Silas (Method Man) and Jamal (Redman) are two slackers with a talent for botany (and booty) and a knack for staying far away from school. Against all odds, both ace a college entrance exam and end up being accepted at Harvard, where they turn the school upside down in the pursuit of parties, honeys and outrageous hi-jinks.
"Redman and Method Man bring a natural sense of timing and genuine chemistry to the party!" Joan Anderman, Boston Globe
"The two rap stars are also ace movie comedians!" Dennis Hunt, San Diego Union-Tribune
"Genuinely funny!" Claire Bickley, Toronto Star
"A raunchy, good-natured comedy!" Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Editor's Note
HOW HIGH is a raucous comedy about two underachieving potheads from the projects, Cyrus and Jamal (rappers Method Man and Redman), who, through bizarre circumstances, end up attending Harvard University. It all begins when Cyrus' friend Ivory dies, and Cyrus uses his ashes as fertilizer to grow marijuana. When the two are taking their college entrance exams, Jamal explains his philosophy: Study high. Take the test high. Get high scores. Smoking Cyrus' magical weed somehow summons the ghost of the brainy Ivory, who gives them all the answers to the exam. They are recruited by Chancellor Huntley (Fred Willard) to attend Harvard, where they use the weed to continue their academic success, but thanks to the machinations of the uptight Dean Cain (Obba Babatunde), they soon find themselves without Ivory's help, and are forced to maintain their scholarship grades on their own. The plot reaches its peak of comic ludicrousness when the hapless duo attempts to dig up and smoke the remains of John Quincy Adams. HOW HIGH features Mike Epps, Tracy Morgan, and Spalding Gray in supporting roles. The film is scabrously funny and refreshingly free of logic, reason, and political correctness.
