Pineapple Express


Another good comedy from the Judd Apatow line.  Definitely worth a watch if you like stoner comedies.  As with most comedies, they screw up the ending by stretching it out unnecessarily.  Oh wait, it must have been the 'extended' edition on the blu-ray.  Was that some kind of punishment for not going to the theater?  

I don't know why some comedy movies decide towards the end that they suddenly want to become action movies, e.g. Blue Streak.  The first Bad Boys is the only one that pulled off that transition well.  But I digress.

Seth Rogen and James Franco are hilarious together.   As with any other Apatow story, there's some genuinely funny stuff thrown together with the usual dose of potty/poop humor.

Danny McBride as 'Red' (first from left) was brilliant.  I saw this guy in another horrible movie called 'The Heartbreak kid' and he was only good thing in it.

If you are renting it, make sure you don't choose 'extended version' on the disc.
