Pineapple Express

I originally thought this was a movie about Hawaii's new transportation system. Perhaps a mental transportation, but certainly not a physical one.

Seth Rogen and James Franco star in Pineapple Express, the zany comedy where they're being chased by the bad guys after they witness a murder while doing a stakeout in order to issues a summons. Seth Rogen is the average guy who likes to smoke a little pot, okay, a lot of pot. This is a character that Seth Rogen has perfected, almost as if he really likes to smoke a lot of pot.

James Franco, best known as the son of the Goblin, is Rogen's dealer. Rogen figures out that they'll probably find the roach and figure out that it's the pineapple express blend, track down the dealer and find him. So both go on the run.

Also in typical form, Rogen uses the movie as an opportunity to break the world record for dropping the F-Bomb in a 2 hour movie. I thought the South Park movie held the record, but according to this site, Pineapple Express actually comes in 62nd place.

The movie has some cameos by some has-beens and some future has-beens, including Nora Dunn, Ed Begley Jr, and Bill Hader.

Pineapple Express is rated R for persistent and pervasive language, some drug use, wait, lots of drug use, some sexual innuendo, and lots of violence. But don't get me wrong the violence is mostly hysterical. The movie is 129 minutes long.

Overall I give this movie 3 stars. Most of my friends gave it 4 stars, but all will admit that I'm slightly turned off by foul language. The movie is a good laugh, though. Check it out!
