We haven’t written much on David Gordon Green’s Pineapple Express, and you’ve sure let us hear about it, so here’s a link to the new, MPAA-approved theatrical trailer. Now get off our freakin’ backs already!
You
may be asking, “What’s the difference between this and the red-band
trailer from a month ago?” The answer: no joints, no bongs and no
sticky-icky. Without any overt references to the demon weed, it looks
like Pineapple Express
is about a bunch of dudes who go apeshit over their love for cigarettes
– i.e. it plays like the funniest movie John Cassavetes never made
(utterly unrelated: I wonder if Judd Apatow is a Cassavetes fan).
Seriously, the trailer does a fantastic job of insinuating its pot
comedy premise without violating the MPAA’s puritanical insistence that
all-ages audiences be shielded from the awful reality of substance
abuse. Luckily, the film is much more than just the sum of its stoner
gags; it’s got Seth Rogen wire-work fer crissakes!
This is where I piss and moan that we have to wait until August 8th to see Pineapple Express. If Tropic Thunder lives up to the promise of its teaser, August could be a terrific month for R-rated action comedy. Aren’t you excited!?!?

Too bad the same thing couldn't be said about my "trailer".
Bingo Bob really went off the deep end.
That trailer is kind of terrible, but I'm still extremely excited for this movie. I'm not sure a trailer like that will get people unfamiliar with the movie into theaters though.
I guess the MPAA didn't listen to the lyrics of the song that's playing.
Not to shabby. Really captures the essence of the red-band trailer. Too bad they couldn't clean up the hitchhiking gag enough.
is this the white version of Harold and Kumar?
This movie looks week. James France is funny? When did that happen. I liked the guy better when he just sucked at acting. Seriously though, is this guy supposed to be Hayden Christiansans twin brother or something?
