“Pineapple Express” Takes Prize As Unfunniest Pot Flick Ever


I usually can appreciate stoner humor, but “Pineapple Express” was a brutal mixture of unfunny, awkward, interminable and pointless. Director David Gordon Green deserves part of the blame, but with Judd Apatow attached, this vehicle had his fingerprints all over it.

The bottom line is that Seth Rogan has jumped the menorah and James Franco just isn’t funny. Beyond that, the cast was tremendous. In other words, “Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

This one was so mindless that I can’t even muster up the energy to lambaste it anymore. If you feel the need to check this one out, be sure to get baked enough that you won’t even notice the flick or remember watching it later.

And yes, I am fully aware that this review is as half-assed as the movie itself. Believe me, that's intentional.
