Last week I went and saw the Pineapple Express. My expectations weren't too high (no pun intended) but I have enjoyed the other movies from the Seth Rogen/Judd Apatow stable and figured that this was worth a look.
This was one of those films that you laugh pretty good in parts but when you look back on it, you think, that was pretty dumb. It was a far-fetched tale with a few good jokes but overall, I was not impressed. The best part in the movie BY FAR was the first scene which flashes back to the 1940s where the US military is experimenting with and testing certain kinds of Marijuana. Bill Hader (who played Officer Slater in Superba and is in the Office) is the test subject and the scene is fall-out-of-your-chair funny. The rest of the movie is pretty dumb and goes from pure nonsense to taking itself way too seriously. Not a total WOT, but not as great a movie as the critics say it is.
Overall: Two stars out of five
