Half Baked (1998) **
A genuinely subversive comedy that ridicules US anti-narcotics laws, celebrates pot smoking and glorifies drug dealers. The jokes could be funnier, but the film works on many other levels: it's clever, self-mocking, wickedly satiric (best of all is a spoof of Jerry Maguire) and often quite original. An Up In Smoke for the 90's (Tommy Chong even has a cameo).
