Hustled-bustled lives of three dicky men having continuous nonsensical affronts with certain ill-starred situations well define the raunchy plot of the laughter riot Pineapple Express 2008. The wildly funny story finds semblance with the crazy “Superbad” tale in almost all defining aspects. In fact, nearly like the earlier potboliler, in this movie too, destiny of the three scatterbrained characters always put them in a quandary.
If, all capers were brimming with alcohol in the bawdy Suberbad, Express kept its tomfoolery enveloped in smoke and fume. The scene of a stolen police car actually splits a gut. The stars of the movie Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), Saul Silver (James Franco) and Danny McBride have done commendable jobs as empty-headed buffoons.
Seth Rogen is a lazybone process server and James Franco, his dealer offers him a rare type of marijuana, the addictive is therefore called Pineapple Express. Now, what follows is a spate of hapless incidents that puts them in perplexities resulting in fits of laughter.
Rogen and Franco, undoubtedly has a great comic timing, but surprise package is the hilarious act of Danny McBride. Producer Judd Apatow has done what he is best at-smutty and refreshingly young comedies, and though Director David Gordon Green had a whack at comedy films this year, but he had already showed his hard-bound efforts and an exceptional comic streak. Certainly, this rib-tickling comedy is good for a laugh.
