Has anyone else gone to see this? I think this movie was hilarious. Not as good as Anchorman or Superbad, but right up there for sure. I REALLLY liked James Franco in this movie; he played a great stoner! And I really like the character "Red". The guy who plays him was also in The Heartbreak Kid (as the cousin) and in Tropic Thunder (as the explosives guy). Anyways, I thought this movie was super funny, and worth an afternoon in the theatre. Not that I'd know personally, but I think it'd be even funnier if you partook in a bit of BC Gold first.

My daughter and son have both seen it and just thought it was hysterical.

I saw it too, on the same day I saw the new Batman. Guess which one I liked better? Franco is great. I could watch him all day. And Seth Rogan cracks me up. I knew I had seen the explosives guy in Tropic Thunder before, I just couldn't place him, but yes! Funny flick.

i saw this up here in the mountains at a small town theater. i was the only attendee! and i did think it funny at first but was put off by the ultra violent ending. it's a pet peeve of mine to be in laughing mode and then see gore. not a good finish for me so i haven't recommended it to anyone.

I felt the same, Dovez. Lots of funny bits, even laugh out loud bits, but the ending was violent and gory. I saw Tropic Thunder directly afterwards, and liked that better, because at least I knew there would be gore!

<---- wonders if Kitt and her were on a date I went to Pineapple Express first, then walked directly into the Tropic Thunder theater right after. I was also annoyed with the violet action-flick ending. Actually, I dozed off on my boyfriend's shoulder for it. It was dumb. It was like, they started with one director, then fired him, and hired an action director for the ending. I loved when they were all having breakfast at the end though. Back to funny movie.

Yes, I would agree that all the shoot-em-up stuff seemed out of place in Pineapple. They could have done without all the "action" sequences. I chalk it up to the boys wanting to play with their toys (guns and pyrotechnics). Now the "violence" at the start of Tropic Thunder was just SO gross! I was trying to eat and I had to put my hand up to block the screen. Ew!

ITA Brenda! I totally thought it was just one of those movies that guys have always wanted to make. A story about getting high, combined with action-fighter scenes. LOL The only thing missing was boobiessssss!!!

Only if you were wearing a disguise to make you look exactly like my dh, Eeyore.

LOL Kitt, and you, a disguise to look like my bf. Oddly enough, as we were heading out of Tropic Thunder, my bf said he recognized a lot of people from being in Pineapple Express earlier. Looks like we aren't the only ones with the idea to take in two movies for the price of one! LOL

Kitt, I'm the same way. When I do a double feather I buy two tickets. Only one time did I ever sneak into a second film and I kept thinking they were going to come tap me on the shoulder and ask for my ticket -- I was so nervous I couldn't enjoy myself. LOL. Lest you think I'm a goodie-two-shoes, I do smuggle in food and drinks, but I can't theater hop. LOL.

We regularly theater hop. They are rarely making movies WORTH the ridiculous price of admission nowadays, so it's my way of telling them what their product is REALLY worth. Nowadays, we LOOK for the theatre we like to have TWO movies, and catch two at a time. We don't go to just one now. I like the food at the theatre we like (Taco Bell), so I don't smuggle food in, but they don't carry gingerale, so I smuggle a bottle in for the first show.

They have taco bell at your theater?! Yum! Are the prices really inflated, like $4.99 for a $1.29 taco? LOL. The theater owners are probably not as concerned with theater hoppers becaus they make their money on consessions. Because I love going to the movies I do buy their overpriced popcorn to help them stay in business.
