- For a comedy, this was a terribly unfunny film. There were a couple of gut-busting lines of the kind you find the other movies Seth Rogen shows up in, but for the most part I kept waiting and waiting for the next time I would laugh. I think I might have gone forty-five minutes without laughing.
- I’d like to blame this lack-of-funny on the fact that I was not high while seeing this movie, unlike the girl a few seats down who clearly was and sounded like a horse when she laughed through the entire thing, but I can’t. It’s just not funny. There were the typical “watch as two guys stoned out of their gourds say random and pointless shit to each other” scenes, but apart from that they actually spend very little of this movie high and it turns into a ridiculous and unnecessarily violent* while simultaneously lame action film with a plot connected to drugs. I don’t feel like a film should require you to be in an altered state in order to find it funny, especially a comedy.
*I like film violence, so it pains me to say that
- Heh, Kevin Corrigan!
- I did rather enjoy the scene at the girlfriend’s high school and the confrontation with her creepy ass teacher, who was clearly just the exact same character he was in Superbad but with a cardigan this time. You guys on MySpace?
- The point of Rosie Perez’s character was… what, exactly? Her being involved in the murder that Dale witnesses is solely so that we give them a reason not to go to the police with what they’ve seen. Couldn’t we come up with a better, off-screen reason for this that doesn’t necessitate the introduction of an otherwise pointless (and annoying!) character? Like, I don’t know, these guys are too stoned when the murder is witnessed that it doesn’t even occur to them to go to the police and instead choose to go on the run? Blah.
- B.F.F.F. — best fucking friends forever. I ♥ James Franco.
- Is Dale’s mangled ear supposed to gross the audience out or something? Come on, how long ago did Reservoir Dogs comes out? This is nothing compared to that. Fail.
- I didn’t realise how angry this movie made me. You would have thought sleeping on it would make me more positive about it.
Pineapple Express
Started out okay but quickly spiralled into stupidity, ineptitude, and unnecessary predictability.
