I love a good stoner-farce movie. Harold and Kumar---AWESOME! Fast Times at Ridgemont---DUDE!
And Pineapple Express (2008) starts out in that vein, before descending into endless violence and gunfights, that were just stupid..not funny stoned stupid...just plain old stupid.
Written by and starring Jeff Rogen, who I like mostly, this movie just did not carry well at all...it is like it has multiple personalities, and in the middle switches from one to the other. If we had gotten a whole movie, it would have been good, but two disparate halves...not so much.
I am fine with the sexual humor, the scatological humor, even the need in ALL of Rogen's movies to have full frontal male nudity (he explained that in a Playboy interview last year). But not enough funny and too much shooting people a la Rambo, just was too much, and not enough at the same time.
