Rating: Summary: This is the GREATEST movie ever! Review: This has got to be one of the best movie ever! If you have read any reviews from critics, they say it's horrible. But it is the total opposite of what they say. Brian, Kenny, Thurgood, and Scar Face are so loveable and funny. I can't tell you enough good things about it, all I can say is GO SEE IT! It's fantastic, and Bob Sagat saying "I used to (...) for coke" was the greatest, I was laughing hysterically for at least five minutes. It has everything you just have to see it, you must, stop reading this review and freaking go watch it!
Rating: Summary: not medicinal Review: A few months back I ventured out to the local video store after a hard day at school. "Hmm," I thought. "Half-Baked...this looks good." After all, I doubt that Jim Brewer would be involved unless it was a class operation. "I'll take it." A more unwise choice I could not have made my friends. Aside from a few, if you can believe it, pot jokes, the movie simply falls flat on its face. There was one particulary entertaining part where Harlan Williams unknowingly feeds a diabetic horse enough junk food to kill, well, a horse, but beyond that it was just an incessant torrent of cheap jokes aimed at your average pot-smoking high school sophomore. As a side note directed toward the aforementioned high-schooler: I recommend taking the advice of John Stewart's character (the "ever done this...on weed?" guy) because otherwise you will undoubtedly realize what an incredibly ill-begotten film this really was. I will give Tommy Chong credit for his cameo, however. It's good to see that Mr. Chong has managed to shed his image as a low-life pothead and resurrect his once flailing career. He's come a long way really. Take for example his role in Tin Cup. When he told Kevin Costner that this was their last ball on the 18th faiway of the US Open, I was truly moved. Inspired even. Mr. Chong, I salute you and your craft sir. As for Half-Baked, please avoid this one. But if you must watch it, and I recommend against it, please take one message away from it. Pot kills brain cells kids. It's not hair, they don't grow back. And if you're bald, ignore the first part.
Rating: Summary: best stoner movie of all time! Review: other than the character who plays mary jane being the worst actress ever, i love this movie. ignore her terrible acting skills...this movie is a must see!!!!!
Rating: Summary: 'Yo, I'm Cuban, 'B!' Review: Yeah, ok, nobody starring in this movie deserved an Oscar nomination or anything, but I think the people giving the one-star ratings are taking life just a little too seriously. It's not 'Schindler's List' you're watching, it's a silly movie about a bunch of potheads, ok? Lighten up! How could you NOT laugh at this movie? It's one of those movies that's so ridiculous that you HAVE to laugh. Just sitting here thinking about this movie makes me chuckle.Just buy it and prepare to laugh so hard you'll pee yourself.
Rating: Summary: this movie is a must have Review: aiight, this movie is about four potheads who have been friends since they were like 7. now that they are all grown up, one is sent to jail... but not for smoken weed. he kills a diabetic police horse by feeding it junk food. don't press the "back" button yet, there is more. the bail is set at 100,000 dolllers and the remaining three potheads have to come up with the money or else there friend is gonna become "nasty nates" senorita if u catch my drift. anyways, they do so by sellen extremely high grade weed. this movie is full of hilarious sayings, actions, and scenes. even if u are not a pothead or don't usually like movies like this, u should at least WATCH the movie as it has become a one of the biggest cult classics since "pulp fiction" THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!
Rating: Summary: You Will Laugh Until You Cry! 4 1/2 out of 5 Stars! Review: To say this movie is good, is an understatement! This film has a great story, acting, casting, ect. ect.. Dave Chapelle (Con Air, Blue Streak) stars as Thurgood, a seeming ly happy "stoner" who lives with his 3 stoner friends in an apartment in New York (plus the "guy on the couch". But everything changes when their buddy Kenny from jail. (When he kills a diabetic horse). So now its up to Thurgood, Brian, and Scarface to raise 10% of his bail or be hounded by a group of thugs in jail. Now Thurgood, Brian, and Scarface must sell weed in order to save their friend Kenny. With special cameos by Jeaneane Geraffilo (Mystery Men, Dogma), Snoop Dogg (Baby Boy, Music Artist) Willy Nelson (Music Artist), Jon Stewart (The Jon Stewart Show, Evolution) and many others hit one of the funniest comedies of all time!
Rating: Summary: Why else would it be my favorite movie? Review: The first time that I saw this movie, I have to admit that I could truthfully not stop laughing. This is one of the most brilliant of all marijauna movies that I have seen since Cheech and Chong. Sure this movie is stupid, and the plot is somewhat insufficient, but that is expected of all movies that focas on the topic of marijuana. You could definantly tell that stupiditiy is what the writers were aiming for, and they hit the spot. Half Baked makes it on my list of one of the most hilarious movies of all time. This is one movie that I can promise you will never get sick of even if you watch it 50 times, plus, you can almost always catch something you didn't get before the second time around. This movie is a must have!
Rating: Summary: "Half-Baked" is Half-@ssed Review: Except for Terminator 2 (which sacrificed any plot in favor of 2 hours of things exploding), I doubt I have seen a movie as overrated as Half-Baked. I guess it's not surprising that this movie appeals to so many people, because so often what appeals to most people is the lowest-common denominator (look at any Pauly Shore movie and tell me that's not true). There is a plot to this movie- barely. Three pot-smoking guys decide to sell high-grade weed to raise money for a friend's bail. That's about it. But the plot is clearly secondary in this movie, which basically ends up being 2 hours of guys saying "We're stoned, man! We're stoned! Duuuuuuuh..." The acting isn't too bad. But when your character is a guy who has fried his brain on pot, it's not too difficult a role to play. Overall, this movie lacks a decent plot, good acting, and any actual humor. Had there been any real jokes in the movie- something other than "Duh, I'm STONED, MAN!"- the other flaws would be easier to forgive. Half-Baked would probably be half-funny, if it were more than just an excuse to put stoners on film.
Rating: Summary: One of the Most Underrated Films of Our Time Review: This movie is a true comedy classic. Sure, it doesn't handle weighty topics, but it is definitely one of the most hilarious films I've ever seen. It has absolutely inspired moments, and dialogue that will pepper your conversations with other fans of the movie. This film is lighthearted and lovable, and despite the admittedly juvenile and sophomoric topics, is wonderfully and brilliantly written. It contains flights of fancy that absolutely inspired. This is every bit as much a classic as Cheech & Chong films, and, to be frank, far more intelligent. This film, you'll find, is almost always checked out at your local video store. There's a *reason* for that. I am sorely disappointed that it hasn't received any more praise than what I see reflected here. The actors are all comedic geniuses. Dave Chapelle, God bless him, is a treat, as are the rest of the cast. If you're in the mood for a genuinely light hearted, *funny* movie, do yourself a favor and watch this film. You'll be glad you did.
