"How High" is my new definition of Insanely Terrible. After loving so many fun black/pot movies like "Half Baked" and "Friday", it seemed we would be destined that something like this would come and take all of my faith in humanity away.
"How High" is essentially three things: 1, it's a stereotypical black pot movie, starring Methodman and Redman as two stoner retards who, through smoking their death friend Ivory, get into Harvard and then cause havok. 2, it's a film that tries to offend everyone, much like better films South Park: BLU and Freddy Got Fingered. And 3, it's an absolute atrocity of a film, a totally worthless bit of junk that not even toddlers could enjoy.
The film's biggest problem seems to be that it can't find its sense of humor - this is because it has none. It's all about smoking weed, bangin' hoes, destroying stuff and smoking weed. And also bangin' hoes. Trying to take the "offend everyone" path, it falls painfully short: while it includes major anti-white racist jokes (which aren't funny) and also abuses every other subculture and pop subculture EXCEPT Blacks - none of which is at all amusing - it then misses all of the actual opportunties to poke offensive fun, like the Women's Studies scene which is just immature instead of offensively funny. It's bland, appalling crap. The only scene which is clever is when the two losers decide to dig up a corpse to smoke, in which the film almost reaches it's aim - but it still falls flat, while basically any of the audience who hasn't gone outside to throw up is still left unamused.
Redman and Methodman are terrible at acting and should never be allowed near a camera again. Scratch that - they should never be allowed in public again. While proving that their acting is (amazingly)worse than their rapping, they stand around looking stupid with a bunch of other acting rejects who can't use what little material there is in this stupidity to make a laugh. The final word on this heinous monstrocity is to avoid at all cost. How's this for comparison - we watched both this film and a Leslie Nielson hunk'o'junk called 2001: A Space Travesty - a film which was barely about space AND featured a parrot in soup - and the Space Travesty was better. Avoid at all costs.

This is one of the most interesting films I have ever seen.
It was originally marketted to us as a softcore pornograpy film with some well known actors (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Whitherspoon, Ryan Phillipe), and for this reason so many reviews for it are bad; as they come from disappointed teenagers who just wanted to see sex and nudity.
However, this film has so much more.
In a game of seduction, Sebastion is a top player. Any girl and every girl he wants, he has. But his stepsister has discovered a challenge, and a bet is made; to take the virginity of young, prosperous girl who believes that "one should be in love before they experience the act of love."
But things take a vicious turn as Sebastian falls in love, and can't comprehend the consequences.
I highly recommend it.

What could have been so, so good is wasted in this special fx overblown gorefest. (Where I live, in looneyland, we would describe this movie as "horse".) A bunch of sharks get smart and go on a rampage. Such a vibrant, original storyline (bulls***!), containing only one likable character who gets chomped in half viciously for no reason. And all the other poor bastards who get cruelly killed pointlessly. This is the sort of stupidity that makes me want to ram a filing cabnet up the rectum of film-makers. The only saving grace of this movie would have been if a massive Godzilla sized shark had jumped from the water, swallowed the survivors and chomped the rescue planes, but no such luck in this gopher of a film. In my opinion, they should rename this to "Deep Blue Dugong" and make it a porno. Good luck!
