    I was wondering when the Apatow streak would end, this is it. This movie sucked hard.

  • 2 bill // Aug 7, 2008

    I am looking forward to seeing what Greg has to say about this mess.

  • 3 Joeseph // Aug 7, 2008

    I couldn’t agree more, definitely thumbs down.

    Joesephs last blog post..Frenchman Wins Over $908,000 At Online Casino

    Step Brother was terrible and this movie looks terrible as well. There’s only so many ideas that come out of smoking massive amounts of pot…

  • 5 Greg O // Aug 10, 2008

    I eagerly await my review too @bill.

  • 6 yorke // Aug 10, 2008

    I appreciate Seth and Judd for sticking their necks out and trying something new. They give hope to the underdog and provide a glorious fuck you to pretentious critics.

  • 7 Samson // Aug 10, 2008

    I don’t consider this “sticking their necks out” at all. I consider this them thinking they have all this positive momentum behind them from The 40 Yr Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall that whatever they do will be a hit. This movie was terrible, and they need to look back at what made those other movies successful and keep going with that.

    I have to admit, I was wondering when their magic train would hit the wall, and this is it. I can only compare this to the Will Ferrell movies that were hit after hit after hit, and then finally died with Semi-Pro.

    This movie sucked, and if we all band together and admit that, they’ll get together and come back with another stellar film like their previous efforts.

    It’s like these guys watch Shawn Of The Dead and did a really horrible job of replicating it.

  • 9 Jackson Byrne // Aug 19, 2008

    I thought this movie was absolutely perfect. You people just like hating everything. What movies do you consider good?

  • 10 S WHITE // Aug 20, 2008

    ok whoever said that pineapple express sucked well then i think they suck. i thought the movie was hilarious. James Franco did such a great job of playing a stoned drug dealer. I would have never thought he would play something like that but he did such a good job. SO all those people who said it sucked well boo to you.

  • 11 Mensa // Aug 20, 2008

    Anyone who thinks this movie was good is obviously not very smart or clever. The fact that they can release garbage like this and have it praised by certain people is the reason our country seems as dumb as it does. Shame on you.

  • 12 KT // Aug 21, 2008

    BEST MOVIE EVER! haha! couldnt stop laughing the whole time, you have to be high to really appreciate the comedy, and have a dealer just like that guy sol, too funny!

  • 13 Lindsay // Aug 22, 2008

    the reason you think this movie sucked is because it wasn’t for you or any other critics. it was for the stoners of the world. if you ask anyone who saw this movie stoned, they’ll tell you it was the best movie ever. because of course there are many parts you would never appreciate unless you were stoned or have been.

  • 14 Mary // Aug 22, 2008

    wow Lindsay, you seem smart lol!

  • 15 carrie // Aug 23, 2008

    I’m a 4.0 average college student, don’t smoke pot or do any type of drugs and I thought this movie was hilarious. If you think it sucked, to each their own, but my liking it doesn’t make me “stupid.”

  • 16 Mikey Roulette // Aug 27, 2008

    this review is pathetic. if you’ve ever smoked a bowl, you’d understand the erratic flow of genius seeping through the plot. Yeah, the acting wasn’t the greatest, but it’s a stoner flick. And yeah, the jokes aren’t as straight-forward or humorous to the general audience compared to Superbad, but once again, if you’ve ever smoked a bowl, you’d understand.. there’s an abundance of humor in their actions, rather than their dialogue. You could watch this movie muted and still be entertained.

  • 17 Captain Obvious // Aug 27, 2008

    ok this should be obvious but

    1. You should read the actual review of this film on this site.

    2. If a movie requires you to be stoned to enjoy it, IT’S NOT A GOOD MOVIE! Save The Last Dance is an awesome movie when stoned too.

  • 18 captain obvious sucks Mensa // Aug 29, 2008

    This is a great movie
    you dont have to be stoned to enjoy it
    there is just alot of humor that could only be appreciated if your a stoner
    such as the terms and situations
    and Mensa, its people like you that worry me about the fate of mankind.
    ignorance is bliss

  • 19 captain obvious // Aug 29, 2008

    ohhh! you don’t have to be “stoned” to enjoy this movie, you just have to be a “stoner”. Thanks for clearing that up for us burnout!

