A trio of bong-loving buddies hatch a pot-laced plan to spring the fourth member of their smokers' circle out of the Big House, where he languishes after accidentally killing a diabetic police horse. The cinematic equivalent of aerosol cheese, featuring a bevy of buzz-friendly cameos (such as Bob Saget, as a rehabbing cokehead, and the Father of Them All, Tommy Chong). [More]

The definitive stoner's anthem film. Chapelle is hilarious and charismatic. Great celebrity cameos help keep the uneven script afloat. (Best served fully baked).

Winningly stupid comedy, with the emphasis on stupid.

As far as pot comedies go, it's got just enough laughs to warrant a visit.

The film, in spite of any plot, is one sketch after another, some of which fall flat, some of which fall flatter.

Half-Baked wants to be a classic moronic movie, but it's just too stupid to achieve that goal.

seems half-produced, with a grainy, unattractive look and bargain-basement special-effects that ruin some good ideas. Perhaps the filmmakers blew their budget on the slew of guest stars who pop up briefly...

The filmmakers forgot to come up with more than one joke, and the one that they do have isn't very funny.
