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.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
