Pineapple Express
2008

Director: David Gordon Green
Cast: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Gary Cole, Rosie Perez, Craig Robinson, Amber Heard, Kevin Corrigan, Danny R. McBride

Another unfunny bromance from Judd Apatow's comedy conveyor belt. Seth Rogen plays a process server who is forced to go underground with his drug dealer/best friend when he witnesses a murder. If you've seen one Rogen performance, you've seen them all. Once again he plays the same chubby, pot-loving loudmouth loser, this time partnered with James Franco. The pot-heavy plot takes us back to Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, but where that film was sweet, short and funny, this one is loud, long and crass.
