Pineapple Express Ratings & Reviews
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Never makes more than a surface impression, albeit a fitfully amusing one.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Watching Pineapple Express is like sitting dead sober in a room with a bunch of stoned people who are laughing uproariously. They're having a great time. You're not.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Gore and yucks are not an easy combination to pull off and Team Apatow simply do not have the skills.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
At its sharpest, the script by [Seth]Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who co-wrote Superbad, recalls what made Superbad worth seeing: the sidewinding conversational riffs, the why-am-I-laughing? wordplay.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
A film that is at once elegant and sublimely silly.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Never generates any big laughs, and the chase elements are so intentionally cliched they never take on a life of their own.
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
Imagine Superbad, but with fear of drug-related homicide replacing adolescent sexual panic as the excuse for male bonding, and you won't be too far off.
Slate
Dana Stevens
The swath of destruction these boys leave in their wake seems disproportionate to the prevailing mood of dopey fun.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
This by turns inspired, goofy and finally weirdly hyper-violent celebration of male bonding and chronic Peter Panism joins such classics as Up in Smoke and the Harold & Kumar oeuvre in its sunny, raunchy acceptance of its own idiocy.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
A comedy that brings a nicely deflating note of realism to action-film mayhem, as well as being one of the few drug movies you don't have to be high to enjoy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
It's a funny, mostly harmless and entertaining film with a bad case of dry mouth.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The movie is so wayward and fuzzy that, for the unbaked, at least, there's very little pleasure to be had in trying to follow it. The thing is so desultory and aimless that it seems like work to try to laugh at it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The movie's too long -- and the violence and mayhem are unexpectedly harsh and heavy -- but Franco's inspired, looped performance is right up there in the annals of reefer filmdom with Jeff Bridges' the Dude in The Big Lebowski.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
There are many things to like about Pineapple Express, an old-school action-comedy retooled as a stoner goof, but Franco's return to humor is a cause for celebration.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Frequently hilarious, occasionally sweet and often graphically violent, Pineapple Express may not be the greatest stoner movie ever made, but it will do perfectly well until we get another hit of Harold and Kumar.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Watching good buds riff wears out its welcome after a half hour, and that's where a story really comes in handy. But when Pineapple goes from ganja to genre, it sours.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
As it shifts genre gears and cranks up the noise, becomes disappointingly sober and self-serious.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
You needn't be a pothead to enjoy Pineapple Express -- the movie; I mean the movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Pineapple Express is a fitfully amusing tale of drugs and crooks and general dilapidation, but the more it goes on, and the loopier it gets, the less it connects with experience. It becomes Apatow's hash-bar version of a cynical action joyride.
