Pineapple Express

So after watching scary movies this week, I decided to view a comedy. I heard good things about Pineapple Express from critics as well as people I knew who had seen it. I guess I should have considered who recommended the movie to me when deciding to rent it because I could not wait for it to end. I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen and I like him even less now. Like most girls, I like James Franco, but he didn't look like the James Franco I know and love in this movie. I guess seeing him as a loser, idiot, stoner, drug dealer wasn't much fun to watch. I watched it with my roommate and like me she didn't really get it either. I know it would be a lot funnier if you watch it stoned. Otherwise it was like hanging out with a bunch of your stoned friends when you are completely sober and they just continue to laugh uncontrollably. To me, it was completely frustrating to watch. I mean they are being hunted down by these bad guys who want to kill them and their solution is to smoke weed every couple of hours. Every time they pulled over to smoke I wanted to yell at them. Definitely frustrating to watch for two hours. I heard from other people who enjoyed it that they thought the ending scene was completely hilarious. That scene where they are all stoned out of their mind talking and laughing pretty much captures the theme of the movie- pretty much just listening to and watching a bunch of stoners talk. The only way that the movie would be funny would be to watch it stoned otherwise its just boring.
