This really is a stoner's comedy, isn't?
Wiz Khalifa, a rapper who claims to do nothing but smoke weed, plays a valedectorian (Get it? Because Wiz smokes weed in real life but not in the weed movie. GET IT?!) who is doing very well in HIGH school (Get it? Because it's a weed movie. GET IT?!) then he meets local pothead Snoop Dogg who teaches him how to "lighten up". Get it? Because it's a weed movie and you light up. GET IT?!
I don't know what's worse: the fact that it tries so hard to be a stoner comedy or that it's just not funny.
9/5/12 UPDATE
Recently, Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion (?)
Yeah, that motherfucker's a lion alright...He lied that this was funny. He was lion about this being funny when you're high. He was lion like a dogg.

Fuck you, Snoop Lion.
Fuck you.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Why does this even exist

glad I was stoned while watching this bullshit

Look, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you all - I watched this because it was short, I kind of liked some of the songs off the soundtrack and I needed to make up time in the December challenge. So I was pretty much expecting this to be terrible.
And it wasn't! Yay I guess. It certainty wasn't good, but it was no worse than mediocre. Snoop and Wiz were... actually fairly competant, and the film is overall far too shallow and empty to be anything less than okay. It doesn't try hard enough to fail, and as such, was the perfect way to pass 70 minutes at 3 in the morning.
It should be noted that I watched this sober, which may have not been the best choice.

A terribly animated joint, a terrible rapper and a washed up one, make this "Stoner" movie what it is. Awful.
-
At the beginning of this movie a talking joint tells you to get stoned. The film requires it. If you are unfortunately out of green you should turn off the movie. The movie needs you to be high.
This is no joke. The film isn't tolerable if you aren't playing the game. What game? The game is called Smoke The Weed. The animated talking joint says the game is best played when you smoke every time a character talks, walks or breaths.
There is virtually no story. Wiz Khalifa is doing something. Snoop is a 40 year stoner. This is the plot. Any time spent with it is worthless.
The plot may be worthless but smoking weed with Snoop and… -
The premise of Mac and Devin Go to High School was probably pitched as Half Baked meets Back to School: fifteenth-year senior Mac (Snoop Dogg) and uptight valedictorian Devin (Wiz Khalifa) partner in a mutually beneficial relationship. Mac may finally graduate, and Devin will finally learn how to loosen up while smoking stupid amounts of weed and getting facial tattoos. The film is basically a two-hander, with plenty of cameos: Mike Epps, Far East Movement, Tyga, Luenell, the OverDoz crew and Andy Milonakis all drop in.
Subtracting an animated intro and chapter stops (featuring an anthropomorphic joint voiced by Mystikal) and the opening and closing credits, this thing is barely an hour long. Thank goodness, because this limp vanity project…
