Review Tuesday: Pineapple Express (2008)

 

 

Pineapple Express

2008

Two idiots try to try to stay alive after witnessing a murder.

One day I decided to call it an early night and asked Mrs. Bax0jayz to select a movie. Much to my chagrin, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS was on the screen. 

 

"Oh," I muttered upon seeing her selection. 

 

"What's wrong?" she asked. 

 

"You know that this is a movie all about smoking weed, right?" I stated. 

 

"Really? There was none of that in the trailer and it looked really funny!" she responded.

 

Okay...

 

Dale Denton (Seth Rogan) is a middle-aged loser process server. He's dating a high school senior, Angie (Amber Heard). He also spends all of his off-time smoking pot. So one afternoon visiting his dealer Saul (James Franco), Dale picks up a baggie of an exclusive kush called Pineapple Express. Dale goes to serve the next person on the list with papers and witnesses the man committing an execution with the help of a cop. Dale runs off in a weed-induced paranoid state, while dropping his roach on the ground. Of course, the murderer SUPPLIED Saul with the Pineapple Express so he knows who to go after. 

 

This movie is simply stupid. It's basically a bunch of douche-bags high on weed making terrible decisions and none of it is funny. This movie is nearly two hours of un-funniness. I hated myself for wasting my time on it.
