In January they were witch hunters, and now they’re getting high.
“Hansel & Gretel Get Baked” returns the fairy tale siblings to the
screen, this time reimagined as a pot-loving, crime-solving young woman
and her picture-snapping, straight-laced brother facing off against a

production’s lack of budgetary might, “Hansel & Gretel Get Baked”
might come across as an overlong, underwritten late night television
sketch, but there are a few highlights here worth waiting around for,
especially for those with a hankering for motivated no-coin,
bottom-shelf entertainment. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
