About
You’ll likely enjoy Half Baked if you want a lighthearted stoner comedy and don’t mind outrageous plans; Not for you if you dislike weed-themed humor or need a serious, tightly written story.
Pros: laugh-out-loud stoner comedy; memorable jokes; lots of cameos | Cons: not for sober viewers; uneven humor; some unlikable bits
