Peaceful Stoner cried laughing watching Pineapple Express.

"I shot someone who was already dead, so that doesn't really count as a murder."
Prior to Pineapple Express, David Gordon Green's highest grossing movie was All The Real Girls, which made just barely over half a million bucks. This seems rather ridiculous to me. I mean, Undertow only grossed a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in its run. Were people stupid back 2004 or something? Even Snow Angels didn't break half a million at the box office. It must have been a nice feeling for DGG when he checked the box office on the Monday after Pineapple Express was released, and saw that in its opening weekend, it grossed much more than all of his previous films had combined.

Stoner Comedy, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Rosie Perez and Danny R. McBride
One of my favorite stoner comedies, it's almost two hours long and I laugh through almost the whole thing. This was my second watch and I was able to catch a bunch of subtle jokes that were going on and some back ground stuff that was either funny or just a nod to the culture. Plenty of laugh out loud moments and James Franco does a great job....probably cuz he was stoned half or more of the time. If you haven't seen this and enjoy this type of humor you need to check it out.

"Ted Jones messed with the wrong melonfarmers."
It's a disgustingly overused plaudit, but I can't help myself: Pineapple Express gets better every time I watch it. The chemistry between Rogen, Franco, and eventually McBride is just off the charts, and their numerous extended riffs throughout give you an idea of what a slightly more stoned, considerably more immature Jim Jarmusch movie might be like. Rogen and Goldberg's script is undoubtedly rough around the edges, but the dialogue is so nonstop hilarious and they treat their characters so much like real people that everything holds together even when shit gets crazy (and crazy it gets; as much as Superbad was a throwback to 80's sex comedy, Pineapple Express often plays like…

"Get the weed,"
"Okay,"
"Anything we might need, snacks, food, fruit rollups!"
A beautiful tale of bromance at its finest, Pinapple Express follows two stoners, Dale and Saul, through an unforgettable adventure. After getting arrested, stealing a cop car, getting into a fight with a drug dealer, getting shot at, selling weed to minors, getting shot at, running from 2 hitman, hiding in dumpsters and sleeping in the woods they suddenly come to the realization that they don't make the best decisions when high.
A story of friendship, sticking it to the man and Jeff Goldbloom impressions.

"I thought hurricane season was over!"
Endlessly quotable and rewatchable, and has much more of a brain than most people give it credit for. At first glance, you wouldn't necessarily think David Gordon Green directed it, but when you take into account the offbeat characters, the subversions of genre cliches, the striking use of outdoors and exteriors, and the amount of care that's obviously been put into every shot, edit, and music cue, it makes perfect sense.

Well it’s 4/20 and since I’m not going to be celebrating it in the, ummm, traditional manner I might as well throw in a movie about people who do what I do not. Pretty much the only “stoner” film that I like at all is this one, and after rewatching it my enthusiasm is renewed. This movie is awesome, hilarious, and much better made than most comedies and I feel like it’s been kind of overlooked over the years. When it came out it made decent money and earned positive reviews but was kind of dismissed as “just another Apatow production” and since then it’s been over-shadowed by David Gordon Green’s less successful forays into comedy. Hopefully more people will recognize its many charms in the coming years.

Life goal: watch Pineapple Express while high one time and see if it improves

It's not that I don't like weed, this just wasn't funny. The only thing I could relate to as a pot connoisseur is the charming after party in the diner. I've done that before and it made me giggle.

Worth watching for the great opening with Bill Hader.
