Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

5.2??? I saw this film was rated 5.2 so I went to watch it expecting a pretty poor film...I WAS VERY WRONG! This film is hilarious!!Method man and Redman (suprisingly) made me laugh so much and soooo often!! Especially in the "get him" scene! It may a good movie but its definitely aimed at all you hip-hop/comedy lovers.Essence Atkins looks HOOOT too!!!GOOD MOVIE-great fun for all those wanting a movie...lacking a great story line but filled with loads of laughs.8/10 is a very fair score-give the movie a try. you'll like it

For everyone who doesn't like movies about weed,stop reading this is not your movie. Some non pod smokers will think the movie is OK. But this is the 'CULT' movie of smoking weed. From the 1st scene till the last scene,this movie does not stop. There are none not funny scenes to built up the story. You could see is as one funny sketch after the other. The story basically is a guy Silas, who grows weed,and one day his friend dies. He puts his ash in his next plant,that he names after him(The Ivory,still want to smoke that one day). He meets another pod head at THC's(test for higher learning) and with the help of Ivory they get the highest score. And they choose the Ivy League atmosphere of Harvard. They turn Harvard up side down. You have to smoke one before you watch this movie,it's still funny if you don't,but its meant to be seen stoned!!!! I've seen this movie about 20 times,and I'm from the country where the realest smokers be(Holland) and we all dig this movie,you HEARD,this is the smokers bible!!!! What are you doing get some grass and watch this movie!!!

Like many other people, I expected a stereotypical "black" movie or a "pot" movie. And sure, you have many black jokes and many pot jokes in this film, but it's done in a surprisingly intelligent way that was both funny and incredibly original. Too many drug movies are simply rehashed (pun intended) but this was not one of them.The movie has Method Man and Redman entering Harvard where they teach others to stop being so uptight. Again, it sounds over like you've seen it before, but certain things here you won't see elsewhere. Things I can't say without giving away later parts of the film. But I can say it crosses a line where if you are easily offended or are very patriotic, you might get a little steamed.The acting? Fine, for a comedy. The plot, decent. The writing, quite good. The music was surprisingly good. There was, of course, a great deal of rap music. But other kinds of music were incorporated to round the feel of the movie out. I even heard Rammstein, which would seem out of place but really wasn't.Oh, and Lark Voorhies ("Saved by the Bell") co-stars, which would make this the second greatest college film to star a SBTB alumnus (the best being "Dead Man on Campus").I would recommend this film. I went in to it expecting some horrible trash, but left with a smile on my face and a new appreciation for Method Man and Redman.

You Americans suck. P.S. I'm white. It was a great comedy. Get lives. Are we still talking about the movie? Who reads these things anyway? The cool people obviously. Seriously, check your judgmental baggage at the cinema door. Get lives, did I say that? I need ten lines to submit this. I'm inserting bullsh*t here to meet the required length. Bullsh*t: This is that song to play at them parties, where them M&Ms are Trina act like Smarties Girls drink Bacardi, guys get naughty, got so much game people calling' me sporty But I don't know, what I'm gonna do tonight bro So many ho*s, its like Mitre 10 is having one of 'em sales again Oh no, no (Female): No he didn't just call me a hoe, boy you'd better be kidding' Yes, yes, yes I did, and I ain't a kid. Plus you gotta admit you get around a bit! You more easy than it is to get queasy When looking' at you girl. Who invited Kim Beazley?
