How High Trailers

Multi-platinum rap superstars Redman and Method Man star as Jamal and Silas, two regular guys who smoke something magical, ace their college entrance exams and wind up at Harvard. Ivy League ways are strange but Silas and Jamal take it in a stride -- until their supply of supernatural smoke runs dry. That's when they have to start living by their wits and rely on their natural resources to make the grade.

Reviews
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
ac_away I understand the fact that everyone has got their own taste when it comes to a movie genre and therefore some might feel that a "comedy" is based on a particular set of principles, essentially going into humour. But there are different ways in which many people perceive humour, some believe it's all about the jokes, some enjoy the swearing involved and others might love the typical Woody Allen script.This movie isn't set to achieve an Oscar or any kind of prestigious award. I am pretty sure that that was the last thing that came through the writer's and director's minds. The only thing they intended to do was to make a film that could be enjoyed by the audience that loves the stereo-typing comedy films, which to be honest is growing faster and faster. And they nailed it.The story is hilarious, the acting, well method and redman are hilarious at what they do best, which is fool around. Don't expect any intelligent sophisticated humour or satire. I'm not implying that the movie is full of dumb humour, on the contrary, its loaded with brilliant funny situations and loads of jokes. If you liked soul plane, then you're going to love this one.So don't vote negatively just because it wasn't your cup of tea and try to understand that there's a different generation out there that really appreciates a good fun entertaining movie to watch as they also appreciate the other styles of "comedy".
Masquerade_Ball ...this movie is not. I'm actually watching this movie right now, a painful scene where a Harvard university student's bicycle is stolen and smashed by our nice stars, Jamal & Silas.The movie kicks off with a load of racial stereo types jokes, the obnoxious rich white kids in the rowing team, the "down with it" stoner characters.But I digress, this is obviously a stoner flick, if you're after a high school comedy try... well just about anything else. If like stoner movies and you want to spend an hour and a half watching two rappers harassing the annoying Bart, while flirting with every chick on the campus, then this will sit well with your expectations.If you like movies with true humour, which don't make you feel dumber after watching it, then you would be well advised to avoid this movie. I could back up my view that this is a bad movie, but that would require me sitting through more of this "Police Academy on Pot" movie. (switches movie off).
ladygee2001 Well, as much as I love hip hop and Redman as a hip hop artist, this move simply stinks, pun intended. Its all about glorifying drugs and I am completely at a loss as to how this was allowed to be released at all. And what is up with constant swearing? You'd think a rapper would know more words then that and be able to express himself in more ways then one! Comedy? Now "House party" was a comedy. This ain't. Stopped the tape after giving it a very very long 20 minutes.So, unless you are into the same ..erm..."hobbies" as these two...don't waste your money. Zero out of ten.
amrfaris252 How High... What can I say about this movie...This movie is the best movie i have ever seen in my whole life... I watched it more than 50 times and every time I watch it, I find more and more jokes until by now i almost memorized the movie word by word... its really hard to understand every single joke from the first time you watch it.. But trust me... You will going to laugh insanely, like you never did before.. So if you didn't watch this movie till now you better go buy it or download it immediately and you will know that every word i said bout this movie is true!!
