After last year's "Knocked Up", Seth Rogan's been on a roll. Or rather a high. Much like the trailer, expect a lot of laughs from a not-so-typical weed comedy that melds two genres together. While the film is funny, some scenes can get a bit violent, straying from what you usually see in a Rogan/Apatow collaboration. The story-line gets incoherent towards the end as it doesn't go beyond two potheads running from the bad guys. Still, James Franco's character antics and actions make the film worthwhile. It's a nice way to end off a summer of diverse films.
