    There is one BIG problem wit this film!!

    The problem with this film is Mike Epps!! I gave up tryin to watch the end of this film because i was laughin so much, and i blame all this on the comedy genius that is Mike Epps!! When i eventually managed to calm down to watch the ending i actually found out that this is a really great movie!! Stop reading and get a hold of this movie.....go on......go!!!

    simply an aimless plot!

    The directors attemt to create a hallucinogenic effect left me wondering if there was actuley a point to the film, where this effect has been created it if done so most cruedly. At the end of the film i could'nt even name one of the characters. Please dont waste your time, one and a half hours has never passed so slowly!

    No Story, no Funny

    I love black comedy films and actors but this lets everyone down. It's awful. The story line is pathitic, and it's the usualy gags, white people stuck up losers and all virgins and black guys just take this piss out of anyone (but not in a funny way) and make out every black american i a pot lover, nothing you ain seem a million times before. Very disapointed.

    Rated - 2 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    could have been great but...

    Methodman and Redman go to Harvard University. That’s really all you need to know. There’s not much of a plot to speak of, it’s just ‘fish out of water’ pot heads teach some straight folk to loosen up. This genre has a great tradition, ‘Animal House’, ‘Porkys’, but ‘How High’, though it has its moments, is really not funny enough. Has some outtakes at the end credits which are pretty good and strangely, for this type of film, there’s a distinct lack of gratuitous breast shots. Depending on your point of view, this is either progressive or disappointing.
