Some Thoughts on "Pineapple Express"
Wow. Seriously...wow. I don't remember the last time I saw a movie that had this many serious belly laughs per minute.
I had low expectations for Pineapple Express. I didn't find the trailer particularly funny, despite warm early reviews. But man oh man, once the movie started I don't think I stopped laughing until the credits rolled.
It's a nasty piece of work, but gleefully over the top. David Gordon Green has a gritty indie sensibility that grounds the film even at its most absurd, and makes for one of the sharpest, most entertaining comedies of the year. It's definitely the best of the Apatow brand since Superbad, and is a worthy successor indeed.
I'm trying to coalesce my thoughts into something besides "LMAO" right now. I'll be tapping out a full review for next week's Dispatch. Right now, suffice it to say that Pineapple Express is a new stoner classic.

What a coincidence. I justed posted an article called "A Storm's a' Comin'" about life in New Orleans in August. I hit "Next" to take a break and read someone else's blog, and yours came up. Nicely done. And I see that you are a fan of juicy stormy weather.
OK, back to work...
