Pineapple Express
“Pineapple Express (2008) revolutionized the stoner comedy by blending it with high-stakes 80s-style action. Seth Rogen plays Dale, a process server who witnesses a murder committed by a corrupt cop and a drug lord, forcing him to go on the run with his eccentric dealer, Saul (James Franco). Franco’s performance as the sweet, dim-witted Saul was a career-defining turn that showcased his immense comedic range. The film is a blur of high-speed chases, inept gunfights, and hilarious dialogue about the rare ‘Pineapple Express’ strain. It’s a ‘bromance’ at its heart, focusing on the bond between two guys who are way out of their league in a world of professional killers. It’s violent, hazy, and incredibly funny, cementing the Rogen-Franco duo as comedy royalty and proving that action and herbal humor are a match made in cinematic heaven.”
Pineapple Express was the ultimate ‘action-stoner’ bromance… but next, we head to a Hawaiian resort where a man is about to run into his ex-girlfriend and her new rockstar boyfriend.
