Robert Downey shows massive balls ....

Also, I hear Tom Cruise is hilarious in it.

I think Pineapple Express will be better.

I can't wait for both films...

Robert Downey... funny *******.

Pretty good Hugh Jackman sendup.

I want to see this for no other reason than Downey.

No.

The Kevin Smith flick with Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks about two friends who make a porno will rule the summer.

I have no clue how a film with Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. can be the funniest film of the hour, never mind the summer. And Downey pisses me off. He's not nearly that talented to keep getting the chances he gets.

Watch Chaplin, then come back and let us know if you still feel that way.

Downey in Iron Man erased all doubts about the man.

Wow, Downey is an amazing talent. He was unreal in Chaplin.

Thank you. That was my thought, too.

He would have been amazing in The Client.

Seriously, though ... if this movie was any good, it would have been released before Father's Day.

Oscar nomination and all, he's talented enough to get ALL these chances?

Watch Charlie Bartlett, too. He was outstanding. Only one little thing I would've tweaked to make one scene a 10 instead of a 9.5.

He owns that movie.

Listening to Opie and Anthony this morning, Patrice O'Neal said it was amazingly hilarious.

Um, I don't normally correct people but Zach and Miri Make A Porno comes out at the end of October.

That's not summer.

But I agree with you that that movie will kick the crap out of any comedy of 2008. Hands down.

Name me another film that got an NCAA-17 rating on the first cut, chopped out 15 minutes and was still deemed too offensive to those under 17?

Luckily, K. Smith appealed it and got it taken down to an R, but I am so stoked for this movie, it's not even funny. From what I've heard from test screenings and whatnot, it's his best flick since Clerks.

I'm going to go see Pineapple Express as soon as I get out of work.

Superhero/action/special effects-laden movies = boring as ****. to me, at least.

And scheizainc, thanks for the correction. I really thought Zack and Miri was coming out in late August.

Onion's AV Club gave Pineapple Express an A-.
Those guys hate everything and they loved this movie.
