The Short List of Things to Do
Pineapple Express
The Judd Apatow mob muscles into action comedy with this louche, lunatic tale of a process server (Seth Rogen, who co-wrote the script) and his marijuana dealer (James Franco) going klutzily on the run from druglords. It's the Two Stooges with guns, a car chase and some very dope dope jokes.
