and non-potheads, see this film after you see Tropic Thunder, you'd be saving the best for last. Whether you're high on weed or high on white-out, or not high at all, you'll find Pineapple Express to be a blast from start to finish, if you can make your way around the mess.
Dale Denton: If you're a dick your whole life, you're going to come back as something bad like a slug or a fu**in' anal bead. But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law. Now which would you rather be, an anal bead or a dragon.
Red: I think...the anal bead...depending on who it belongs to.
Dale Denton: It belongs to me.Hey, you should really see this!

Yeah, my sister has a cock. couldn't find a pic of me that worked, so I thought I'd expose my sisters secret. But man, I thought Stiller was better than Jack Black in this one, Jack didn't do much. Should watch it with friends next time. And I HAVE watched Walk Hard with friends, last night and I watch it, the more I hate it, but Tropic Thunder was way better than Step Brothers, it also got better reviews than Pineapple Express

no then, you saw it before me, you can add that to Pineapple Express and Hot Rod. I guess you didn't like Tropic Thunder that much. I guess it would've been better with friends. I saw it with Kyle, Elmaz, Medium C and Lord Moldyshorts, we all loved it!
