Action Comedy Crime

Dale Denton serves subpoenas in costume and buys weed from Saul Silver, who lives with his grandmother’s furniture and has a new strain called Pineapple Express that only he sells. Dale sees a drug lord, Ted Jones, and a police officer shoot a man through a window, panics, and throws his joint out of the car. Ted knows the strain. Pineapple Express is the stoner action film Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote from an idea Judd Apatow had, and James Franco’s Saul is the role that changed how people saw him.

What Happens Over Two Days

Dale and Saul run. They sleep in the woods. They go to Red, Saul’s supplier, played by Danny McBride, who betrays them and then keeps surviving being shot. Dale’s girlfriend is in high school and her parents are armed. Ted’s rival Asian gang is at war with him. The last act is a barn full of weed, a shootout, a car chase with Saul’s foot through the windscreen, and the three of them at breakfast afterwards comparing injuries.

Why It Works

David Gordon Green, who had only made quiet indie dramas before this, shot the action properly and let the leads improvise. Franco got a Golden Globe nomination. The Huey Lewis song over the credits was written for the film. McBride’s Red is the breakout. The fight in Red’s house, using every object in it, is one of the best comedy fights ever staged.
