Touting around “From the guys who brought you Superbad” sets the bar pretty damn high for Pineapple Express. It’s funny enough, but comparing the dynamic between Jonah Hill and Michael Cera to Seth Rogen and James Franco is like crisp apples to oranges a little further on the ripening process. Unlike the subtlety that defined Superbad, Pineapple Express‘ humor is obvious almost to the extent of Will Ferrell & Co.

Oh, and you see that cop lady? Rosie Perez is back, bitches.

Stoner hijinks are always a safe bet for hearty laughs. And neck cast guy is looking to be scene stealer, but he ain’t no McLovin.

Thug life!

I agree, it is a bit broad, but I mean, funny is funny.

I think the first half hour of this movie was fantastic. Also, the fight scene between the three of them, oh man. That was just swell. And I may or may not have fallen for James Franco. Maybe. I don’t know. You tell me!

There was a cute preview for another Michael Cera movie coming out though, “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”. Of course this is me, being a George Michael fangirl.
