Pineapple Express (2008)

Columbia Pictures

Director David Gordon Green

Produced: Judd Apatow

Seth Rogan and James Franco came together, smoked some weed, fucked and had a baby and called it Pineapple Express! Once you watch the movie, you’ll get that…;)

When process server Dale Denton (Rogen) scores some super rare weed from his lonely yet kind hearted pot dealer, Saul (Franco), but then inadvertently witnesses a police involved murder and leaves a telling clue behind, a burning joint of the rare Pineapple Express, the comic-duo must survive long enough to figure out a plan. The murderer wants Dale and Saul silenced before they blow the lid off of his corrupt business.

 

Quotes:

 

Saul: This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had – and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked – this would the shit that they birthed.

Dale Denton: [smells the marijuana] Wow. This is the product of baby fucking.

 

 

Saul: BFFF?

Dale Denton: Best Fuckin’ Friends Forever, man!

While on their quest the brothers run across Isabel, (Portman) ,a strong and fearless warrior set on avenging her slain brothers at the hands of the Evil Wizard Leezar.
