The Pineapple Express

[JayBee74]

Really looking forward to this one. I just saw the trailer this weekend, and there looks to be some great chemistry between Seth Rogen and James Franco. Check out the short plot summary on Wikipedia.

Yeah I watched the trailer earlier and it looks to be very promising. Probably currently my second most anticipated movie of the year.

First IRONMAN?

Harold & Kumar 2

What can I say, stoner comedies get me.

LOL, I like them too-hope it's as good as the first Harold & Kumar.

Re: The Pineapple Express

No way in hell the next Harold & Kumar tops the original...

However, I am definitely looking forward to Pineapple Express. I watched a scene months ago when Superbad came out on DVD (Special Features). It should be pretty damn good, as is anything with Seth Rogen and the whole Judd Apatow crew.

I know it's too early(opens April 8th) to start really getting into this movie but it's interesting that Rogen said he was hoping for a bigger budget than $25 million but the drug heavy subject manner prevented an expanding of the budget.

franco was one of the leads in Freaks and Geeks. Seth Rogen was a member of his entourage. who would've known Rogen would become so much more popular outta that whole group.

Re: The Pineapple Express

Saw this movie tonight, pretty damn funny. Not quite as funny as Superbad but that's not taking away from this movie.

Definitely worth going to see.

I saw it earlier in the week and I have to disagree. It's nowhere near as good as 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up or Superbad. Those, on the surface, were all extended sex jokes but they all had a good story behind them and likable characters. Pinapple Express is an extended weed joke that turns into an action movie for the last hour. It's defiintely got some quality laughs throughout, but it's not as funny as the previously mentioned movies and the story/characters are a LOT worse.

I think Aptow and Rogan got bored and wanted to try to make an action movie, they used a lowest common denominator(weed) to fuel the story and got to have some big action scenes and blow some things up.

I'm not recommending this as a must-see in theaters, it is certainly worth a rental but I'm very glad I didn't pay to see it in a theater.

WOW, the movies coming out early in some areas. I thought the premiere date was Aug 8.

It is, but they do a ton of advance screenings. It's for the press but there's only a handful of them so they give away a few hundred tickets to fill up the rest of the theater(give away a few hundred, but seating availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis).

Thanks, sorry that u didn't like it that much. I read a mixed, but generally favorable review on Variety.

It has it's fair share of laughs, it just doesn't stack up to the other three I mentioned earlier. Worth seeing, but I wouldn't recommend people rush to the theater, just my two cents.
