Decided to finally watch this because it’s the 10th anniversary. Bummed to realize I liked it about as much as I always thought I would! That final scene at the diner is charming though. As is James Franco. (Surprisingly.)

Is this what Comedy Heaven is like? If so, then praised be archangels Seth, James and Danny, for they are three madly hilarious winged dudes. Pineapple Express is one of the funniest, craziest and most entertaining comedies of recent times, and very few have come close to its amazingness since it descended from the skies. What makes it so amazing, besides an incredible cast stacked with comedy greats and a heavy emphasis placed on weed, is its seemingly hazardous and completely chaotic nature, which nicely ties into its stoner sensibilities. It’s a rare occasion when you get to praise a movie for being aimless and for having an excuse of a plot that seems to head in the direction of…

DUDE. WEED. LMAO.
Review by Ryan Francis ★★★★★

"It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn... with, like, a bomb. "
I love every minute of this, it hasn't become worn out for me at all during the numerous watches since first seeing it in the theater back in 2008. Pineapple Express is pretty much the perfect silly comedy for me - stoners involved in ridiculous situations and constantly saying hilarious things, over-the-top action and fight scenes, explosions, 'heat-seeking missiles... bloodhounds... foxes... barracudas....' - all of this involving Seth Rogen and the usual crew that show up with him in comedies.
It's a great time.

Review by anjy 🌻 ★★★½ 6

my 420th film on letterboxd :) this was much funnier and much more fun than i thought it was gonna be. the leads work well together, and i absolutely adore james franco in this. i don’t get why dale was in a relationship with a high school girl though that was 😳 not good.

Holy grail of stonermovies

Me, tomorrow night, after the second round of coffee and pie: "Lingerers, man!"
Review by Mike ★★★★

This movie makes a lot of sense when you watch it while high and with a friend.
Review by shadman rahman ★★★

Maybe I should have been more... inebriated to truly enjoy this film. It wasn't awful or anything just very, punchy explosion type action which I've personally never been into. Franco and Rogen, as per usual, make a great double act with their humour bouncing off one another very well but I can't get over the fact that this film feels very...bloated. It was most definitely 30 minutes too long (and I don't just say that because "comedies should be an hour thirty" - break the rules of writing and what not) and I will admit to drifting in and out of attention. There was just too much flash-flash-bang-bang for my taste or liking.
Maybe I will rewatch it one day but NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE NO SIREE I WILL NEVER TOUCH THE DEVILS LETTUCE OR HIS KETCHUP(?) I AM A GOOD BOY AND THE ONLY DRUG I TAKE IS LIFE LIFE IS MY DRUG AND NOT WEED.

really funny
Review by sybergore ★★★★

watched this while stoned out of my mind and just kept thinking "wow, this is brilliant I can't believe this movie exists"
Review by Lucas Arndt ★★★½

"Why would he bear arms??"
Fuck, man. This movie is just a good ass time.
Review by B ★★★

I think this movie is much sweeter and weirder than it gets credit for. Plus almost every secondary comedic performance is hilarious. Corrigan, Robinson, Cole, Perez, and McBride are excellent.
And Hader, as always, overshadows the whole movie with his role in the prologue.
Review by danny ★★★★

Whaaaat u sucked on her titties.

Review by hannahvb321 ★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

As a person who doesn't watch comedies all that often, I think this one was pretty alright. I really had no idea what to expect from this movie other than the fact that I had heard it was funny. After seeing it, I can say that the comedy held up throughout the film. I would watch it again if it was on TV for sure, and maybe even someday just watch it again with some friends. It all started out with Seth Rogen buying weed from James Franco. Rogen witnesses Francos dealer kill someone and it just spirals from there.
Positives:
- There were definitely some parts that were really funny and I laughed out loud.
- I think Seth…
