Release Date: April 22, 2008I think I was supposed to watch this movie high. Or better yet, with a bunch of stoners. Instead I watched it on a Saturday morning by myself with a bagel in my bumblebee boxers. Totally Baked: A Pot-U-Mentary is a strange combination of an after-school special and a John Landis comedy segment film a la Amazon Women on the Moon or the Kentucky Fried Movie. One part of it wants to educate audiences on marijuana, comparing it to other addictive drugs and even supplying pop-ups with death tolls for each drug, while the other part of the film wants to entertain with different stories on how cannabis affects America. One minute you’re educated, the next, you’re laughing. It’s like a fun seminar… or something.

The main story revolves around some drug dealers…ahem…Medical Marijuana Activists…that take over a house inhabited by a reunion for a college debate team. (Raise eyebrows now.) The education begins when the daughter of the father is brought home by the ex-wife due to her finding pot in her birth control case. (Let out the “ooooh” now.) So the party continues under the supervision of the MMA’s with guns, and they slowly creep into the resistant debaters on how Mary Jane makes a party great. It’s not laugh out loud funny but not dull either as girls get wild and naked, Heather Sossaman burns the screen with her hotness, and Skippy starts lighting his farts on fire. It’s hard not to laugh at blue flames from the ass.

Around that story are segments filled with stand-up comedy by various comics at some sort of Pot Comedy Festival, Onion snack “Funyuns” parody, a farmer that grows fake pot, Martha Stewart drug cook, and interviews with comedians about their weed addiction. Some are funny, but like I said, funnier if I were “high on the hookah.” Though there is one scene that I did bust a gut laughing at, with some stoner in a pool talking about how his friend calls him while watching the weather channel. It’s a party quote for sure.