  • 20 greg // Aug 29, 2008

    captain obvious needs to smoke a bowl and quit being such a fat turd. people that call potheads “burnouts” dont know anything about anything. some of the worlds greatest minds have thc in them.
    youre just an ignorant product of MTV.
    what do you consider a good movie anyway?

  • 21 captain obvious // Aug 29, 2008

    Hey greg how about another potty mouth for the sake of being a potty mouth review? That internet needs more of that.

  • 22 Mike // Aug 29, 2008

    this movie sucked, you have to be stupid to like it. or drugged to the point of being stupid.

  • 23 Gail // Aug 30, 2008

    I agree, this movie was a waste. What’s a good movie? Anything else Apatow was involved with before this piece of crap.

  • 24 Shaylee // Aug 30, 2008

    this movie was awesome are u guys out of ur minds like really have u ever smoked weed.. try that and let me know cuz this movie was bomb… screw all of u that disagree!

  • 25 captian obvious sucks a big one // Aug 30, 2008

    captian obvious u obviously dont have a life. i love that you are defending your self to all the people disagreeing hahaha! all of these people obviously have smoked pot and enjoy life a little bit more than u do. you really have to be a dipshit that has his panties up his ass to not like this flim. just like Kat Williams says ” enjoy ur mother fucking life, life is fucking short, some of u all need to just smoke some weed and see if it doesnt help the quality of ur mother fucking life” respect is all im saying and captain obvious shut the fuck up and smoke a bowl then go back and read ur dumb comments and see for ur self how big of a dumb ass u sound like!

  • 26 captain obvious // Aug 30, 2008

    Hey Shaylee, first of all the fact that you can’t construct a sentence makes it hard for you to hide behind other screen names and tells me that you love the pot a lot more than you should. If you loved your life so much you wouldn’t be spending your paycheck on drugs and screaming on a blog. Get a life you little loser, get off the couch and do something.

  • 27 Miles // Aug 30, 2008

    these pot smokers are angry.

  • 28 Greg O // Aug 30, 2008

    @captain obvious. that was another Greg, not me. so if you’re asking for another Snark film review, not a foul-mouthed comment, he can’t help you. I have reviews of Choke and Burn After Reading upcoming. They’ll be filled w/ profanity, i promise, you douchebag fucktard.

  • 29 shaylee // Aug 30, 2008

    hahahahahahahahahah good comments hahaha see how defensive u are hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha get off the couch? haha u fuck im at work hahahahahahahah i have a life thank you and trust me it dominates urs. plus i dont spend my money on weed my daddys money goes towards that =] u old bum fuck hahahahahahah i like how just cuz i have smoked before in my life u make all this assumptions see why potheads have a better life than you?? cuz they dont give a fuckkkkkkkk!

  • 30 James // Aug 30, 2008

    smoke pot and you’ll have to work on the weekends, that’s the lesson here folks. Thanks Shaylee.

  • 31 capatain obvious // Aug 30, 2008

    haha owned

  • 32 Maria // Aug 30, 2008

    Shaylee you come off like a teenage burnout, so the charge is warranted. That may have been cool in the 70’s but it’s far beyond pathetic now.

  • 33 Bob // Aug 30, 2008

    I’d bet my life savings that Shaylee is a dumb blond in a religious cult of some kind.

  • 34 Maria // Aug 30, 2008

    Well we know she’s dumb.. :)

  • 35 captain obvious // Aug 30, 2008

    I second that Bob

  • 36 shaylee // Aug 30, 2008

    well i am blonde=]
    but i dont really get what u mean by a religious cult of some kind…

  • 37 Bob // Aug 30, 2008

    I win!

    Religious cult = scientologist/mormon

  • 38 captain obvious // Aug 30, 2008

    you must have nailed it, no more shaylee :)

  • 39 Lindsay // Aug 31, 2008

    I think most of you against pineapple express fail to recognize anyone in between the likes of someone who doesn’t smoke at all and a stoner. you can easily smoke on occasion, not spend a lot of money and not be a burnout. perhaps you should find a different movie you do enjoy instead of getting so angry because god forbid some people loved a movie that you dislike. it must be nice to have the time to sit here and preach to people because of a movie we find hilarious. as many times as you say how lame you think this movie is and how great you feel about yourself when another person comes along and agrees with you, me and many other people will still think this movie is amazing. so i’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish here.

