What Parents Need to Know
About Pineapple Express
Parents need to know that, from the opening scene, this "hard R" comedy -- which teens will want to see thanks to the presence of Knocked Up star Seth Rogen -- is suffused in a heavy cloud of marijuana smoke. One of the lead characters is a pot dealer, and the other smokes it habitually; pot is also sold to schoolchildren. There's also lots more violence than in most comedies from producer Judd Apatow, as well as constant strong language (including "f--k," and "s--t"). All of that said, one character does come to regret and reject his pot use, and dope-dealing higher-ups are portrayed as brutal, vicious criminals and murderers.

Families Can Talk About

Do you think this movie sincerely depicts the negative consequences of marijuana use, or does it glamorize it and make it seem acceptable, even cool? What message does that send to teens who see the movie? Families can also talk about how this movie is similar to and different from others in the "Judd Apatow school" of humor. Why do you think his style of comedy is so popular?

Before i say anything else, this movie is full of/ and about drugs. There is some violence (mainly near the end) and it is one of the major points of the movie (not much blood is shown, except for after on shirts, and part of someones ear comes off). There is nonstop language (mainly the f-word). And the messages arnt good because of the drug use. The role models arnt great (drug use) but they do work together, and come back for each other.

Great. If you don't want your kids doing drugs make them watch this. It will scare them straight. And the violence is just so corny.

14 and up :)
I loved this movie! It totally is up to the parents, but i myself think this movie is great for ages 14 and up, because it has good messages and friendship. Sure there's graphic drug use and ALOT of language, but if your kids are mature enough, then i think it is a great movie!

NOT OK FOR KIDS OR EVEN TEENS
Ok, ok, this really IS NOT a movie for kids, or most teens, for that matter, But it is funny for young adults, as long as they can tolarate TONS of swearing and pot smoking. Good way to see how pot smoking can effect you, but the situations are highly unrealistic and overly violent. The "good thing" in the plot line was when Seth Rogen' s character decides he should stop smoking because he realizes how stupid it makes him. But this is a short -lived realization, and doesn't last. I did laugh, because this actually is a pretty funny movie, but only in a VERY INAPPROPRIATE WAY. It is definetly a stupid humor frat boy comedy, and one of those movies you hate to love. The best message it sends is : don't be like this.

Good movie if you are 15 or older
This movie is okay if you are 15 or older. There is a lot of drug use and bad language. Words include f*** you. I wouldnt let anyone watch it under 15

Very funny
this movie is very good. I laughed the hole time. But the movie is about a pothead named Dale Denton (Seth Rogen). When Dale is out smoking watching a murder, he tries to get away, but he smashes into police cars makin noises. He gets away and goes to his drug dealers. Dale and his drug dealer Saul most try to get away from the cops. This movie is very funny, but it is full of pot. Also, they curse a lot. Saul and Red are drug dealers.

language,violence, drugs what more could a teen ask for.
I am extremely impressed... I saw this movie at my friends house and spent the night we order this movie at 1 in the morning, Oh My God! it was incredible... Seth Rogan and James Franco are outstanding... Its Funny to watch these to guys get stoned and become incredibly clueless, There is more Violence than a comedy should have, Beatings Stabbings Point blank gun shots and the most violent part is when a man is crushed against a car by another car and then driver of the car get out and blows the tip of his foot off... Language- Intensely Strong and Constant Drugs- Drugs is the whole base of the movie, Pineapple express is a rare marijuana wich is why its called "Pineapple Express" Message- Drugs are not alright nor is violence, but this movie also shows why you shouldn't do drugs Final- This Movie is AMAZING and HILARIOUS even the violence strong and the language stronger and the drugs strongest.... I recommend 15 and up I am 13 but i am mature... I think
