James Franco flashes his wide grin of innocence and benign amiability as the sweet, stupid, emotionally ebullient Saul, the friendly neighborhood dope dealer and the exclusive distributor of the sweet new herbal strain known as Pineapple Express. Seth Rogen is wise-cracking straight man Dale, a process server who is remarkably effective despite the fact that he tokes up between assignments. The screenplay by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (from a story co-written with producer Judd Apatow) doesn’t really take us anywhere we haven’t been before, but it gets stoner culture in a way movies haven’t really done before, and it offers an accidental buddy film that works. Not previously a director known for his sense of humor, he has a great time with the comedy while keeping his eye on the characters and the chemistry.

The sensibility of David Gordon Green, who jumped from indie dramas of small town tragedy to this stoner buddy comedy, is one of the reasons that Pineapple Express (2008) works. One of the smartest things he did was to seek out directors not normally associated with his brand of humor and bring them on board. The Judd Apatow factory refreshed the coming-of-age comedy (for all ages of adolescent men) in comedies like Knocked Up, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall before stretching itself thin (that’s my best explanation for Drillbit Taylor and Step Brothers).
