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

There's a spirit of generosity to How High that allows many performers to shine beyond its sharp and amiable stars.

Enough cheery mockery to amuse even non-tokers.

Dylan's stoner comedy barely manages to string together a story, but lucky for him, his two stars radiate charisma even when they're hidden behind clouds of smoke.

The Observer won't let me get stoned before a review, so I'll never know what How High would be like after a big fat blunt. Without one, it's sloppy, broadly funny in spots and chaotic.

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.

It's a good thing the two rappers are such utterly natural actors, armed with terrific comic timing.

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

A genially haphazard but frequently amusing neo-stoner comedy that plays like "Cheech and Chong Go to Animal House."

How High is not a particularly good movie, but then again it's not trying to be. It's a project by two B-list rappers seeking to extend their music careers in the way of stars like Will Smith, Ice Cube and Tupac Shakur.
