Over the last few years writer/director/producer Judd Apatow has had the Midas Touch in the film industry, responsible for hits including Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
His latest film, Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco, hits theaters on Wednesday August 6th, is a surefire stoner classic.
Apatow and crew have been banging out successful movies at a rate of two per year. So how did he come up with the idea for Pineapple Express?
“I was watching “True Romance” back in the late 90’s on laserdisk, and I thought, Brad Pitt is so funny as this pothead character but there’s only one scene. I kind of wish there was a whole movie about that guy. And then I started thinking they never have stoner movies with great Jerry Bruckheimer level action–wouldn’t it be funny if you were chasing guys who were so high that it makes it hard for them to get away? So we spent a few months, had a meeting every once in a while, kickin’ around that like and then before you knew it, we have “Pineapple Express.”

The streak continues for Judd Apatow’s comedy crew. In Superbad, writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have take the signature raunchy wit of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and let it lose on the high school sex comedy genre. While the “nerdy guys trying to get laid� formula may seem well worn at this point, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera rip through line after line with awkward comic genius. From debating the best porn site to subscribe to so their parents don’t notice it on the bill to the merits of a breast reduction, this brilliant comic duo speaks with such conviction they might as well be debating politics. It has to be said that Michael Cera, who some may know as “George Michael� from the comic masterpiece Arrested Development, is the Marlon Brandow of the awkward teenager.
