Yet another weed-movie. And I like those, having loved weed in my younger years. Basically, Method Man and Redman have to take their SATs, and they meet spontaneously right in the parking lot. They roll up a blunt, and smoke it. However, this is no ordinary weed. Method Man grew this weed with the ashes of his dead friend "Ivory". As they are smoking, Ivory's ghost appears in the back seat. Turns out, he knows all the answers to everything, and he gets them both a perfect score, which lands them in Harvard. Many hilarious antics follow.
This movie accomplishes perfectly what it is meant to accomplish. It makes me laugh. Sure, its silly, sure, its "stupid", there's not much thinking involved, but its a comedy! And a great one. The way that Red and Meth are so out of place at Harvard is hilarious. Bart, one of the "villains" is one of the funniest, corniest characters I have ever seen. The dean is hilarious as well. And the part where they dig up the dead president is just plain nasty.
The only reason I gave this movie a 7 and not higher is the ending. The movie doesn't really end, it just sort of abruptly "stops". After watching the commentary, I found out that the reason for this was because they didn't really HAVE an ending. They were just sort of floating along and seeing what happens from the ball-scene on. Which explains the abrupt ending. Overall, if you want to have some simple-minded fun, and if you are in the mood to laugh, watch this movie.
