When a member of their crew gets arrested for killing a New York City police horse by feeding it junk food, three slackin' stoners are forced to get off their butts and raise bail by selling pot stolen from a pharmaceutical lab. It's a risky plan but, hey, these are stand-up guys who would do anything to help out a friend in need.

Critics Consensus

You'd have to be high to dig Half Baked's half baked production and scattershot sense of humor -- although maybe that was the point of this Dave Chapelle-led joint.

Though billed as Cheech & Chong of the '90s, this movie is not funny.

This is one of those movies that can be watched 20 years later and still be funny. If you're looking for laughs, this is it!

I love Dave Chappelle!! This movie is goofy, but that's what it's meant to be. Dave is an intellectual genius! If you want to laugh and have a feel for what the nineties felt like this is a movie too do it for yah!!

Movie was good and had very good 4th wall breaks

The hilarious Dave Chapelle is accidentally cast in a role clearly meant for Rob Schneider, and struggles to carry the movie along with him, but ultimately fails, proving once and for all that you can not season a turd to perfection.

Cult stoner favorite directed by Tamra Davis; sophomoric to the max.
