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
False Advertisment If you're going to have a picture of the movie cover, then send the movie in the actual movie case. I was sent my movie in a clear plastic dvd box. Take an actual picture of the item that you're going to sell so that there is no confusion.
half baked This movie is for serious cannibis connoisseur's. Whether you support the movement or not, this is a droll of a comedy.
Funny Movie I got my movie as soon as it said I would. It was in new, perfect condition. It made a great present. It's a great funny movie.
This movie is the shiz-nittlebam snip-snap-sack! I'm not giving this movie a five star rating because it's a good movie in general. You'd have to be stoned to think it was a good movie. I mean, this movie was probably written in 2 hours, filmed in 2 days, on a budget of $500, most of which went to cheetos and orange fizzy drink. Ironically, that's probably what it takes to make a hilarious stoner movie, which is exactly what 'half-baked' is.
You probably have to be, or have been at one time, a weed smoker to fully comprehend why this movie is funny. I may or may not have indulged a little myself once, so I may or may not have found this movie absolutely laugh out loud hilarious. For the non weed-smokers, (myself included, of course) there's still plenty of funny non-drug related comedy to keep you (us) entertained. However, don't believe all of the stuff you see these guys doing when high. Pot does not make you (so I've been told) feel like you can fly around.
This film features some great physical comedy (You just have to see Dave's reaction when he picks up the Marijuana brick for the scientist) some oft repeated lines ('he had sex with my momma! Why?') and a host of cameos (Jon Stewart, Bob Saget, Willie Nelson, Stephen Balwin, to name a few). Half-Baked is a light-hearted piece of stoner theater that won't really offend anyone outside of the hardcore anti-drug crowd. The cheetos await...
