I re-watched this today, and man, is it so much better on second viewing. Some movies are just so much easier to take knowing whats gonna happen, and this is one of those cases for me. Even if I hadn’t seen it before I think a case could be made that this plays better on DVD.

first half of Pineapple Express was about half as good as Knocked Up; the second half was almost as bad as Freddy Got Fingered

Again I don’t want it to sound like I hated the movie, but I was just a bit disappointed. And I thought Craig Robinson was funny some of the time, but not all of the time.

Reed: I have neither read nor smoked manga before.

Oh, Sean, I meant ganja.

Sean, I want to know if you’ve ever smoked manga.

I confess I smoked a cigarette once at a cottage in the wild. I even have photographs of the experience!

I gotta say Sean, I disagree with your assessment of PE. I loved the film and thought Seth Rogen was a perfect straight man opposite James Franco’s stoner numbskull (admittedly Franco stole the show). The improvised scenes worked for me because, in keeping with its slacker characters, the movie itself felt shaggy and lackadaisical.

Similarly, I thought the way the movie played out with the ninjas and ultraviolence at the end was perfect, as though it was filmed by stoners (“Dude, then some ninjas come in and everyone gets blown up!”). And I left the theater hoping for MORE Danny McBride, as well as Craig Robinson (can’t believe you didn’t think he was funny). Ah well, comedy is perhaps the most subjective genre of film, so I wouldn’t expect everyone to get as much a kick out of it as I did …

There’s been a lot of average reviews on this movie… I think Greg’s review will make or break it for me. I’ll be waiting for it on the podcast!

James Franco was fantastic. I didn’t know he had it in him. I’d buy this movie.
