Pineapple Express, Somers Town and The Wave in this week's biggest DVDs to hit the shelves.
Seth Rogen continues his bid to be in as many hit comedies as possible with stoner romp Pineapple Express, out on DVD this week.
The Fozzy Bear soundalike teams up with James Franco as a pot smoker and his dealer who go on the run after witnessing a murder.
Though the lengthy action climax drags on, Rogen's as appealing as always, while Franco has deservedly earned a Golden Globe nomination for his entirely loveable portrayal of a childlike weed dealer.
