Seth Rogen and James Franco star as a process server and a pot dealer, respectively, who are forced to go on the lam after one witnesses a drug-related murder.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS comes loaded with special features, including extended and alternate scenes, a gag reel, “The Making-of Pineapple Express†featurette and cast and filmmaker commentary featuring Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen.
The special unrated Blu-ray and 2-Disc unrated DVD include both theatrical and extended film versions, with scenes not shown in theaters. Additional bonus features on these editions include deleted scenes, fifteen behind-the-scenes featurettes and a bonus Digital Copy of the movie for playback on PC, PSP and iTunes.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray Disc is the special “Ride the Express Game.†Play as Dale or Saul and scale the ladders and levels to retrieve your personal property. Avoid Ted and the killer pineapples as you try to score as many points as you can.
