The film is like an embodiment of the peaceful counterculture meets the violent underworld. To this day you'll hear fans of the film quote Dale saying, "You've been served" or General Bratt screaming, "We have a final decision on Item 9. There are also many side-splitting quotes in the film. Some of the scenes are when underground military secret testing on marijuana with Private Miller takes place when Saul explains the evolution of Pineapple Express and the engineering of the cross-joint the fight at Red's apartment Saul's chase with the police in hot pursuit the bombastic fully loaded explosive showdown and the breakfast at the diner. There are many hilarious scenes in this film. The plot is hysterical, violent, riotous, action packed, boisterous, vivacious and has a rib-tickling ending. This ignites Dale and Saul running for their lives while being pursued by assassins and corrupt police. Dale leaves behind evidence that the dealer immediately recognizes as Pineapple Express. Dale has to serve papers to Saul's dealer and witnesses the dealer murder his competitor. The plot revolves around a stoner process servicer, Dale and his weed dealing stoner best friend, Saul. As a matter of fact the entire cast is spot on in their timing, delivery and portrayals. In particular Rogen, Franco, Robinson, Heard, Cole, Hader, McBride and Corrigan stand out. This film has a plethora of comedic artists as cast members who all deliver splendid performances. I don't recall hearing Eddy Grant's, "Electric Avenue" being played on the radio as much as it did in the early 80's after this film was released. This film has excellent direction, screenplay, cinematography, special effects, soundtrack and acting.
It certainly helps to have Rogen and Goldberg pen the screenplay. David Gordon Green has proven his ability to direct an array of films in different genres such as drama, horror and comedy.
