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.

A "legalize it!" campaign film ziplocked in a bag of goofy comedy. A genuine representation of NYC life and the various attitudes toward marijuana during the 90's.

The reviews of this are downright diabolical. This movie is the best stoner film of all time. Funny as all hell from start to finish and I don't even smoke anymore
