But there's still time for a gloriously unexpected coda, a moment of quiet reflection and narrative ingenuity that confirms 'Pineapple Express' as the finest comedy of the year.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Watching Pineapple Express is like sitting dead sober in a room with a bunch of stoned people who are laughing uproariously. They're having a great time. You're not.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Gore and yucks are not an easy combination to pull off and Team Apatow simply do not have the skills.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

At its sharpest, the script by [Seth]Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who co-wrote Superbad, recalls what made Superbad worth seeing: the sidewinding conversational riffs, the why-am-I-laughing? wordplay.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
This is an endearingly slovenly, profane movie with bursts of startling violence, but it's all played for nyuk-nyuk laughs, and it has been directed with more care than it might initially appear by David Gordon Green.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
