Pineapple Express

Dale Denton (Rogen), a lazy stoner visits his equally lazy dealer, Saul Silver (Franco), to purchase weed, specifically a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. By accident, Dale witnesses a murder by a crooked police officer Carol (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord Ted Jones (Gary Cole).

In panic, he flees the scene and accidentally drops his roach of Pineapple Express. Dale speedily drives back to Saul to find out if the weed is so rare that it could be traced back to him. The two are forced to run for their lives, they quickly discover they are not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia, rather the bad guys are hot on their tracks trying to kill them.

An early review on the website DigitalJournal.com by Michael Billy has called Pineapple Express, "the best comedy of the summer" while also saying, "If you laughed at Superbad, or you laughed at Knocked Up, then you will definitely enjoy Pineapple Express. If you did not, then this movie probably isn't for you." It was an overall positive review
