Product Description
Product Description
Two of music's hottest multi-platinum recording superstars, Method Man and Redman, team up in this outrageous hit that Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times hails, "A Raunchy Good-Natured Comedy!" Silas (Method Man) and Jamal (Redman) are slackers with a talent for botany (and booty) and a knack for staying far away from school. Against all odds, both ace a college entrance exam and end up being accepted into Harvard, where they turn the school upside down in their pursuit of parties, honeys and outrageous hi-jinks!

Grab your favorite munchies, kids. Red and Meth, that dope-addled dynamic duo, are going to Harvard! And while it's not an episode of Masterpiece Theatre, 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 while slinging slang and driving 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 humor. Red and Meth, a.k.a. 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 plasticine directing. --Rebecca Levine

- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019I haven't listened to much rap music since the 1980's so I really didn't know who Method Man and Redman are, but that really didn't make a difference after my husband and I started watching this film on a satellite TV channel. We did not, I repeat, did not stop laughing. Stoned stories, of which I have a few from my youth, are always hilarious and this film takes that premise to a super-elevated (high) level. Method Man's character Silas takes a scientific approach to cultivating his herb, and his mother keeps hounding him to take the college entrance exams. His friend Ivory does too, since Silas is a talented amateur botanist and Ivory thinks he should get an education and get a degree for his abilities. Sadly, Ivory dies early in the story and Silas honors him by using his friend's ashes to fertilize a new strain of cannabis he's developed. He goes to take the exams and smokes up before to take the edge off his nerves. He sees another fellow (Redman) doing the same thing. They realize they are kindred spirits, share a joint of the special weed together, and start taking the exams. The spirit of Ivory appears to them, tells them his spirit is called upon whenever the weed is smoked, sort of like a genie, and proceeds to tell them all of the correct answers on the exams. They ace the tests, and all the Ivy League colleges in the U.S. want them at their institutions since the push is on to accept students of color and these two happen to be, apparently, bona fide geniuses. So that's the set up. I'll say very little more since I refuse to be a spoiler. The bad guys in this film are the richy-rich elites of all races who refuse to accept the fact that a couple of guys from the ghetto are accepted for their smarts and money does not win. If I say anything else, it takes away from the awesome, screamingly hilarious situations that occur one after the other. It's the surprises that make this film work. I'd say if the filmmakers were inspired by anyone, it's Mel Brooks, Adam Sandler and of course Cheech and Chong. And since I stopped using marijuana quite a while ago, I don't know if it's better to see this movie stoned or straight. I'd say, see it straight first, then see it stoned. I think that would work OK.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2007One of the better Stoner Comedies of this generation. Of course it doesn't top Half-Baked (What will?) it certainly vies for second place. Cheech and Chong will always be the godfathers of dope comedy, but every generation needs treasures to call their own. If you don't already know what this movie is about; Two stoners, Jamal and Silas, meet before taking the THC's (Test for Higher Credentials) and smoke the ashes of Silas' former buddy which brings him back from the dead so he can help them get high scores. With perfect scores they can choose any college to transfer to and for some reason they choose Harvard. But no matter where Red and Meth are, you know they are going to be themselves. As soon as they step foot on campus the dean is on their case, as well as a volunteer safety officer and their nerdy roomate. But they manage to skake things up, and even find some cuties to share a spliff with. Overall a great movie worth viewing again and again. All of the cast is outstanding and well casted.
