It's obvious why this movie was dedicated to stoners -- you'd have to be under the influence of some sort of illegal substance to enjoy Half Baked.
Now, maybe it's because I'm not a fan of drugs, or maybe it's because I feel that Jim Breuer is one of the reasons why SNL makes me want to vomit now, but this movie did NOTHING for me at all. I mean, I appreciate and enjoy the drug-related humour of Cheech And Chong and George Carlin, but this is worthless. If I remember correctly I got one laugh out of this film, and that was the fact that 'cultural icons' like Snoop Doggy Dogg, Willie Nelson, Steven Wright and Janeane Garofalo could be involved in it. Plain and simple; I considered trying to call DirecTV to get my money back for viewing the film after I saw it.
Stoners and/or Jim Breuer fans, rent it. You'll probably love it. Otherwise, walk right past it and pick up some classic John Candy or Steve Martin (or Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy, or some Cheech And Chong if you can't abandon drug humour) instead. You'll be much happier if you do...
