Enough low-grade laughs to entertain significantly more than some of the more prestigious year-end releases.

Like Ice Cube's "Friday," How High probably will survive as an underground classic, until it's pushed further underground and forgotten by the next disposable "cult classic" to hit video.

Another one of my favorite movies. Doesn't matter if high, sober, or drunk. This movie is hilarious.

una de las mejores películas de consumo que he visto, representada por grandes exponentes del hip-hop.

There is something fun about a movie that so brazenly portrays excessive pot smoking.

The biggest problem, ironically, is that even though the plot and the action center on smoking pot, it's not enough of a stoner flick. The concept of getting stoned isn't amusing; watching stoned people is.

Too lazy to be a comedy, too conventional to be a head movie.

While How High could have been a fun comedy college students could watch over and over again, it instead plays like a bad USA movie of the week. The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't fully developed and poor editing only makes a humorless story confusing.

Just when it looked like "Not Another Teen Movie" might claim the crap crown comes this stoner's tale.

This movie show kids in areas that have the critics and users on this page wouldn't go to. They too can get into an IVY LEAGUE college. Yes did they get in on an unconventional way. Yes they did. When the smoke ran out they had to rely on their own minds and knowledge. This movie also showed that a person might look as if they are of a certain group doesn't mean their brain is not working as a person that wears three piece suits.

THE greatest stoner movie of all time. Want a experience you'll always remember? Get a 10 bag, invite your best buddy over, get some drink and food and sit back and just laugh at absolutely everything. Brilliant film!

The story and the editing may be kind of bland, confusing, and stupid, but it's still the worth to laugh a lot!

When I was a young'n I was in love with this movie. Now that I am older, I realize how stupid it really is. But it's just stupid enough to keep you intrigued.
