Storyline

Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city's most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him--and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express. Written by Anonymous

Cheech & Chong reloaded
19 April 2009 | by See all my reviews

I watched the movie at Sneak Preview, so I haven't seen the unrated DVD/Blu Ray cut yet. Still even that version, was pretty grim and a movie that will not appeal to people that get grossed out easily. I haven't seen "Cheech & Chong" in a while, but I do feel it has the same feeling.

The movie begins with a bang/laugh and you can tell right there at that instance if you will like the movie or not. If you think the intro to the movie isn't good/funny, than you won't enjoy the rest of it. At least not as much. I could tell by the audience reaction. Some did laugh at the beginning and those that didn't, weren't amused along the ride either.

The movie walks a very thin line and doesn't care, if it walks all over the place. But even in it's weirdest moments or when it's completely off-balance, it still is kinda fun. At least that's how I felt! :o)
