"While it might sound outlandish to speak of THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS in the same sentence as CITIZEN KANE, in its own little neck of the cinematic woods the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen comedy is perhaps just as groundbreaking."

"In fact, it's nearly impossible to think of another film that blends so seamlessly pitch-perfect stoner babble with high-octane action sequences."

"Indie director David Gordon Green (SNOW ANGELS) brings a subtle auteur's touch to the proceedings, approaching the smoking scenes with his distinctively loose feel and giving the action sequences a wonderfully dated sheen that makes them look more like a fight from KNIGHT RIDER than the empty flash of 21st-century blow-‘em-ups."

"There's only so many ways to play a stoner, but Franco puts his own endearing, lovable spin on the type, portraying Saul as a kind-hearted, well-intentioned yet hardcore dope smoker."

"Pineapple Express, another thundering juggernaut of bad taste, post-teen humour and arrested development from the team responsible for Knocked Up, Superbad and Drillbit Taylor."

"The film is disjointed and out of whack. It never settles on a style or a rhythm."

"There's no way that someone like Angie would be going out with Dale, and no reason story-wise for even pretending that she might."

"Pineapple Express has its fair share of laughs, but it's a fundamentally heartless and unlovable minor work from Team Apatow."

The newspaper article is from the telegraph. This, in contrast to the review gives a more critical view of 'Pineapple Express'. The article also may suggest what kind of audience the film is suited to. This is because it is a 'quality' newspaper so it is targeted at A/B class people. Therefore by criticising the film it is suggesting the film won't appeal to the readers but to more C2/D class people.
