Blazin' up Electric Avenue

Pineapple Express.

This movie could be described in many interesting one word adjectives. Cute. Action-packed. Hilarious. Smokin'.

It was certainly the most action-packed stoner movie ever and yet it had a lot of heart. Most of that was due in large part to James Franco's wonderfully sweet drug dealer portrayal. As goofy as this performance was it actually saved the movie from being too campy. Seth Rogen was his typical Appatow-fame-making goober. There was some nice surprises from Rosie Perez and Gary Cole. Overall this movie is a little bit of what you expected, a little bit what you wouldn't and a whole lot of laughs. Franco certainly steals the show but its one worth running along with.
