How High

Al Shearer, Anna Maria Horsford, Fred Willard

Grab your favorite munchies, kids. Red and Meth, that dope-addled dynamic duo, are going to Harvard!

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