Editorial Reviews

Cannabis comedy doesn't get more juvenile than this pro-pot goof about three stoners who come to the rescue of a fourth buddy when he's arrested for feeding a lethal dose of junk food to a diabetic police horse. Kenny (Harland Williams) is sent to jail, and to rescue him from the almost inevitable trauma of homosexual rape (giving you some idea of this movie's level of humor), his buddies set out to raise his $100,000 bail by selling high-grade weed ripped off from a pharmaceutical research lab. That's about it for the plot; the rest of the movie's a parade of marijuana jokes and amusing pot-friendly cameos by the likes of Snoop Dog, Willie Nelson, and Janeane Garofalo. As two of the bong-hitting buddies, Jim Breuer (from Saturday Night Live) and comedian Dave Chappelle do their best to disguise the movie's lack of inspiration. But no matter how hard they try to milk laughs from the one-joke premise, they can't stop the movie's title from being an apt description of the movie itself. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars Paramount Stinks!!!!, October 30, 2005

By	Handsome Pete (Milltown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This version is basically complete garbage as Dave Chappelle & Neal Brennan had absolutely nothing to do with its release. The extras are worthless. Who honestly gives a damn about Granny's recipes (something that wasn't mentioned in the movie), or 5 minutes with a fat guy sleeping on a couch that isn't Steven Wright. The extras & the Extras on The Jerk DVD that was released around the same time, are a complete embarrassment. Paramount should learn to give fans what they want, not make up new extra's with 0 context to the movie they are appearing on. This is as bad as the first season of Viva La Bam (which was censored, even though the packing said it was uncensored). You are much better off with the original copy of the DVD, as the deleted scenes on this one are incredibly grainy. It gets 3 stars because the movie is funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samson Gets Me Lifted, September 10, 2004

By	J. Brittman "The Bottom Line" (Long Island, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Half Baked (DVD)

(...)Half Baked is Dave Chappelle's coming out party. This movie is friggin' hilarious. Based around 4 pothead buddies, one of which (Kenny aka Harland Williams) gets thrown in jail for killing a horse leaving Chappelle, Jim Breuer and Guillermo Diaz having to come up with 100 large to free their buddy. So how else would three stoners get the kind of money they need to free their friend? "Let's sell weed yo!" So Chappelle, Diaz and Breuer become "fundraisers" not drug dealers to get their friend away from the "naughty, naughty jungle of love". There are so many funny lines from this movie that I cannot even recall them all but definitely one of the best scenes is when Chappelle dresses up as Mr. Nice Guy and goes to see Sampson. "What part of Jamaica are you from?" Chappelle answers "Right near the beeeech...lord have mercy". Half Baked is pee your pants funny and without a doubt worth owning on dvd. It is one of the funniest movies of the past 15 years. Highest Recommendation. P.S. "Yo they were doin' karate man, they had nun-chucks, they be doin' indian burns man, i'm serious". Enjoy!
