When Pineapple Express first introduces Seth Rogen’s Dale Denton, the first thought that comes to mind is, “how many times is he going to play this character?” Dale is a lazy process server who delivers subpoenas by day, and enjoys a healthy amount of recreational marijuana by night (and also by day). Though it’s safe to assume that Dale will spend a majority of his time enjoying his mind-altering substance of choice and maintaining a relatively low profile, the plot quickly shifts when he visits his drug dealer and sort-of friend, James Franco’s Saul Silver.
Much to Dale’s delight, Saul has a new, highly-potent, and incredibly rare strain of marijuana from his supplier known as Pineapple Express. After their initial meetup, Dale returns to work while still enjoying the product so he can deliver a citation to Ted Jones (Gary Cole).
