Been pretty spartan with the reviews lately. All I've got this week is Pineapple Express (***). Like all pot humor, half of the jokes aren't as funny as Rogen and company seem to think.
I got to see this in preview a few nights back (Thanks Mike!), and I basically agree with your review, but I’ll add something. It’s not a great movie, but it is quite entertaining. It’s sort of Jay and Silent Bob meets Pulp Fiction. Or something. And yes, being a stoner (not just being high) definitely makes this funnier.
Mike and I were debating what percentage of the audience at that screening was likely high, and we had it worked in great detail, but then I went to score some popcorn.
