Critic Reviews

Mike Clark

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

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Enough cheery mockery to amuse even non-tokers. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

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. Read full review

Joan Anderman

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.

Jessica Winter

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

Bob Graham

Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

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

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.

Pure, unmitigated crap. If you actually find any of this funny then you are so simple minded you may well be retarded. You'd have to be on crack, never mind weed, to even force a smile at any part of this painfully unfunny disaster of a comedy movie. It starts off bad, and actually Pure, unmitigated crap.
