Leave your thoughts about Half Baked.
| F5 (Wichita, KS)Jake EukerWinningly stupid comedy, with the emphasis on stupid. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorI kind of liked this slow, stoner comedy. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithSo funny! "But I'm Cuban, B." "YES, Cuban B!" |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe plot is simply an excuse for a string of good-natured dope jokes (come on -- you have to love that their hookah is called Billy Bong Thornton) and goofy sight gags inspired by everything from Jerry Garcia to Jerry Maguire, most of which are undoubtedly funniest if you're eight miles high. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairHalf-Baked wants to be a classic moronic movie, but it's just too stupid to achieve that goal. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThe humor in this movie is basically anthropological notes on doper culture and behavior: junk-food frenzies, smoking rituals and hardware, non sequitur conversation, and short-term memory loss. In other words, stuff that passed into the realm of cliché back in the time of the Johnson administration. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe main problem, however, is Tamra Davis' leaden direction, which prevents Half-Baked from developing comic momentum. There are a few scattered laughs. |
| Entertainment WeeklyMichael SauterSitting on your couch watching these morons sit on their couch and get wasted is like being the only straight guest at a pot party. Everyone else is laughing, and you're left wondering why. |
| VarietyBrendan KellyA couple of hash brownies short of a satisfying cinematic picnic, with far too few comic highs during the bigscreen reefer party. |
| Film ThreatRon WellsThe title refers to your expected condition when you see this movie. Oh well. It'll be HUGE on video. |
