Clarence Williams III Half Baked

January can be counted on for two things: bad weather and bad movies. The bad weather is usually widely publicized in advance of arrival. Bad movies are another matter.

The latest has been released without appearing on the preview screens that enable reviewers to act as an early warning system.

For the wary, the title of this new film is “Half-Baked.” Not very funny, intelligent or grippingly plotted, it is likely to appeal only to those who think that anything to do with marijuana–smoking, sharing, stealing or selling–constitutes the Mt. Everest of rip-roaring hilarity.

The best that can be said for “Half-Baked” that cast is attractive–there are token appearances by Willie Nelson, Dave Garcia, Tommy Chong, Jon Stewart, and Snoop Doggy Dog, and the music is lively.

Directed by Tamra Davis and written by Neal Brennan and Dave Chappelle, one of its stars, “Half-Baked” doles out the story of four friends whose life-defining experience, in the mid-1980s, sometime before the 9th grade, is their first encounter with marijuana.

Eleven years later, they are living together in New York City, most of them holding down low-level jobs and still relishing a good smoke. Thurgood (Chappelle) works at a pharmaceutical lab as a janitor (he prefers “custodian”). Scarface (Guillermo Diaz)  employed in a fast-food restaurant. Brian (Jim Breuer) floats around in a record shop, and the good-natured Kenny (Harland Williams) teaches kindergarten.

One night, Kenny–assigned to buy the group’s post-smoke munchies–feeds the popcorn, beef jerky, chocolate graham crackers, ice-cream bars and pizza to a police horse. Being diabetic, it drops dead. In an instant, Kenny is branded a cop killer, clapped in jail, held in lieu of $1 million bails and living in fear of prison rape.

His good friends are determined to raise the $100,000 in cash needed to pay for his bond. Their solution is to sell the high-grade marijuana available in the lab where Thurgood works. Their success offends Samson Simpson (Clarence Williams III), a major dealer, and it eventually draws the attention of the law.
