REVIEW
"PINEAPPLE EXPRESS"
Rated R. At AMC Loews Boston Common, Regal Fenway Stadium and suburban theaters.
Grade: A-
All aboard the "Pineapple Express." The anti-drug police will have this outrageous stoner film noir-comedy in their gun sights for sure. But it is one bumpy-funny, bong-smoke-filled ride, and maybe the best action film of the summer.
Eat your heart out Quentin Tarantino. Meet the Teddy bear-ish, beige-suited, white-belted, 25-year-old Dale Denton (Seth Rogen, making a case to be named this generation's Edmond O'Brien), Los Angeles process server and stoner extraordinaire.
