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.

That's when they have to start living by their wits and rely on their natural resources to make the grade.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Anybody who likes Red & Meth has an idea of how great they work together on albums. This is an opportunity for us to see their co-existence on the big screen! The friendship they have in the real world is wonderfully portrayed when they become friends in this movie. Anyone who says this has been done before in movies like the "Friday" series, have no clue what either movie was about. I feel this movie is Half-Baked meets Animal House! As far as a moral theme, they touched on the discrimination of high class toward the lower class. The preppy captain of the rowing team, the Dean of the school both looked down on these two from lower class families. Yes, the main characters were able to get to Harvard by cheating, but when Silas put his mind to work, he made a great botanist. No matter where we come from in life, we all have the ability to great things. When we have people who believe in & support us, we excel greatly!

I can enjoy some silly stoner movies, when they're done right without taking it too serious in all, but in this case this movie fails. Its not that bad but not really that great either. And people compare this to Friday, but Friday is much better. Now, it seems like a pretty funny and original idea but the direction went off. The movie was pretty watchable, good and funny in its 1st half, but towards the middle and going to the end, it got boring and I lost interest. The first half was good because Method Man (Silas) & Redman (Jamal) weer the main focus, they were funny and they were interacting with each other. They were both great in this, especially Method Man, his character was funny and smart. Towards the middle, there were more subplots and characters (Mike Epps) that randomly came in. It would have been better had they made some connections to Mike Epps character with Method or Redman and introduced him in the beginning. Also towards the end they focused more on the other characters somewhat, and it lost the same energy. It was basically from the Halloween party scene- IMO that dragged on too long. Though many people liked this movie for what it is. It could have been better but also could have been worse

For everyone who doesn't like movies about weed,stop reading this is not your movie. Some non pod smokers will think the movie is OK. But this is the 'CULT' movie of smoking weed. From the 1st scene till the last scene,this movie does not stop. There are none not funny scenes to built up the story. You could see is as one funny sketch after the other. The story basically is a guy Silas, who grows weed,and one day his friend dies. He puts his ash in his next plant,that he names after him(The Ivory,still want to smoke that one day). He meets another pod head at THC's(test for higher learning) and with the help of Ivory they get the highest score. And they choose the Ivy League atmosphere of Harvard. They turn Harvard up side down. You have to smoke one before you watch this movie,it's still funny if you don't,but its meant to be seen stoned!!!! I've seen this movie about 20 times,and I'm from the country where the realest smokers be(Holland) and we all dig this movie,you HEARD,this is the smokers bible!!!! What are you doing get some grass and watch this movie!!!

Two guys hook up just before taking a test for admission to college. One Has his mother in his neck the other is an urbal scientist. They end up in an ivy league school. Here they turn everything upside down and show an alternative way to graduation. It's a great movie. The type where you just sit back and enjoy. Great humor runs through the entire film (no wonder with Redman and Method Man, and Danny de Vito as a producer) You don't have to constantly think about whats gonna happen or like thrillers "who's the killer etc.". The movie is simple and just out for some laughs kind of like "Half Baked" with Dave Chapelle. Besides, it's great for treatin' a hangover...
