Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Half Baked
A perpetually stoned group of friends become impromtu businessmen when one of their clique is unfairly imprisoned. In order to raise money to spring their friend from "the joint" (and thus prevent him from being anally deflowered) they embark on a marijuana dealing business. One main problem though, our main man has met a beautiful lady who might just be "the one"--but she's staunchly opposed to marijuana use. Chapelle's character has to hide the biz from his new girlfriend while working overtime to free his friend.
--Mary Ann, Resident Scholar

One of 4 pot-heads accidentally kills "an officer of the law"(a sensitive cop's horse). Now his friends decide to steal and sell Marijuana for bail money to save "Kenney's sweet virgin A**"(you have to watch the movie to see what the line is). This causes the attention of rival drug lord Samson.
This is a great pot-comedy, with original humor with the unaviodable pot head sterotypical characters. Has cameo appearences by Janeabe Garofalo, Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, Stephen Baldwin, Bob Saget, Jon Stewart and the original bluntman: Tommy Chong as the squirlmaster.

--Grey Culver, Resident Scholar
