At the start of the movie they are warning you that you can't watch this movie without being high. That part was true, and I should have listened. Though I seriously doubt that being high would help, and even if it did, why not watch an actually fun movie while being high? Twice the pleasure.

Mac and Devin go to highschool is a perfect representation of life in highschool. You have your nerds, you have your popular kids. But in the end, they all get brought together with that sticky green plant known as Marijuana. Weed brings everyone together.

God dammit. How many reviewers here watched that movie sober ? And the ones who watched it high and still didn't like, how sheepish you are to let IMDb scores dictate your enjoyment of a movie ?That was my rant, it's over now, on with the review. Why does this deserve 10 stars ? Because it's perfect in it's own extremely niche genre. First of all, do listen to Slow Burn, the animated joint who introduces the movie. I don't wanna hear anything like "but relying on intoxication of your audience is baaaad you seeee because weed makes bad movies enjoyable". This is a stoner comedy, and even more so than other stoner comedies, this one is designed from A to Z to be enjoyed high as a kite from minute one. Think of it that way : it's not a bad movie who becomes good because you're high, it's a movie which is MADE with a stoner audience in mind, every little detail and joke caters to a high audience. This movie was made expecting people to be high while watching it. As Slow Burn puts it : you don't play no baseball with no bat. It's just not made to be played without a bat. There are better sports to play if you don't have a bat.It follows a rather classic story of huge nerd turning cool guy by way of crazy antics, with a weed twist. Wiz Khalifa plays Devin the nerd and Snoop Dogg plays the cool weed dealer Mac (yeah). Wiz's performance is not award-worthy, but it's believable enough, and Snoop isn't even acting, he's just being Snoop Dogg, which works perfectly. Contrary to some stoner movies like Half Baked, the characters really spend a lot of time smoking and being high, for your enjoyment (remember you're high yourself. I repeat, there's really no point watching this movie if you aren't), and they explore a lot of ways to get high, promoting the use of vaporizers and edibles (which are safer than smoking). Educational shorts (all about weed) pop regularly through the movie, and they're hilariously stupid but pretty accurate, and overall really enjoyable. Some might be uncomfortable with the rap slang though, be warned.The jokes in the movie follow the machine gun technique, which is making joke after joke on top of more jokes and visual or auditive gags. They never let down, and they keep a constant quality through the movie. Don't expect smart jokes ; most are gags or sophomoric humor, but it's the point.Finally, the music is of course very good with those two artists as main cast. There's one music scene that's a bit too long in the movie, but my personal theory is that they made this scene long on purpose to allow people a breather. This is the "I'm going to the toilet and stop smoking for a minute" moment of the movie, and having watched it 6 times, I guarantee it's more than welcome. It's Wiz and Snoop Dogg's rap, don't expect grandiose scores.tl;dr : excellent stoner comedy made from A to Z to be enjoyed high, and it is enjoyable. I saw it 6 times with different friends each time and every single person absolutely loved it.

Not that anyone expects this movie to be another Citizen Kane, but this was honestly one of the dumbest movies that I have ever had the displeasure to see. It was not funny at all, the actors and actresses involved all acted as if they had no experience in front of a camera or like they were acting in a school play, even the ones who usually are able to give a good performance in other projects. I spent the entire movie being embarrassed for the actors involved in this who actually do have acting talent. (I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, MIKE EPPS!!) The storyline was weak and has been done to death already.They say, "You have to be high to enjoy this movie" but I was high as the stars in the sky and it was STILL one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen!! Snoop and Wiz's talents are much more suited to their musical careers, and I think they should both just stick to music. As for Andy Milanakis (or however you spell it), do us all a favor and accept that you are not black, you're not a rapper, you're not a thug are not hard core by any stretch of the imagination. You are a pasty white, chubby, unfunny wannabe and I think you should just give it up already. Please stop taking roles like this. All in all, I gave this movie 2 stars, but really it only deserves 1. I rated it two stars only because it contains nudity and a couple good songs. Unless you enjoy actually feeling your IQ dropping as you sit there, then skip this one.
