Seth Rogen and buddies return for yet another funny, and often crude, comedy that will surely have just as many detractors as it will have fans. Well, I'm a fan of most of their stuff and this, surprisingly enough as I had low expectations, is one of their better outings so far.
The story concerns a stoner and his drug dealer (Rogen and James Franco, hilarious and far removed from his previous roles) who have to go on the run after Rogen witnesses a murder and leaves the remains of a joint that could only have been supplied by Franco, therefore leaving a clear trail for the bad guys (led by Gary Cole and Rosie Perez) to follow. Danny McBride also appears as a friend who alternately helps and hinders our stoner heroes and the cast is fleshed out by some great support and cameos (Bill Hader is especially hilarious in the prologue).
I have read the reviews complaining that this movie suffers in comparison to other "stoner" comedies. I cannot comment on that because, sadly, I haven't seen enough movies within this particular sub-genre to comment. What I can comment on is how many times I laughed throughout this film and this kept me amused consistently from beginning to end. Where it scores the most points is in it's blending of standard action movie clichés with the fact that the heroes are unfortunately . . . pretty fried. Car chases descend into chaotic messes, fistfights get hilariously confusing and gunfights just end up leaving bullet holes all over the place (except where they are intended to be).
If you don't like this particular group of actors, their brand of humour or the pop-culture references dotted here and there then you will not like this film in the slightest. Everyone else can sit back and enjoy a good number of belly laughs.
