Since he'll lose his college scholarship if he fails the drug test, Henry forms a half-baked plan. He teams up with his stoner pal Breaux (Sean Marquette) to steal some prime weed from a drug dealer named Psycho Ed (Adrien Brody), and uses it to spike the brownies intended for the school's bake sale.

HIGH School isn't exactly Harold and Kumar-level genius, but it is worth the legal risk.

A stoner comedy with a slightly musty vintage aroma.

It's "high time" for High School! Don't graduate past the weekend without seeing the most hilarious high school hijinks ever!

High School definitely won't be everyone's flavor of pot comedy, but it's certainly a fun trip and a clever spin on the genre.

Rated: 7/10

Surprisingly solid and funny... It's rare for a stoner comedy to have so much ambition.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I was extremely disappointed in this film. I turned it off after 35 minutes. The idea for the story sounded really good; the story goes nowhere. The acting is dull and unconvincing. This could have been fun to watch, but wasn't.

This movie sucked ass in comedy, just everything of its film was not even remotely funny. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. Do yourself a favor don't watch it okay.
