Did Not Live Up to Billing

I saw Step Brothers last week and thought it was pretty good (B). Given the reviews I had read about Pineapple Express, I anticipated even more fun today with Seth Rogen and James Franco than what was experienced with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. It didn't happen.
Can you imagine watching a couple of guys constantly (during the whole movie) drinking alcohol while trying to manage their lives and/or a crisis? There might be a few laughs along the way, but it probably won't be long before you tire of watching them drink and act drunk. Now substitute weed for alcohol. For me, it's the same result. I just got tired of watching them smoke and hearing them say goofy things.
There are some moments and scenes that are humorous. Overall, though, I could have waited for it on DVD. Maybe if you're stoned while you watch the movie you'll enjoy it more than I did. |
