Half Baked

DIRECTED BY: Tamra Davis

REVIEWED: 01-26-98

Why would anyone make a movie about drug-addled losers in the nineties? I mean, Cheech and Chong were killed by an angry mob in 1984 for a reason. Watching people pretend to act stoned is not exactly my idea of a good time, but there were some brief and amusing cameos. Janeanne Garofalo's three-minute sequence is a gem; and oddly enough, Bob Saget, who only has three lines, is sort of fabulous, mostly by playing against type. Still, the whole thing can basically be explained by switching a couple of nouns in the old joke, "What did the Deadhead say when the drugs wore off? Hey, this music really sucks!"
