Amazon.co.uk Review
Grab your favourite munchies: Red and Meth, that dope-addled dynamic duo, are going to Harvard. And while it's not exactly demanding viewing, How High is destined to become a guilty pleasure of the cannabis crowd. The plot's a familiar one--take the basic selling points of any Cheech & Chong movie (a pair of shambolic protagonists who smoke lots of weed and drive funky 70s-style cars), graft them onto a generic "raising hell on campus" teen movie scenario and shake vigorously. The result is a prosaic effort that does contain some all-too-brief moments of genuine humour. Red and Meth, aka Redman and Method Man, may look like the world's oldest freshmen, but both offer genial performances, especially Method Man, who imbues the character of Silas with a dog-eared gentleness that raises him above the film's leaden script and plastic directing. --Rebecca Levine

Synopsis
HOW HIGH is a raucous comedy about two underachieving potheads from the projects, Cyrus and Jamal (rappers Method Man and Redman), who, through bizarre circumstances, end up attending Harvard University. It all begins when Cyrus' friend Ivory dies, and Cyrus uses his ashes as fertilizer to grow marijuana. When the two are taking their college entrance exams, Jamal explains his philosophy: "Study high. Take the test high. Get high scores." Smoking Cyrus' magical weed somehow summons the ghost of the brainy Ivory, who gives them all the answers to the exam. They are recruited by Chancellor Huntley (Fred Willard) to attend Harvard, where they use the weed to continue their academic success, but thanks to the machinations of the uptight Dean Cain (Obba Babatunde), they soon find themselves without Ivory's help, and are forced to maintain their scholarship grades on their own. The plot reaches its peak of comic ludicrousness when the hapless duo attempts to dig up and smoke the remains of John Quincy Adams. HOW HIGH features Mike Epps, Tracy Morgan, and Spalding Gray in supporting roles. The film is scabrously funny and refreshingly free of logic, reason, and political correctness.

How High
Brilliant. Deserves to be considered a classic. Truly a work of genius...

One of the funniest, off the wall-best value comedies you will see. Right from the start the pace is relentless with great gags and one liners, all suprisingly well delivered by Methodman and Redman. You don't have to be a smoker to enjoy this movie, as it's great fun with brilliant characters, particularly the Chinese homeboy wannabee. I watched this film not knowing what to expect and was delighted with it.

Highly recommended. Buy it.

Stupid, predictable and utterly tasteless...loved it!
I've read a lot of negative reviews for How High all over the internet.

Well, ignore them, cos' How High is funny most of the time and hilarious in places. The chemistry between Meth and Redman is perfect for the flick and the supporting cast is superb.

It's a feel-good tasteless comedy that does exactly what it says on the tin, but if you're a fan of the duo or just a weed-smoker, this is essential viewing.
