Review of Pineapple Express (2008) by Cameron B — 20 Jul 2012

Let's face it, comedic cinema of the decade so far has been dominated by the so-called Apatow Clan, a group of hard working individuals led by writer/director/pro ducer Judd Apatow. Their best effort of 2008 was this film, which deals with two stoners (Dale and Saul) on the run from powerful drug dealers and crooked cops whilst.

..under the influence. However, the film is much more interested in the dynamic between drug dealer (James Franco's Saul) and drug purchaser (Seth Rogen's Dale) as they narrowly avoid death. This character based humor allows Pineapple Express to separate itself from most mainstream comedies this year.
