Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

not medicinal,
Ce commentaire est de: Half Baked (Widescreen) (DVD)
A few months back I ventured out to the local video store after a hard day at school. "Hmm," I thought. "Half-Baked...this looks good." After all, I doubt that Jim Brewer would be involved unless it was a class operation. "I'll take it."A more unwise choice I could not have made my friends. Aside from a few, if you can believe it, pot jokes, the movie simply falls flat on its face. There was one particulary entertaining part where Harlan Williams unknowingly feeds a diabetic horse enough junk food to kill, well, a horse, but beyond that it was just an incessant torrent of cheap jokes aimed at your average pot-smoking high school sophomore. As a side note directed toward the aforementioned high-schooler: I recommend taking the advice of John Stewart's character (the "ever done this...on weed?" guy) because otherwise you will undoubtedly realize what an incredibly ill-begotten film this really was. I will give Tommy Chong credit for his cameo, however. It's good to see that Mr. Chong has managed to shed his image as a low-life pothead and resurrect his once flailing career. He's come a long way really. Take for example his role in Tin Cup. When he told Kevin Costner that this was their last ball on the 18th faiway of the US Open, I was truly moved. Inspired even. Mr. Chong, I salute you and your craft sir. As for Half-Baked, please avoid this one. But if you must watch it, and I recommend against it, please take one message away from it. Pot kills brain cells kids. It's not hair, they don't grow back. And if you're bald, ignore the first part.

Half Baked has to be one of the funniest movies around. Even if you are not a weed smoker, you can enjoy this movie. I think the big misconception here is that one must be a pot smoker to enjoy this movie and it is not true. The movie is about 3 friends trying to raise bail money for their friend who was arrested for feeding a diabetic police horse junk food which resulted in the horse dying. That right there is reason enough to see this movie. The characters are great and there are so many funny scenes in this movie. It's a must see...and if you still have doubts, watch the movie just to see the scene where Bob Saget (The dorky dad from Full House) says "I used to suck d*ck for coke."

Very, very funny movie. Contrary to what has been written, you dont need to be stoned to watch it - just dont take it seriously.Basic plot is four guys get stoned and Kenny has to go get food. On the way out of the grocery store he sees a horse and feeds it all his food. The horse turns out to be a diabetic police horse. The food he feeds him kills the horse and Kenny (mr nice guy) goes to jail for killing a cop!!! The three other guys have to raise money to get him out of jail and ending up dealing weed to get him out. how original is that?!! the cameos are brilliant in this. Look out for (normally straight-edge) Bob Sagat off Full House playing a coke-addict at a Drug-rehab meeting. His line is classic and understandably he didnt want to be noted in the credits for his appearance. GOLD!!
