Hiking in the Woods with Friends
Pineapple Express (2008)
directed by David Gordon Green
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Winrock 6 Theatre
Who decided that Apatow backlash begins with Pineapple Express? Manohla? Is it because I finally enjoyed aSeth Rogen Daniel Desario film without reservation? Well, I did.
Who in Express gave up drugs in order to grow up? No one! Who learned that being yourself is the best way to fit in? Not the three lonely slobs in the diner. When a choice is made in the movie, the girlfriend gets dumped, the pot gets smoked, the cruiser goes missing, and people die. If that's not the light-hearted extravaganza I wanted to see on the big screen this August, I'll walk my George Washington poster like a plank.
The joke isn't that the drug dealer doesn't know what time it is, but that he really did sleep eighteen hours. It's why we are all exactly who we want to be, and why summer is the season we still see in our dreams.
