WSR Narrative Review |

Story Synopsis:
A comedy about best buds, Half Baked finds four underachieving friends who live, play and party together, caught in a sticky situation. One night, while on a munchies run, Kenny (Harland Williams) innocently stops to share some junk food with a diabetic NYPD patrol horse. When the horse keels over dead, Kenny is arrested as a cop killer! Thurgood (Dave Chappelle), Scarface (Guillermo Diaz) and Brian (Jim Breuer) hastily resolve to raise Kenny’s bail of $100,000. Our marginally employed heroes find their only way to raise the money is to start a home delivery weed service using the marijuana found in the government-funded research lab where Thurgood works as a janitor.
