How High

2001 · 93 min

A silly, good-natured stoner comedy that coasts on goofy gags and the easy chemistry of its leads.

Tagline: They've got their degrees all rolled up.
Overview: Jamal and Silas, two ordinary guys who smoke something magical, pass their college entrance exams with flying colors and end up at Harvard. Ivy League ways are strange but Silas and Jamal take it in a stride -- until their supply of supernatural smoke runs dry. That's when they have to start living by their wits and rely on their natural resources to make the grade.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, class, identity, race
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
