Pineapple Express
August 10th, 2008
It’s been a while since we’ve gone and seen a non-big screen required film at the cinema, by which I mean your heavily special effects laden extravaganzas or action pieces (like Dark Knight) or the must see so nobody spoils it film (Sex and the City).
Which is not to say that Pineapple Express should not be seen at the cinema, in fact quite the opposite, I recommend going and seeing this movie as soon as you reasonably can, I mean don’t quit work to go see it, unless you really hate your job and were going to quit anyway and why not wrap your afternoon up by going to the cinema.
It’s just with the Apatow comedies we’ve generally found them to be just as satisfying seeing them on DVD and really I suspect that Pineapple Express is probably just as good on TV as it is on the big screen but why should you wait until it makes it to DVD to have a hearty chuckle and enjoy some entertaining action sequences? Especially considering there isn’t anything out at the moment and you really should have seen Dark Knight by now (still selling out sessions here btw).
No Pineapple Express is just a bit of joyful fun, some very slight political commentary on weed and some great performances especially from the Green Goblin’s son who is almost unrecognisable as the stoner Saul who really helps to make this film.
Seth Rogan is, as always hilarious and extremely likeable. I don’t think I’ve disliked him in anything to date and he plays the reluctant action hero very well.
All in all a fun outing to the cinema, well worth the time spent, great soundtrack too.

It is actually a ton of fun, we both really enjoyed it, I probably prefer this to Superbad and Knocked Up etc

I thought Pineapple Express was wayyy funnier than any other Judd Apatow movies, my friends and I laughed the whole way through when we saw it at a tiny cinema in Ballina. James Franco was a revelation.
