Failed movie ideas: Panda Express.

After the success of Harold & Kumar, why not tie-in another real food chain in a tale of two stoners?

Mein characters: Rogen and Franco are dead men woking.

For Dale Denton, a process server who gets high while working and dates a high schooler, life is sweet. Then suddenly, it gets sour. Dale is about to find something terrifying in the Teriyaki sauce. Dale (Seth Rogen), fresh off picking up some pot from his dealer, Saul (James Franco), stops at his favorite mall food court eatery, Panda Express, after smoking up in the parking lot, and accidentally witnesses an employee adding MSG to the cuisine. Most shocking of all, the shipment was supplied by a police officer. Convinced the worker caught him observing, Dale hurries back to Saul’s place and the pair go on the run, searching for safety against the rangoons of a ruthless restaurant that values preserving its secret even more than its food. The pair, who forge a friendship fleeing, soon realized it’s their duty to inform the public it’s been bamboozled by a pernicious Panda. Proving they’re not chicken anymore, Dale and Saul fight back, General Tso-style, to take out the bad guys. And with a little good fortune, these tough cookies just might prevail. Get ready for Kung Pow action with Panda Express!

    hint to the author: stoners don’t call it “smoking up”– that just sounds lame.

    You figured out what my shrink and legions of soothsayers couldn’t: I’m a lame non-stoner.
