"Dales witnesses a murder by a crooked cop and a dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his weed at the scene. Now he is on the run trying to save his life."Movie type: Action Comedy - This is more than just the stoner comedy it's being sold as--it's also an often brutal and violent action film. This is definitely one aimed at the young male crowd. Those offended by constant drug use, nonstop profanity, and frequent brutal violence had best steer clear.

Reviews:
Matthew Turner: „Pineapple Express is a highly entertaining, offbeat comedy-thriller that has Future Cult Movie written all over it. Recommended.”
Peter Bradshaw: „Watching this without having got stoned first is like watching a 3D movie without the special glasses. There are a few moderate laughs (and a nice Jude Law gag) but the full-on gory violence is disconcerting and unfunny.”
Anthony Quinn: „The first half-hour floats by on a cloud of mildly funny lines ("couscous the food so nice they named it twice"), but then slumps into a derivative action caper that's weirdly and unappealingly reminiscent of Eighties dross like Beverly Hills Cop.”
