Put this in your pipe and smoke it.
Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.

You don't have to be stoned to enjoy Pineapple Express but it certainly wouldn't hurt. The more you know about the fine art of getting toasted the more you'll find to laugh at but the whole "losers vs angry mobsters" theme is well-exploited. Most of the laughs are of the short, sharp variety (there are plenty of gags) and there is plenty of weird shit to fuck with your mind (if you can pay close-enough attention).
Even if you see this movie at the cinema you'll still find yourself renting it on DVD.
The comedy, crime movie Pineapple Express is directed by David Gordon Green and stars Seth Rogen, James Franco, Rosie Perez.
