'Your Highness': Ye Olde Silly Buggersnew
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time to take Danny McBride and James Franco, stick them in tights and jerkins, and have them rescue Natalie Portman from fire-breathing dragons, or some shit. But they left one important ingredient behind: Judd Apatow.

If You Think Kicks to the Crotch Are Funny, 'Your Highness' is For Younew
There is no point to this unforgivable excuse for a comedy, except, obviously, for Danny McBride to make his buddies (director Green, co-star James Franco) chortle over pot jokes and at least pretend to get himself laid.

Dig the New Breed; The Apatow Comedy Spree Continues
"Pineapple Express" could easily be titled the "Apatow Express" for the way it expands on Judd Apatow's influence as a modern-day Mel Brooks. The title refers to a hybrid kind of marijuana so rare that to smoke it is akin to "killing a unicorn."

Stoner Movies: They're Not Just for Stoners Anymore!new
Yes, Pineapple Express a stoner flick, but rather than kowtow to the patently American genre, they've turned it on its haze-filled head by realizing that--whoa--many people don't find Cheech & Chong that funny

While David Gordon Green once exemplified the essence of independent filmmaking with his 2000 debut George Washington, his new film Snow Angels shows he has since fallen victim to indie film conventions.

Caught in the Big Muddynew
Cross-pollinate the arthouse film with B-movie backwoods gothic, and you get something like Undertow’s peculiar fusion of high and low culture.

Green Archersnew
To call Undertow a '70s-style revenge movie is accurate, but those unfamiliar with the director's style may wonder why it takes so long to get to the action.

Undertow Evokes Fairy Tale, Myth and the Cain and Abel Storynew
Filmmaker David Gordon Green cultivates a mood of impending bloodshed, but by evoking Southern horror flicks and crime potboilers of the 1970s. Using natural light and shaky camera work, Undertow plays out like the bad dream you might have after watching a night of R-rated films.
