Hollywood Pulls Out All the Action and Comedy Stops for Summer, But Here's a Preview That Asks the Burning Question: Is Any of It Any Damn Good? By Peter Travers


Pineapple Express
Opening August 8th


Move over, Harold and Kumar, not to mention Cheech and Chong: Stoners Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) and Saul Silver (James Franco) are after a new strain of weed called Pineapple Express, and they might get killed for it. Produced by Judd Apatow (what comedy isn't these days?), from a script by Rogen and his Superbad partner, Evan Goldberg, this blend of mirth and menace has been generating great buzz in test screenings, especially for Spider-Man's stylish Franco, who looks like four miles of torn-up road and gives the comedy performance of his career. That the director is David Gordon Green, he of thoughtful indie dramas such as George Washington, Undertow and Snow Angels, only adds to the reefer madness.
