38How High is not a particularly good movie, but then again it's not trying to be. It's a project by two B-list rappers seeking to extend their music careers in the way of stars like Will Smith, Ice Cube and Tupac Shakur.
-
38The biggest problem, ironically, is that even though the plot and the action center on smoking pot, it's not enough of a stoner flick. The concept of getting stoned isn't amusing; watching stoned people is.
-
38Method Man and Redman just don't have the comic timing to pull off 90 minutes at front-and-center.
-
30Too lazy to be a comedy, too conventional to be a head movie.
-
30Many of the faces that emerge through the murk appear bug-eyed. And much of the dialogue, which is frequently shouted, is only semi-intelligible.
-
25This mess was directed with no skill whatsoever by Jesse Dylan, whose father, Bob, once urged us all to get stoned.
-
25Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen.
-
Unfortunately, this low-lowbrow comedy, which tries to pass itself off as a "Friday" crossed with "Legally Blonde," also does nothing to distinguish itself from recent urban flops "The Wash" and "Pootie Tang."
-
20While How High could have been a fun comedy college students could watch over and over again, it instead plays like a bad USA movie of the week. The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't fully developed and poor editing only makes a humorless story confusing.
-
20The drug-fueled romp turns ugly, sexist and misogynistic, as so many rap-star vehicles do.
-
11Meets the required minimum dosage of feature-film attributes, and then nods out when it comes to going any further.
-
0Just when it looked like "Not Another Teen Movie" might claim the crap crown comes this stoner's tale.
