Review of Half Baked (1998) by Justin O — 21 Oct 2012
I normally do not like drug humor very much but this movie does takes it to the highest level it can be done. It has several awesome lines than make it a fairly quotable movie. The success of the movie hinges on how well these three exaggerated idiot characters go together.
They are like an odd group with completely contrasting personalities but each one brings something different to the table and they are pretty funny together. Dave Chappelle, Jim Breuer and Guillermo Díaz were all great selections for their parts.
Breuer, in particular, was born to play this role. He is not the main character but steals several of the scenes. Chappelle has plenty of charisma and shows off his comedic versatility by playing two roles and narrating.
He has great delivery as the narrator and gives an overal strong performace. There is also an loose story that works well for a comedy like this. It does things the right way by establishing good framework to build funny ideas off of and lets good characters be the comedy and it works very well.
