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.
