Preview: Pineapple Express (2008)

• Poster: D+

Review:

Attempting to look like some '80s action film, the poster merely accentuates the disorientingly unfunny trailer. There's nothing original or expressive in this poster.

Review:

It appears Seth Rogen's cachet can result in any movie being made. The subject is so ludicrous and the performances so awful that Zombie Strippers would be a more interesting film. This will be a test of Rogen's drawing power. It has largely his name to pull in an audience and since James Franco's playing down his looks, I don't see him as being much of a draw either.

Oscar Prospects:

With the critically-acclaimed films Superbad and Knocked Up all failing to capture Oscar recognition, there's little chance this farce will be able to do so either.
