Pineapple Express (2008)

Apatow has definitely figured out how to make comedies that I love. Somehow he can have vomit scenes, unnecessary vaginal shots, and gross boy jokes and I still like all of his movies. I liked Pinapple Express but I'll have to admit, not as much as the other ones.

James Franco is definitely a highlight. He just went for full-on ugly. And it was genius. Seth Rogen is kind of hit and miss for me. I like him most of the time but sometimes he's just a little too much that guy who smokes too much pot and smells funny. It was a funny caper film but I think Franco may have saved it from being just another Cheech and Chong film.

It's worth a watch--but only after all of the other Apatow.
