★★½ Pineapple Express

[Twoshoes: 2.5]

Twoshoes says: 'Yet another one of those Apatow comedies. This time about a couple of potheads on the run from, well everybody. Sounds stupid. And that it is. Oddly enough I think this film would have worked better with a less accomplished director than David Gordon Green. His films have always had a bit of an improvisational feel to them which is ideal when you're dealing with the very natural performances of unknowns and/or amateurs. But when you've got a cast full of familiar faces you really start noticing the seams and it's a little embarrassing. Seth Rogan fares the worst here as some of his stuff just goes nowhere.'