  • 40 charlie // Aug 31, 2008

    lindsay, this isn’t the place for you to come and convince yourself that you’re not a waste of life slacker, this is the place to talk about what a piece of sinking turd this movie was. thank you, drive thru.

  • 41 lindsay // Aug 31, 2008

    i got to a great college and get great grades. i don’t need to convince myself of anything.

  • 42 sam // Sep 1, 2008

    look all you arigant twats. your not finding it funny becouse your so far up your ass you dont get the humar.
    step brothers and pineapple express are probebly really funny

  • 43 charlie // Sep 1, 2008

    Wow Sam, that’s some excellent spelling. You must go to the same college as Lindsay.

  • 44 SAUL/DANE I SHIP 'EM // Sep 1, 2008

    i’m seeing it again tonight. WOOOOOO

  • 45 Impression of Jeff Goldblum // Sep 1, 2008

    I just happened to come across this page, and I was a little disappointed about the reaction to Pineapple Express. Being a young film-maker, in my senior year of college (and before you homo’s bash on me, I ACTUALLY have work coming up at a REAL film studio), I know my shit. And what I do know is that this movie made me laugh my ass off.
    It didn’t need a huge budget, or super-stars. What you fail to miss is good writing, and a dive into a class of people that is not one many people are too familiar with (stoners). So when the person a few lines up said “they stuck their necks on the line” with this movie, was right. They made a “stoner movie,” which you might say is aimed toward a specific crowd. Funny thing is, it brought in a good box office receipt, and had good reviews. I’m sorry that it’s no transformers, or star wars (which you guys probably watch everyday, fanboys). Not every movie needs to have a half-billion dollar budget, explosions every 5 seconds, and a cast of stars to make it good. So whatever you have to say, go on, say it; because I actually have a spot in this industry, and you guys have a spot in front of your computer, and at your parents house.
    I swear…everyone’s a critic. That or stupid.

  • 46 Bisz // Sep 1, 2008

    Well “Jeff” it’s pretty obvious that your movie is going to be absolutely terrible if you thought this movie to contained “good writing.” I just watched it and OH MY GOD was this the worst writing I’ve ever seen in a film, and I’ve been producing indie (Good Will Hunting) films for years. I’ve seen better writing in a Sandra Bullock movie. Have fun in Hollywood Dawson, be sure to learn some secretary skills along the way, you’re gonna need them.

  • 47 Clem // Sep 1, 2008

    This movie was so bad. I too have been working on films for the past 6 years and this was such a letdown for Apatow fans. Sarah Marshall was genius, this was just the Apatow train out of gas. Seth Rogen even admitted on the Daily Show to being out of ideas. It’s a shame, at least dumb people seem to enjoy it.

  • 48 lindsay // Sep 2, 2008

    you fail to see my point. no matter how many times one of you says the movie sucks, those who enjoyed will continue to do so. besides, there’s plenty of people that have been ‘in the business’ for many years and still get absolutely nowhere. your credentials have absolutely no impact on my thoughts of this movie.

  • 49 Cap. Obv. // Sep 2, 2008

    Right, people with film experience and a sense of wit will continue to dislike this movie, while dimmer, simpler folks will continue to enjoy it. If it weren’t for the simple folks Hollywood would be forced to release good movies instead of overproduced trash. Hollywood needs the simpletons.

  • 50 Meagan // Sep 2, 2008

    I highly doubt the producers of this movie give two fucks about what you douchebags think of it. stop talkin shit about the movie it was funny stoned or not, get the fuck over it.

  • 51 Meagan // Sep 2, 2008

    I highly doubt the producers of this movie give two fucks about what you douchebags think of it. stop talkin shit. it was funny stoned or not, get the fuck over it.
    if you hated the movie so fucking much why are you wasting your time arguing with people about it?? GET A FUCKING LIFE.

  • 52 Levin // Sep 3, 2008

    Hey Meagy, why do you care so much about this bad movie to post twice using such big adult words?

  • 53 C.O. // Sep 3, 2008

    Thanks for the input Meagan, and thanks for coming back to comment again saying the same thing but using another f-bomb for more emphasis. I can see why you liked this movie.
