When a member of their crew gets arrested for killing a New York City police horse by feeding it junk food, three slackin' stoners are forced to get off their butts and raise bail by selling pot stolen from a pharmaceutical lab. It's a risky plan but, hey, these are stand-up guys who would do anything to help out a friend in need.

Critics Consensus

You'd have to be high to dig Half Baked's half baked production and scattershot sense of humor -- although maybe that was the point of this Dave Chapelle-led joint.

Though billed as Cheech & Chong of the '90s, this movie is not funny.

This movie is incredibly hilarious from start to finish. All the cameos add even more fun. What's note hilarious then Danny Tanner talking about what he did for his addiction!! Even the kid versions of the main characters not only look like the characters but mastered their demeanor and their coordination too. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie, it never gets old.

Only a half dozen comical moments or less in the whole movie Overall pretty silly, juvenile behavior in a comedy that would probably be easier to take if you were half baked. Jim Breurs' character is probably one of the most annoying I've seen in a very long time. Pass this by unless you have absolutely nothing to do late at night.

This is one of the best stoner movies ever made. They need to do a modern version with the original actors

This is an underrated gem! You don't even have to be a stoner to enjoy it. The cast is awesome and the comedy hilarious. I believe Dave Chappelle once said he's kinda of ashamed of this film. I believe the critics may have got to him. But they are wrong half the time. "Half Baked" is a goofy comedy and it won't be for everyone as the sense of humor has a narrow appeal. But if you get it, you will thoroughly enjoy it. Rating: 8/10
