Seriously who green lighted this and how broke is Mike Epps to do this garbage?

Pretty basic, this is not How High 2, this is garbage. This is a terrible waste using a name of something that was good to try to sell.

No one's buying.

Hold up, hold up! Don't kill me yet! First off: I love the original. I was almost shocked when I heard that they were doing this... making the sequel without Red&Meth. But that's probably some of a producers fault, so let's try to be reasonable.

How High 2 should be called something else, though. It is only connected to the original by name, and a couple short cameos. And I guess you could say it's set in the same universe. But I guess it's way too tempting to cash in on the name. The original is a emthereffing classic, after all!

How High 2 is pretty short, but for the most part it is fairly entertaining. I do think the writers have tried to mimic the humor of the original somewhat, because the style of the jokes felt slightly recognizable at times.

The leads actually do ok. The big one I've seen before, the smaller one I did not recognize - sounds like he's doing a Chris Tucker imitation or something. I was prepared for super crappy acting, and while it's not Oscar-material, it was better than expected. Even a hint of charm, here and there. Ok, maybe just there.

It was a thing at the end, that dragged it down somewhat, so I could have liked a little better.

If you just want something mindless and braindead, you could do worse. You could also do a whole lot better, and it is called How High.

C'mon. How High was one of the greatest stoner films ever made. The scene where Redman gets so high he thinks he's flying is hilarious! Even the first one wasn't top notch filmmaking. Plenty of boring parts. The sequel is much worse than the first, but I must admit I had a bit of fun.

The story is about two cousins who discover this "next level" weed. It soon gets stolen, and they embark on a quest through frat parties, strip clubs, and tech conferences to find it.

Lil Yachty was fun to watch in my opinion. It would have been more fun to see him as the Redman character fully. I wish they would have made him more of a funny slacker character. The other guy was just bad. He was trying to be like Chris Tucker, and all of his jokes fell short. The rest of the movie had some fun parts. The strip club scene was funny, as well as the fast food drive thru scene.

All in all, I would suggest watching this movie.
