20 Most Horribly Misleading Movie Titles

8. Pineapple Express

What It Sounds Like: David Gordon Green€™s stoner comedy sounds more like an animated kiddies flick in the vein of Madagascar. A crate of tropical pineapples, freshly plucked, make their way across the globe to a gritty urban street market in London. The juicy fruits contend with planes, trains and automobiles in a comedy that John Hughes could have written. If he were desperate for another house.

What It Actually Is: Well, sadly that potential pitch never came to... fruition. Green€™s stoner com brought Seth Rogen and James Franco together as smoker and dealer. The pineapple express is the street name for a particular strain of weed responsible for landing the pair in trouble.
