How High 2 (2019)

How High 2 is the kind of stoner comedy that doesn’t just coast on smoke clouds—it leans into a playful, Atlanta-soaked vibe and keeps the energy moving with a goofy, anything-can-happen sense of momentum. D.C. Young Fly and Lil Yachty make a surprisingly fun duo, bouncing off each other with the loose, improvisational feel of friends talking big dreams and making bad decisions in real time. The movie’s charm is in how it turns a simple hustle into a city-spanning, slightly supernatural scramble, packed with colorful side characters and a cartoonish logic that knows exactly what lane it’s in. If you’re looking for something sophisticated or subtle, this isn’t it—but if you want a breezy, high-spirited ride that’s unapologetically weed-forward and built for laughs, it delivers.

How High 2 is clearly trying to be a loose, high-energy stoner caper with a modern Atlanta vibe and just enough “supernatural weed” nonsense to keep things moving. The problem is it often feels like a sketch stretched to feature length: the plot is thin, the jokes are hit-or-miss, and if you’re expecting the charm or cleverness of the original, this will likely feel like a knockoff rather than a true follow-up. D.C. Young Fly brings some likable charisma and the movie has a few fun, chaotic moments, but it’s heavily built around nonstop marijuana use, raunchy humor, and a TV-movie level of polish. If you’re not already in the mood for a very weed-forward comedy that prioritizes vibes over story, you’ll probably want to skip it.
