    The Observer won't let me get stoned before a review, so I'll never know what How High would be like after a big fat blunt. Without one, it's sloppy, broadly funny in spots and chaotic. Read full review

    New York Post | Lou Lumenick

    This mess was directed with no skill whatsoever by Jesse Dylan, whose father, Bob, once urged us all to get stoned. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Bob Graham

    Doesn't look like a movie somebody made. It looks like a movie somebody hallucinated and put up on the screen. Read full review
