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.

A hilariously subversive comedy produced by Robert Simonds (Happy Gilmore) and directed by Tamra Davis (CB-4), Half Baked stars four of today's hottest young comics: Dave Chappelle (The Nutty Professor), who co-wrote the screenplay; Guillermo Diaz (Girls Town); Jim Breuer (Saturday Night Live) and Harland Williams (Rocket Man).

Politically incorrect at every turn, Half Baked has all the ingredients of classic, toked-out cinema: bad language, smoking and inhaling controlled substances, tasteless humor, dimwitted young men, gratuitous nudity, celebrity cameos and questionable methods of raising large sums of cash quickly. It's a recipe that will appeal to audiences beyond the short-term memory impaired.

MOVIE REVIEW

"Half-Baked" is now out on DVD - again - in a new "Fully Baked Edition." Along with special features that include deleted scenes, a director's commentary and a few other random supplements, the DVD gave me the chance to watch this pot-smoking film for the first time.
