Reviews for Half Baked
The film, in spite of any plot, is one sketch after another, some of which fall flat, some of which fall flatter.

The definitive stoner's anthem film. Chapelle is hilarious and charismatic. Great celebrity cameos help keep the uneven script afloat. (Best served fully baked).

Half-Baked wants to be a classic moronic movie, but it's just too stupid to achieve that goal.

seems half-produced, with a grainy, unattractive look and bargain-basement special-effects that ruin some good ideas. Perhaps the filmmakers blew their budget on the slew of guest stars who pop up briefly...

Riotous, even to the sober.

As far as pot comedies go, it's got just enough laughs to warrant a visit.
