Seth Rogen and the boys are back in action for their latest installment of ridiculous over the top comedies and this one is a stoner-dy. Okay I'm sorry that wasn't cool but this movie is pretty cool and it's a whole lot of fun as well. The idea is ridiculous and the only guys that could really pull this off were the ones that were in this film so hats off to them.The movie opens with Seth's character driving down the street smokin' a joint serving people and not in the nice kind of way; he gets sworn at, yelled at, threatened and well it's all in a days work. We then learn that he's dating a highschool girl and that he is a complete loser that sits and smokes weed all day but all that changes when he witnesses someone getting shot in the head in a mob boss' house. Him and his drug dealer (franco) pursue on a thrill ride of a lifetime and learn some valuable lessons along the way; like selling weed to minors is bad, even smoking it is bad, and just thinking about your dreams won't make them happen. This is possibly the cleanest Rogen movie that has come out which is always a plus but that doesn't mean there isn't swearing because there is still here and there.
This movie has no brain power; it just works off of hilarious gags that run over and over again and each time they do they get more and more ridiculous and this is funny. When you have James Franco's character getting is foot stuck in a windsheild while being chased by a crazy girl cop and flying through the air and screaming isn't funny enough then how about Gary Cole purple nurpling Seth Rogen in the middle of a giant weed factory? If these stupidly hilarious gags make you laugh then you will love this movie and aside from the laughs the action is very good too.
Overall this movie isn't an oscar worthy movie but it is tons of fun. The humour is top notch where as the zany characters make this a joyous and pleansant movie experience that won't challenge your brain a whole lot; I just had a blast hanging out with these guys, this movie is hilarious.
