Pineapple Express

Inspired stoner comedy stars Seth Rogen as a pothead named Dale who witnesses a drug-related hit and goes on the lam with his spacey dealer, Saul (James Franco). Rogen co-wrote the screenplay with Evan Goldberg. Directed by David Gordon Green. The film’s title comes from the name of a wildly potent strain of marijuana, “the dopest dope I ever smoked,” according to Saul. Rosie Perez costars as a dirty cop, and Gary Cole plays a nasty drug lord., Dale Denton, a process server with a weed fixation, witnesses a murder and turns to his dealer, Saul, for support. The murderer is actually Saul’s main drug supplier, and because of Saul’s access to some extremely rare high-grade pot (called Pineapple Express) the two are quickly tracked down and put on the run.
