Half Baked (Widescreen Special Edition)

Just say yes to this smokingly silly comedy about four wigged-out slackers (Jim Breuer, Dave Chappelle, Guillermo Diaz, Harland Williams) whose lives revolve around pot. When Williams accidentally kills a police horse by feeding it junk food, his "buds" must cultivate a scheme to raise bail money. Tommy Chong, Janeane Garofalo, Willie Nelson and Snoop Doggy Dogg are among the cameos in this wacky reefer romp. 83 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: Spanish, French; alternate ending; deleted scenes; featurettes; audio commentary.

Cannabis comedy doesn't get more juvenile than this pro-pot goof about three stoners who come to the rescue of a fourth buddy when he's arrested for feeding a lethal dose of junk food to a diabetic police horse. Kenny (Harland Williams) is sent to jail, and to rescue him from the almost inevitable trauma of homosexual rape (giving you some idea of this movie's level of humor), his buddies set out to raise his $100,000 bail by selling high-grade weed ripped off from a pharmaceutical research lab. That's about it for the plot; the rest of the movie's a parade of marijuana jokes and amusing pot-friendly cameos by the likes of Snoop Dog, Willie Nelson, and Janeane Garofalo. As two of the bong-hitting buddies, Jim Breuer (from Saturday Night Live) and comedian Dave Chappelle do their best to disguise the movie's lack of inspiration. But no matter how hard they try to milk laughs from the one-joke premise, they can't stop the movie's title from being an apt description of the movie itself. --Jeff Shannon
