    I saw Tropic Thunder at a screening earlier this week, it’s pretty funny. Dripping of satire! Oh, and Tom Cruise in his cameo steals every scene!

    I definitely want to see that.

    However, we’ve decided to go for Pineapple Express. Then we’re going to come home and watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. An Apatow-themed day!

    I’m facing the same decision today. I’m on vacation in Akron and the ladies are going shopping. (hit Cedar Point yesterday and going to Indians game tomorrow!) I may wait till I get back home to see Pineapple Express so I can have the required, ahem… extracurriculars that movie deserves.

    I hope you like PE. I was really really disappointed with Forgetting Sarah Marshall - the rockstar boyfriend was the only character I really liked. I think we’re going to try and see Tropic Thunder this weekend.

    Ugg. I HATED Pineapple Express. It was waaaay too long for what it was and Seth Rogen was obviously waaay too high when he came up with it. Imagine hanging around with a bunch of 19 year-old stoners for 2.5 hours. That’s Pineapple Express. Perhaps funny if you’re a 19 year-old stoner, but that’s about it. Save your money. Not one of Apatow’s best by far. Although I did laugh maybe twice, but most of the time I was looking at my watch and secretly hoping the bf would turn to me and say, “Let’s just go.” I think he was saying the same thing.

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall is great though.

    Even though you made your decision already I was going to say go for P.E. as well. I enjoyed it much more.

    Have fun!

    After deciding not to decide, I just got back from a PE/TT double feature. Agreed that PE wasn’t so great. It had its moments, but I was a fairly disappointed. Tropic Thunder? HYSTERICAL. I’ve loved Stiller’s brand of humor since his show and this one didn’t let me down. Scene stealers left and right - LOVED it.

    We just got back from Pineapple Express. I really liked it! Although it was a lot more violent than I expected. However, I thought Danny McBride was genius. And James Franco was killing me.

    Can’t wait to see Tropic Thunder, too.

    Okay, just finished watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Really nice movie! It had what Pineapple Express was missing — heart.

    Also, I may never recover from the sight of Kenneth the Page nude. Please, help me un-see.

    We saw Tropic Thunder on Friday night. It is hysterical! I’m easily amused, generally, but my husband is a big grouch, and even he was laughing his ass off. I seriously can’t get the image of Tom Cruise in a fat suit out of my head. I want a little widget in my sidebar of him doing his little dance. PLAY ON, PLAYA.
