Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express

Who's in it: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride, Gary Cole

What's it about: Dale(Rogen) is a pothead. His dealer is Saul(Franco). When Saul gets a special shipment of the upcoming rage called Pineapple Express, Dale just has to have some. When Dale witnesses a murder, he throws his roach out the window and runs for it. Ted(Cole), the city's biggest dealer, is on the lookout for Dale and Saul. They meet up with their middleman, Red(McBride), who's already been threatened by Ted's people. The three of them get together in an attempt to shut Ted down as well as save their own lives.

What I Think: I originally saw this in the theatre. It was ever better a second time around. Rogen is popping up in movies everywhere. His distinct voice is even being used in animated films. I enjoy his type of comedy. Franco did an amazing dealer. He has the smile of one and the voice of one. McBride was hilarious! I would love to be him because he always gets the crazy, yet awesome, roles in films. Cole had his moments during the movie but wasn't all that great.
