It took me a while (long enough to type the movie’s name in IMDB) to figure out where I have heard of David Gordon Green before. I loved his indie flick, Undertow. He is the last person I would have pegged to direct this very funny hyper-violent stoner comedy! He does a great job and this one is very funny with likable characters -and many character flaws 🙂 – especially Saul, played by James Franco.

first half of Pineapple Express was about half as good as Knocked Up; the second half was almost as bad as Freddy God Fingered
