Tropic Thunder dir. Ben Stiller
I enjoyed both of these movies, with both of them being pretty much exactly what I expected. "Pineapple Express" is a Judd Apatow movie, but with a lot more action, and "Tropic Thunder" is a Ben Stiller movie combined with a big budget Vietnam movie. So you pretty much know what you are getting into.
Pineapple Express is hilarious, mostly because of the two leads, Seth Rogen and James Franco formerly of Apatow's "Freaks and Geeks". There are just so many good lines. Also funny is Danny McBride of "Foot Fist Way" who is also in Tropic Thunder. McBride spends much of Tropic Thunder with Nick Nolte, who is playing the vet who wrote the book that the movie is based on.
I would have to say I enjoyed Pineapple Express slightly more then Tropic Thunder, even though it had a pretty terrible ending. Some people have complained about the whole last section of the movie, when the film switches to full action mode, but I was alright with it.
Pineapple: 9/10
Thunder: 8/10
