How High Reviews
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.

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

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

Too lazy to be a comedy, too conventional to be a head movie.
| Dec 25, 2001
Features a fine mix of several generations of comic talent plus a terrific soundtrack from its stars.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 21, 2001
How High doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 21, 2001
Sample what you want. Doze through the rest.

This chaotic mess of a film ... has the disjointed quality of a stoned-out fantasy.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 21, 2001
A slapdash collection of tired drug jokes, fish-out-of-water clichs, projectile vomiting and gross-out humor.
Full Review | Dec 21, 2001
The infectious high spirits amid its cartoonish chaos compensate for the film's bald deficiencies and gag-inducing gags.

Aims low but smacks the funny bone considerably more often than it misses.
Full Review | Dec 21, 2001
A string of gross one-liners about ho's, white-man university, ho's, marijuana, ho's, the sexual inadequacy of Orientals, ho's, amazingly clueless white people, and ho's.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 21, 2001
There's ... enough cheery mockery to amuse even non-tokers.
| Original Score: C+ | Dec 21, 2001
The biggest problem, ironically, is that even though the plot and the action center on smoking pot, it's not enough of a stoner flick.

It begs the response that seems to have been the moviemakers' mantra: 'Whatever.'
Full Review | Dec 20, 2001
A hip-hop comedy that succeeds even when How High tests how low it can go.
| Dec 20, 2001
A spottily amusing showcase for rappers Method Man and Redman.

Totally witless.
