SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I had seen Super High Me on the shelves of my local video store but never would have rented it. I mean it is one of those movies that you can look at the cover and know exactly what you're in for and I'm not big on pot and I think something like this is just dumb. So why did I end up seeing it? Well it premiered on Netflix and I guess I had nothing better to do and thought I would give it a chance but it provided exactly what I thought. In all honestly it wasn't quite the complete waste that I thought it would be. I guess I have to give some credit to film maker, star, writer and comic Brian Unger for at least trying to work in some actual information and documentary worthy information by tackling the legalization and distribution of pot in California but I really don't thin anyone is going to come away from this educated or feel any differently about pot if you like it or hate. Work in some dirty comedy routines with a lot of four letter words and I think stoners will love the movie but the average movie watcher will groan and be done with the whole thing in the first 15 minutes. While Unger touches on the medical side effects of what he's doing he hardly makes it known because clearly as a stoner he supports pot and legalization and everything he is doing. He spends more time finding different ways to smoke it and promote it. The film is watchable if not just barely and I hope we don't have to sit through anything else he does and I hope the film's namesake Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) sues him for taking a truly great film and turning it into stoner trash. Skip this unless you're high and wanna giggle like Beavis and Butthead. 5/10

A semi-spoof documentary of Super Size Me, which explores a similar premise to the McDonald's movie, but exchanges burgers with 'medical' marijuana. The lead of this movie is the no2 cannabis comedian in the country - Gary Cohan. He goes through before and after tests, describes his ordeal and does stand-up in the meantime. Only three things really stand out in this movie: - the short presentation of the situation of medical marijuana in California, where federal law is raping state law and DEA is closing down and arresting legal medical marijuana stores; - the interesting observation that marijuana seems to have improved psychic abilities :); - the fact that the stand-up comic is way funnier on marijuana than off it...Apart from that the movie is rather a bore and you really feel that it is too long and unnecessary. I'll give you one thing - its absurd that McDonald's is legal, while marijuana is forbidden.

For fans of Doug Benson's comedy, be it stand-up or "Best Week Ever", you'll get more out of this documentary on him as he goes 30 days with weed and 30 days without then other viewers. If one goes into the film expecting an intelligent documentary on the pros Vs. cons of weed you'll be vastly disappointed. One only needs to know that this was made 'in cahoots' (the film's words not mine) with 420 Partners Llc to know which side of the fence this film firmly sits on and thus skews the 'infomation' in that direction and to suit it's need. Propaganda in a way, not to say it's not (vaquely) entertaining in bits and pieces, it is. Just go into the film knowing that it's slanted and you'll be fine.My Grade: C-

Super High Me aspires to be the "Super Size Me" of pot smoking, instead of eating McDonald's or fast food for a month. The basic premise of the film is that Doug Benson, the narrator/main character, a self-described pothead, will not smoke marijuana for 30 days, then smoke it near constantly for 30 days. Unfortunately, Super High Me is not as good as Super Size Me. Super High Me lacks the witty humor and flow of Super Size Me. It contains basically no evidence of a "pro-pot" or "anti-pot" nature. It leaves the viewer somewhat confused, especially in the second half once Benson begins smoking pot heavily. Overall, I'd recommend Super Size Me far more than Super High Me.
