I just saw Pineapple Express.

[Dussicar]

What a useless fucking piece of shit!

I understand that the whole premise of the movie is only going to be appreciated by chronic potheads, but, do you ACTUALLY know how many joints you will have to smoke to be able to appreciate this idiotic movie???

This is, like, an 18 hits of strong and dirty acid to appreciate type of flick!

Even then, you might be inclined to hit a disabled person out of sheer, impotent frustration.

Now, I don't want to totally put it down. The dialogue between James Franco and danny McBride( a comedic genius, in my opinion) was hilarious!

My problem is with Seth Rogen. A pretty sad statement when you figure that the biggest reason why this movie was Yak Poo was because of the main star!

Fucking christ, he sounds like a Muppet! A very, extremely, retardedly unfunny Dr. Teeth! His voice does not lend itself to comedic ad-libism at all.

I understand that the dialogue and cross-talk was meant to facilitate the impression of spontanious conversation, while under the influence of reefer to give the "specific" audience a reason to identify with the main character bases on certain "conversations" they have had with friends in the past but...FUCK! This guy is literally a wet blanket!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually rent a movie because, even though it might suck, the DVD commentary will provide a useful and entertaining insight on what the actors are thinking during a specigfic scene, or what happened at the time.

I have no intentions of accessing that feature. I went as far as the "gag reel." After hearing Seth Rogen's laugh, I am stalwart in my resolve that this guy will fade to "Has-been-hood" in a matter of months.

Fucking STUPID MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Wait. Sooo.....you didn't like it? Is that what you're saying?

We saw it a few weeks back. I agree. It kinda sucked...though I have to admit that there were a couple of funny lines.

 

[Perduabo]

Couldn't agree with you more Dussicar.

My friends dragged me to see it, saying it was the funniest thing ever and not like every other dumb-assed stoner movie out there.....


I'd rather have bamboo shoots thrust under my nails while being forced to listen to a never-ending stream of Donny Osmond records, all during a root canal with no local.

God what a piece of shit! I feel your pain very well.

 

[AphxA]

I like seth rogen, i like alot of the actors in his films. However, this movie was maybe funny for this first few scenes and then it slopes into retard mode.

Example of retard mode:

In the above example thats how i felt after sitting through this film.

 

[Cosmo_ac]

i pretty much agree. It was a horrible movie, and if i could figure out how to make them give me my two hours of life that i wasted back, i would. Sadly i can't.

I remember lamenting the horribleness of this movie to my little sister. She and her boyfriend found it hysterical. Oddly enough, her cronic friends thought it was shit. I personally think this movie is one of those where you either love it, or hate it. Much like "Burn After Reading" or,as i call it, "Burn After Watching".

On a side note, did anybody think Seth sounded like John Goodman in this movie? I kept getting the image of Fred Flinstone in my head as i watched it.

 

[Goodieluver]

You seem to be fixated on the drug commentary in this movie

 

[..Glamorous..]

Aww, I liked it! I thought it was hilarious and, I don't even do any drugs.

and I would trade my husband in for Seth Rogen! lol

 

[KrazieDog]

I like Seth Rogen and think he is funny as hell and great writer, producer, and actor. After 40-year-old-Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad, among others, I won't judge his career by Pineapple. I agree with you that Pineapple Express sucked. I love all genres of movies, including stoner movies and when I'm fast forwarding through pieces of a movie, it's pretty bad. But as for "has-been in months", that's not happening. The guy is on everybody in Hollywood's "to work with" list right now, not to mention he is part of Judd Apatow's (who basically owns comedy right now) crew, and you WILL see him on just about everything Judd has his hands in.

Pineapple Express really did disappoint me though.

I have seen none of those and have no intentions of doing so.....

 

[Cosmo_ac]

actually,superbad is pretty good Venray. the forty year old virgin, i though was ok, but a bit over-rated. Never seen knocked up though. Superbad, i would recomend though.

 

[AphxA]

Superbad is very funny. So is so and so make a porno. I forgot the two names but its another very funny seth rogen movie.

 

[..Glamorous..]

Zack and Miri make a porno was disappointing.

 

[xionking]

Pineapple Express is a great film. It's not a stoner movie, it's a movie about stoners.

James Franco pulls off great acting as the stereotypical stoner, and think that the film can be enjoyed both sober and under the influence.

[hotdog]

That's a pretty intense reaction to a movie. You should take that reaction and aim it towards Indiana Jones. I'd say that would be deserving. Pineapple express was good. Not amazing or anything. But I liked it. Did you see Knocked Up? Rogen was really good in that.

 

[-Hari-]

Ive never done ny drugs and I thougth it was pretty funny, but then my sense of humour can be very imature 😛

 

[chicago]

I watched part of it and thought some parts were funny in a Cheech and Chong kind of way and that James Franco was awesome at playing the typical drug dealer that wants to be your friend but is still kind of weird. Ha.

At any rate, it's definitely a movie for potheads and everything is better when high.

 

[karategirl18]

OMG, i fucking loved that movie. It totally kicked ass!

 

[Dussicar]

Alright, I might have to check out other Rogen movies to see if there is anything different that might appeal to me.

I doubt it, however. His voice and acting style grates on me.

I am still convinced that if Danny McBride played Seth Rogen's character instead, it would have been a hell of a lot more entertaining to watch.

Rogen could have played one of the hitmen instead. They weren't funny.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I found it funny myself, and I had no drugs in me at the time (not that I ever have). Perhaps the amusement had to do with watching it whilst staying up all night in the design laboratory finishing a project presentation. Maybe no sleep and schools stress equates to a bit of THC. 😀

 

[Oddjob0226]

I haven't seen it for that very reason. Straight, it just doesn't look all that funny. Intoxicated, anything is funny. Having to be high to enjoy a movie is like having to be drunk to make out with somone. If you have to be loaded to appreciate something at even its lowest level, don't do it, whatever it is!

 

[CurtWild]

i loved it and i watched it sober

 

[Oddjob0226]

A really good stoner movie is "Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrells". Even though the stoners are only supporting characters.

I didn't get to see it stoned but I did see it when I was piss-tank drunk( if that accounts for anything).

A very good movie by far!

I loved the original cinematography. Especially the scene wher one of the main character (forgive my ignorance as I haven't seen it in three years so I don't remember his name) loses the Poker game.

The hazy, out-of-touch camera-work they use when he leaves the arena is the best rendition of shock and loss I have ever seen. One of the few times I can relate to a movie and honestly say "I've been there!"

Yeah, that was a great one, even straight, although quite drunk seems utterly appropriate.

Guy Ritchie and his cinematographer did some incredible work. They never seemed to come back as a team after "Swept Away", although "Rock and Rolla" came and went so quickly I never got a chance to see it.

That's an incredible scene (Eddie is his name); after that crushing loss he's walking off, the camerawork -and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" on the soundtrack. Thats a DVD I own rather than rent.
