Al Shearer, Anna Maria Horsford, Fred Willard

Grab your favorite munchies, kids. Red and Meth, that dope-addled dynamic duo, are going to Harvard! And while it's not an episode of Masterpiece Theatre, How High is destined to become ...( read more  read more... )a guilty pleasure of the cannabis crowd. The plot's a familiar one--take the basic selling points of any Cheech & Chong movie (a pair of shambolic protagonists who smoke lots of weed while slinging slang and driving funky, '70s-style cars), graft them onto a generic "raising hell on campus" teen movie scenario, and shake vigorously. The result is a prosaic effort that does contain some all-too-brief moments of genuine humor. Red and Meth, a.k.a. Redman and Method Man, may look like the world's oldest freshmen, but both offer genial performances, especially Method Man, who imbues the character of Silas with a dog-eared gentleness that raises him above the film's leaden script and plasticine directing. --Rebecca Levine

    How absolutely inane.

    It's derogatory in many ways, targeting many different ethnic groups, but I leave this factor out of my rating entirely. I have met seemingly few women that enjoyed it (make that seemingly few men as well). It makes a mockery of the fine institution of Harv...( read more)ard., on top of it.

    Vulgar, but not in a good (or entertaining) way.

    the first 30 mins were actually really hilarious, and then they tried to progress the plot and it became a blaxploitation cliche, oh well
