An Absolutely Terrible Film
12 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a big fan of Seth Rogen and Ray Liotta, and Anna Faris is one of the few actresses that can be both sexy and funny. That said, they should all be embarrassed to be part of this trash.

I'm almost impossible to offend. Nudity? Never bothered me. Language? Not a problem. Violence? Bring it on. As long, of course, as the end result is a quality film.

This film managed to be both offensive and vapid. There's nothing groundbreaking or clever about this film. It's just disgusting.

The film involves a mall cop's attempts to catch a flasher who's been terrorizing patrons. The flasher figures in to the one genuine laugh in the film (SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!). Rogen's character and the nice girl love interest share a sweet kiss across a food court table, and the flasher appears, penis dangling. It was a clever, surprising moment. Unfortunately, the filmmakers don't seem to understand the power of "less is more". That brief shot is followed by a good 60 seconds of the flasher- fully, frontally nude- being chased through the mall. Not funny. Not clever. Not creative. Just disgusting.

Pineapple Express wasn't a perfect film, but it contained a great mix of Pulp Fiction-style violence with raunchy comedy. This piece of crap aims for the same mix, but misses horribly.

Don't see this movie. Please, do not reward these people with your hard earned dollars.
