Review for Pineapple Express - Go - Go!
I thought it was freaking hilarious. The first half was way funnier and faster-paced than the second half, but the second half was by no means a letdown. There were some parts that made me laugh until I cried, which is awesome. But it felt long at an hour and 45 minutes! James Franco is a revelation! August 08, 2008
