If you like stoner comedies and Cheech & Chong, “How High” will feel like home.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 27, 2023

Unfortunately, this stoner comedy doesn't hold up nor was it likely very good at the time of its initial release in 2001. How High unites these two friends in an absurd and impossible-to-believe story that has them challenging establishments at Harvard.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 11, 2023

The overlong, messy and chaotic film is not funny and has no social redeeming value.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2005

The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't fully developed and poor editing only makes a humorless story confusing.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 8, 2002

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2002

Silly, sloppy, and liberated from any sense of pacing or plot

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 13, 2002

Sinfully tasteless cinema was everywhere in 2001 - but this movie is so bad it's Freudian.

As it stands, a movie like How High does nothing more than perpetuate the belief that marijuana is enjoyed solely by idiots.

Full Review | Original Score: 35/100 | May 27, 2002

Not all the gags work, not all the gross-outs serve the greater good, but How High is funny, quick, and the very definition of a pleasant surprise.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 11, 2002

You've seen it before.

| Original Score: D | Apr 3, 2002

This is one clumsy cannabis comedy that couldn't give the late Timothy Leary a natural high worth experiencing! Nip this "joint" session in the bud!

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 4, 2002

Can they go any lower?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 4, 2002

For better or for worse, How High knows what its audience wants and serves it to them, straight up, without any sort of moral or ethical chaser.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 6, 2002

Despite the comedy's reliance on drug humor, first-time director Jesse Dylan is actually less interested in getting high than in seeing how low he can go.

Less outrageous than simply desperate.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 3, 2002

Feebly crafted in virtually every way imaginable -- directing, cinematography, acting, scriptwriting.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Dec 30, 2001

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 27, 2001

Maintains a consistent level of a swaggering, semi-anarchic silliness reminiscent of '70s youth-skewing comedies.
