Pineapple Express (Review)

What I knew going in:
Seth Rogen

Hype:
Meh. Another comedy. Whatever. Do something to impress me please.

Opening Thoughts:
Oh no its a weed movie. I mean, the closest I've ever come to doing drugs is getting a contact high. People acting stupid is going to be this whole movie's schtick.

Bottom Line:
Bored. Bored. Not funny. Oh wait that's .... uh... yeah. kinda. Hunh? Witness to a murder? Car chase? Exploding barns? WTF? Am I on drugs just sitting here? Alright so the first half of the movie, the parts that are supposed to be funny, fell completely flat. Its only once the actual plot gets started that the movie has a smidgeon of wit and takes you along for a admittedly wierd ride. While its not half bad, I can't recommend this to anyone, UNLESS you are having a doob with a pack of buddies at least once a week and you need a drug movie to get you through the lows between drags. Go get any other Seth Rogen movie - they are all better than this one.
