I can't remember the last time I went to watch a comedy in theaters.

I can't remember the last time I saw a comedy.

But man, I loved this one, so much that I unknowingly started laughing like a girl, and that's huge. It was mostly the final parts that killed me, but the movie was solid overall.

Discuss.

There was a hilarious Johnny Depp cameo if that helps.

Do I need to have a basic awareness of the original tv show to understand this movie?

Saw an ad for this and it looks nothing like the original.

The directors also directed Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which is the main reason I want to watch it.

Aside from lame trailers that made it look like a derivative effort, I wasn't aware of the history of this project nor the people involved in making it, yet ended up having a blast.

And if it wasn't for Depp's cameo, I'd still have no idea about either.

I hope more people go out to see it, because the trailers really undersold the movie. I've never been a big fan of Jonah, but he won me in this one. Tatum was great as well, and the dynamic and chemistry between the duo were spot on.

Well put, Robo.

The rest of you mofos should watch this. What Jonah did should be water under the bridge by now.

There is literally a point in this movie where Jonah Hill brings a box of taco bell tacos to a party, and later on this gesture is looked back on as a symbol of genuine friendship.  I'm not sure what else you can say to get the bores stamp of approval on this flick.

It is everything pineapple express wished it was.

Saw it yesterday. Ice Cube swearing every other word was awseome. The name for the drug was awesome. The whole film was awesome.
