The only criticism of Pineapple Express you are going to hear is maybe how the climax scene at the end tends to go a little long. OK, it goes way long, but so what? This is a pretty good little buddy movie. Notice that I am not giving it ten stars and saying it is the greatest "stoner" movie ever or the "funniest movie of the Summer," because I don't think it is either of those two. However, I don't want to knock the film because some people have gone overboard in hyping it. First off, it is not a "stoner" film, it is a film that centers around two stoner characters. It is not completely a comedy, because there is a lot of violence and maybe one serious scene. I thought the two main characters worked well off one another. Danny McBride is funny as hell, again. This guy is going to be a major comedic star. Gary Cole and Rosie Perez are totally wasted and I am not even sure why they were cast for such bland roles. If you like comedy and don't mind a little blood and a few f-bombs, you will be entertained, but try not to go in thinking it is the greatest film ever made.
