Synopsis
Multi-platinum rap superstars Redman and Method Man star as Jamal and Silas, two regular guys who smoke something magical, ace their college entrance exams and wind up at Harvard. Ivy League ways are strange but Silas and Jamal take it in a stride -- until their supply of supernatural smoke runs dry. That's when they have to start living by their wits and rely on their natural resources to make the grade.

There's a spirit of generosity to How High that allows many performers to shine beyond its sharp and amiable stars. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
It's a good thing the two rappers are such utterly natural actors, armed with terrific comic timing. - 40
L.A. Weekly
There is something fun about a movie that so brazenly portrays excessive pot smoking. - 38
Miami Herald
How High is not a particularly good movie, but then again it's not trying to be. It's a project by two B-list rappers seeking to extend their music careers in the way of stars like Will Smith, Ice Cube and Tupac Shakur. - 30
Village Voice
Too lazy to be a comedy, too conventional to be a head movie. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen. - 25
New York Post
This mess was directed with no skill whatsoever by Jesse Dylan, whose father, Bob, once urged us all to get stoned. - 20
Washington Post
The drug-fueled romp turns ugly, sexist and misogynistic, as so many rap-star vehicles do.
