Reviews

Mac & Devin Go to High School received generally negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film does not hold a Tomatometer score due to insufficient professional reviews, but user ratings hover around mixed to below average. IMDb scores it 4.4 out of 10, reflecting many viewers' disappointment with its lack of depth and weak storyline. Critics have pointed out that while the chemistry between Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa brings some entertainment value, the movie suffers from clichéd humor and a thin plot. Metacritic does not have an aggregated score, but some reviewers have remarked that the film leans heavily on the star power and music rather than on narrative or cinematic quality. Positive notes often mention the catchy soundtrack featuring both artists, which fans of their music might enjoy. However, many find that the movie's appeal is quite niche, targeted primarily toward fans of the two leads rather than a wider audience. The comedic elements and high school scenarios have been described as predictable and occasionally cringeworthy. Overall, "Mac & Devin Go to High School" is seen more as a vehicle for the musicians' personalities and music than as a strong standalone comedy film.
