“Pineapple Express” stars Seth Rogen as Dale Denton, a vocal marijuana advocate and user, who works for the city serving court orders to people. After picking up a fresh load of pineapple express, an extremely rare type of marijuana, from his drug dealer Saul (James Franco), Denton goes about with his job of serving court orders. At his next job Denton witnesses a murder involving a dirty cop. Panicking, Denton tosses the pineapple express roach he was smoking into the street, and hightails out of there. However, in the process he makes so much noise the murderer and his cop friend notice him. Desperate, Denton goes back to Saul’s place, where the two decide to run away, out of fear the roach Denton tossed out would be traced back to them. From there, hilarity ensues.
“Pineapple Express” proves to be comedic gold. Seth Rogen and James Franco both do a great job of making the viewer laugh, with lines like “Why didn’t you smash it (cell phone) against a rock like a normal person?” and (when being asked about how many women he had slept with) “Like two and a half.” “Pineapple Express” would be the perfect movie to watch after a really long stressful day, when you could use a good laugh.
Overall, “Pineapple Express” can be summed up with one word, funny. If you like Seth Rogen and his other comedies, such as “Knocked Up” and “Superbad”, you will enjoy “Pineapple Express.”
