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.

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
