Review of How High (2001) by Chris F — 19 Dec 2011

I've seen this movie 10 times or so now, and it keeps getting better. This is Van Wilder meets Halfbaked - but, even funnier! Sylis and Jamal meet up accidentally, because they're both taking the THC's (Testing for Higher Credentials) test to get into a college.

Jamal because he doesn't wanna be a failure anymore, and Sylis, because he's a kick ass botanist, especially when it comes to pot. A freak accident involving Sylis's friend, Ivory, kills him, and Sylis is left to smoke his ashes.

So, when jamal and sylis meet up, they blaze up a joint with ivory's plant made with the ashes, and ivory comes back in ghost form to help them get in to college and pass the test. However, once they get into Harvard - things take a turn for the worst.

The dean hates them, Jamal has issues with Bart - and, so does sylis, and the dean wants them gone. That plan almost comes to fruition when the "Volunteer cop" takes the Ivory plant, and smokes it all to his head - leaving Jamal and Sylis without any help.

However, Sylis has a trick up his sleeve, and knows that if he gets his A in Botany, then, he'll be able to stay. That trick involves a truth serum he's been working on, and a party involving the Vice president.

This movie is hilarious, and a must own for people who are fans of Halfbaked or cheech and chong. The funniest part involves a graveyard, and the digging up of a dead body. And, let's not forget Jamal's fantasy with his teacher.
