With Tracy out of town and the boys staying with Grandma last night, I figured I'd take advantage and go see "Pineapple Express" (since I knew Tracy would have no interest).
The flick was pretty funny. Some big laughs. A lot like the Cheech and Chong movies. Two stoners who get in or cause a bunch of trouble. Mixing in the Apatow era is interesting and made for some great lines. Some of the characters are a little strange (Rogen is dating a high school girl!?!?!) but still funny.
The best part of the movie, however, was the soundtrack. Starting with "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant and moving into some classic reggae with Bob Marley and then a little-known Peter Tosh song was sweet. The final credits roll with a new song by Huey Lewis and the News called "Pineapple Express." It's amazing because the lyrics are pretty funny but it sounds like it could have been produced in the 80's (even sounds a little like "Hip to be Square."
