Review of Pineapple Express (2008) by Eli T — 26 Mar 2014
At best, a chuckle. At worst, full-blown idiocy. James Franco as Saul Silver easily has the best performance here, but apart from his notable acting there isn't much to see. Fake sets are easily discernible, distracting from the plot and giving the movie a low-budget feel.
The story is trash, but no surprise there. The biggest problem with this movie is Seth Rogen's performance. High-strung, pot-worshipping Dale Denton is not a likeable character, and the fact that he is one of the two main characters does not make the movie fun to watch.
Runtime is overly long as the script runs itself into the ground and jokes get staler, and the increasingly ridiculous plot simply exacerbates this problem. Mediocre.
