Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express.
But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city's most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene.
Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him--and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both.
All aboard the Pineapple Express. Put this in your pipe and smoke it. Rated R for pervasive language, drug use, sexual references and violence.
Did you know Edit. Trivia Seth Rogen originally wrote the part of Saul Silver for himself to play. It wasn't until the table read that he realized James Franco would be funnier in the role of Saul.
Goofs The foot-hole in the windshield suddenly, inexplicably, changes sizes from small and jagged, to larger and more rounded. Quotes Saul : Let's roll, man!

User reviews Review. Top review. I imagined this is what would have happened had Daniel Desario and Ken Miller never been classmates, and met later in life. Please Judd Apatow, bring the whole gang back together!
Oh, and the movie was awesome; Apatow created a whole new genre- the Bromance Action Comedy. I hope there's a sequel, and Red can be a running gag. Overall: 8. FAQ 5. Is "Pineapple Express" based on a book? What is the song from the trailer? How could Red survive after everything that happened to him?

Color Black and White. When Linda and her wacky coworker, Chad Feldheimer Brad Pitt , just so happen to come into possession of Cox's memoir, they decide to sell it to a Russian buyer.
This group of selfish weirdos become intertwined in a convoluted caper the CIA irdector JK Simmons ultimately decides "doesn't mean anything. James Franco delivers one of his funniest performances ever in "Pineapple Express. Saul sees himself as a sage provider of advice, often breaking into bizarrely philosophical ramblings to Dale with confused logic, and the sad sense of defeat he shows whenever the two encounter any mild inconvenience is flat-out hilarious. Franco went on to reach even greater comedic heights with his incredible performance in Harmony Korine's dark comedy-crime thriller "Spring Breakers.
The film follows college students Candy Vanessa Hudgens , Faith Selena Gomez , Brit Ashley , and Cotty Rachel Korine , who decide to begin a series of small-time robberies in order to pay for their planned spring break getaway. The girls get involved with the enigmatic drug dealer Alien Franco , who bails them out of prison unexpectedly and recruits them for his gang.
Alien also sees himself as a musician, and shares strange rap songs he's written with the other characters; he's somehow both hysterically funny and threatening as he charms the girls with his advances, only casually hinting at the danger he possesses. One of the most compelling aspects of Dale and Saul's characters is their complete lack of any real motivation.
Dale is just trying to live his life stress-free, and ironically Saul's complete ease only makes him more on edge. As a result, it's amusing to watch the pair get wrapped up in a plot that demands that they pay attention to the various dangerous characters. John Landis' comedy classic "Spies Like Us" follows two similar goofballs who are forced to live up to greater expectations than they ever expected.
Unfortunately for them, the government needs two expendable agents who can be dispatched quickly, and they're quickly assigned to a dangerous international mission.
Landis captures the same mix of quippy dialogue and chaotic non-sequiturs during the action sequences that Green does in "Pineapple Express. One of the strongest aspects of David Gordon Green's direction in "Pineapple Express" is the gradual escalation of the chaos. Obviously the film takes place in a reality where traditional logic is absent, but Green does a terrific job steadily introducing the characters and heightening the extreme circumstances they find themselves in.
Great comedy requires such meticulous pacing, and Ron Howard perfected that balance in his crime comedy classic "Night Shift. Henry Winkler stars as New York City morgue worker Chuck Lumley, who lacks any confidence and is bullied by co-workers, neighbors, and cab drivers alike.
Lumley's sad daily life gets a boost through two new encounters: His fast-talking new co-worker Bill Blazejowski Michael Keaton pushes him to be more adventurous, and he falls in love with the prostitute Belinda Keaton Shelley Long, in a breakout performance. The trio gets involved in a prostitution ring, where they're surprisingly able to operate under the nose of local authorities. Jon Favreau's directorial debut "Made" features a similar central character dynamic to "Pineapple Express.
Also like Saul, he must deal with an obnoxious sidekick with a knack for biting off more than he can chew. Bobby's fast-talking partner Ricky Slade Vince Vaughn manages to get them both involved in a money-laundering scheme that sends them to New York City. Favreau had previously written the screenplay for "Swingers," and he crafts another engaging on-screen relationship with Vaughn here.
Their constant bickering makes the mafia world more interesting, and like "Pineapple Express" both characters are forced to grow when they're put under pressure. It's fascinating to see how distinct Favreau's first film is from the rest of his filmography; before becoming one of the signature blockbuster filmmakers of his generation and prominent creative force within the "Star Wars" franchise, Favreau started off in the indie scene much like Green.
