When James Franco smashes the bong over Danny McBride's head, it was supposed to be a fake, break-away bong so Danny McBride could take part in the stunt. However, it was filled with some water and when James Franco actually smashed it, Danny McBride was actually mildly hurt. more

Pineapple Express A Funny Stoner Comedy, 1 June 2009
8/10
Author: tburke85 from United States

Pineapple Express is a funny stoner comedy with plenty of laughs thanks to the admirable performances of Seth Rogen (from Knocked Up and Superbad) and especially James Franco (from Spider-man and Flyboys). For those of you who haven't seen it yet I won't say anything else about the movie except that I was impressed with Pineapple Express. I thought I wasn't going to like it but I thought it was a well made stoner buddy action comedy. It may not be no masterpiece but the movie does offer plenty of laughs with some action and chases thrown in for guilty pleasure. The scenes with Rogen and Franco together provide much of the comic relief as their two characters find themselves in one hilarious situation after another while trying to avoid a dangerous drug dealer. No offense to Franco who I think is a good actor like Rogen. Some of his films may not have been that great but I never thought Franco could be some funny. Major props to him for playing Saul Silver who is one hilarious stoner/dealer. Well done. Rogen is funny too but Franco was a big surprise considering some of the movies he's been in like Spider-man, Flyboys, and the Great Raid to name few. The rest of the supporting cast turn in solid performances including Gary Cole, Danny McBride, Rosie Perez, Kevin Corrigan, and Amber Heard. The action in the movie can go over the top occasionally but is pretty well choreographed. The chase scene involving Rogen and Franco in a police car is hilarious. The strong language can be a bit much at times but overall Pineapple Express is a funny stoner comedy with some action thrown in that make for a good film to watch. If you're a fan of the genre or any of the actors then chances are you'll enjoy Pinapple Express. Better than expected.
