How High knows it is simply a vanity project to give a couple rappers a day job and an IMDb credit. The two being: Method Man as Silas: A smart cookie and renowned local weed-chemist who would rather be developing new strains of powerful weed than furthering his education.Redman as Jamal: A street smart but not very book smart young guy who wants to get into college only because his Mum demands it.When the ghost of Silas's deceased friend helps them ace the entrance exam with perfect scores – yep it's that easy folks – they decide Harvard is the place for their further education.Both guys nab hotties in quicktime, Meth the cute egghead and Red the crazy skank from esteemed parentage.The usual "cool but frankly inappropriate guys getting up to stuff while the squares gasp" ensues.Fred Willard is the oblivious old white guy in a senior role who thinks these two guys are just super. Hector Elizondo is the old white guy in a senior role who suddenly thinks he is black and ends up acting thusly, and the film ends with a formal gathering in which the boys get everyone stoned and the staid old white people getting fonkay in impromptu fashion. (If you're a stoner and fret that this will ruin your enjoyment thanks to the spoiler don't worry, you'll forget in just a minute anyway.) In between are various parties, pranks, white people not understanding and such. In answer to the obvious question of How High? The two guys are perpetually stoned and therefore very high, the movie unfortunately never scales any such heights.Final Rating – 5 / 10. About what you think it will be. A couple of charismatic guys spouting slang and cracking wise at those in the "establishment" (Damn You Establishment!).The moral of the story here is that stoner comedies are made for stoners. In 20 years of watching films I can recall only one that made me laugh, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle… and even that wasn't great.But who am I to hate: Toke on mediocre film makers!

I understand the fact that everyone has got their own taste when it comes to a movie genre and therefore some might feel that a "comedy" is based on a particular set of principles, essentially going into humour. But there are different ways in which many people perceive humour, some believe it's all about the jokes, some enjoy the swearing involved and others might love the typical Woody Allen script.This movie isn't set to achieve an Oscar or any kind of prestigious award. I am pretty sure that that was the last thing that came through the writer's and director's minds. The only thing they intended to do was to make a film that could be enjoyed by the audience that loves the stereo-typing comedy films, which to be honest is growing faster and faster. And they nailed it.The story is hilarious, the acting, well method and redman are hilarious at what they do best, which is fool around. Don't expect any intelligent sophisticated humour or satire. I'm not implying that the movie is full of dumb humour, on the contrary, its loaded with brilliant funny situations and loads of jokes. If you liked soul plane, then you're going to love this one.So don't vote negatively just because it wasn't your cup of tea and try to understand that there's a different generation out there that really appreciates a good fun entertaining movie to watch as they also appreciate the other styles of "comedy".

You Americans suck. P.S. I'm white. It was a great comedy. Get lives. Are we still talking about the movie? Who reads these things anyway? The cool people obviously. Seriously, check your judgmental baggage at the cinema door. Get lives, did I say that? I need ten lines to submit this. I'm inserting bullsh*t here to meet the required length. Bullsh*t: This is that song to play at them parties, where them M&Ms are Trina act like Smarties Girls drink Bacardi, guys get naughty, got so much game people calling' me sporty But I don't know, what I'm gonna do tonight bro So many ho*s, its like Mitre 10 is having one of 'em sales again Oh no, no (Female): No he didn't just call me a hoe, boy you'd better be kidding' Yes, yes, yes I did, and I ain't a kid. Plus you gotta admit you get around a bit! You more easy than it is to get queasy When looking' at you girl. Who invited Kim Beazley?
