movie review - Pineapple Express

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.11.04

This is a light-hearted Man In a Hole and Buddy Cop hybrid featuring two stoner anti-heroes who witness a murder and become targets themselves. I enjoyed the loopy story line and characters and their moronic dialogue. It somehow works. Can't say that I'm going to put a lot of effort into this review, but it's fine fair for one of those nights when you just need a low-brow laugh.

Recommended.

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
