Dale Denton:[while hiding in the woods, on the run from Ted's henchmen] Even if he found that roach, how could he find us?
Saul:Um... heat-seeking missiles... bloodhounds... and foxes... barracudas...
Dale Denton:I'm just - I'm kind of flabbergasted when you say things like that. It's weird.
Saul:Thank you.

Made me Inhale my popcorn!

Yep, this movie made me laugh so hard at one stage I inhaled a piece of popcorn.

This movie is excellent, It has so many funny moments you'll be laughing through the whole thing. I'd even go as far as to say that it's funnier than superbad.

James Franco gives a spectacular performance as a lazy stoner, at times I believed he was actually under the influence...hmmm.

Seth Rogen once again proves he can put on as good a comedic performance as the veteran comics such as Jim Carrey and Will Farrel, His career will definitely go a long way.

The supporting cast was great and made me laugh a lot which is good since usually you'd be relying on the main actors for a laugh.

I'd recommend this movie mainly for Young adults and teens but if your looking for a silly movie good for a lot of laughs, this is it. 10/10
