Daily Plastic: Pineapple Express

Movie	Our Take	Other Takes
Pineapple Express Trailer . IMDB	If Pineapple Express works at all, it's likely to be for people willing to slip into the diner booth with these fellows and laugh along with them. But I often felt like I was merely watching a stoned friend have the time of his life. Robert Davis Paste Magazine	I get a call from CAA, and they say, "David Gordon Green wants to make a comedy." Now if you've seen David's movies, that's not a call you get excited about. Judd Apatow Charlie Rose I have seen [Green's other movies.] They're really depressing! ... I recently watched that short film, and I'm so glad I didn't watch it before we made this movie, because if I had, we would not have hired him.... Just sitting down with him I could tell, oh, we could work well with this guy. Seth Rogen Charlie Rose As loose and playful as major studio movies get. Scott Tobias Onion AV Club It's a quality movie even if the material is unworthy of the treatment. Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times [Franco is] delightful as Saul, loosey-goosey and goofy yet irrepressibly sexy, despite that greasy curtain of hair... It's an unshowy, generous performance and it greatly humanizes a movie that, as it shifts genre gears and cranks up the noise, becomes disappointingly sober and self-serious. Manohla Dargis New York Times [I]t's like an R-rated Three Stooges comedy with Moe ripping bloody chunks from Larry's scalp and poking out Curly's eyes. David Edelstein New York Magazine
