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.
