Still Smokin (1983): Dir: Thomas Chong / Cast: Richard "Cheech" Marin, Thomas Chong, Carol van Herwijnen, Carla van Amstel, Susan Hahn: Sequel to Up in Smoke that seems to applaud the idea that these two comics are still smoking weed, but it also indicates lack of change. It could have made due with the idea that Tommy Chong and Richard "Cheech" Marin were ridiculously mistaken for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton but unfortunately that joke is more in passing. The film consists of our dope smoking duo dreaming up worthless sketches and chasing a maid around the hotel room. Chong isn't exactly handling things well behind the camera either. As director he presents something that any student can make with a cheap camcorder. There is not a shred of artistic talent in existence here. Cheech and Chong performing these skits are about as enjoyable as jamming your fingers in the car door. We do not care about their stupid adventure unlike the appeal they did sustain in Up in Smoke. There are a few supporting players entering in and out although none of them will likely gain much praise for this. Susan Hahn enters as a hotel maid but likely realizes quickly that the one thing that needed cleaned out was the entire script. It celebrates the declining quality of Cheech and Chong films so instead of lighting a joint why not celebrate by lighting this pathetic film on fire. Score: 1 / 10

Granted I have only seen about 5 minutes of it, The height of the jokes is that "Cheech looks like Burt Renyolds." If your going to make an ongoing joke PLEASE, please please please please PLEEEAAASE make it funny, also it wouldn't hurt to add something else in there as well, the only other joke in this is "Chong looks like Dolly Parton." Could they do more than those look-alike jokes?In my opinion if you want to watch a decent stoner comedy or one that is REMOTELY FUNNY then you have your choices of The Jay and Silent Bob films or your Harold and Kumar films, hell even the original Cheech and Chong movie "Up In Smoke", If you want look-alike jokes then you could make better jokes in 5 minutes about "random celebrity looks like other random celebrity". I do enjoy dumb comedy (as seen above when revealed I like Harold and Kumar) for a fact I enjoy dumber comedies than most people but this crossed the line when they couldn't stop with the same crappy joke.Overall: do something else other than wasting time with this, like watching the movie series' above or listen to their recordings.

Cheech and Chong head to Amsterdam after being invited to attend a film festival, but there happens to be a strange case of mistaken identity. They were expecting Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton, but Cheech and Chong go ahead with the trip despite that of the Manager's grave concerns over the debacle. So, the duo decides they would perform a show for the festival. Where they spend their time lazing about in the hotel, checking out hot spots and dreaming up skits that they can perform.Oh man, how awkward and self-indulgent can this get. I loved the first three films; "Up in Smoke", "Next Movie" and "Nice Dreams". But for this outing, everything about is simply in shambles. And to think I was going to purchase it. Phew, that was a close shave! How to describe it
embarrassing and tired. As I sat there, I found it to get less funny with its forced humour that got too silly and became stale far too quickly. From watching their other films, I knew there wouldn't be much of a story with individual skits making up the feature. What we got here, is simply a bland holiday gig for the clownish, two stoners; Cheech and Chong to get up to trouble in Amsterdam and actually play themselves in some dreamed-up episodes that they could perform in their stand-up live show at the end of the film. Too bad I found it mostly boring and the support performances just make you cringe. Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin are so-so, it's just the material they have come up with, equals such lacking and disappointing results with too few successful stints of humour. Some skits go on for too long. Even the humour has even less do with drugs here, and goes for infantile cracks and beyond crude remarks and actions. Sure, I wouldn't mind it, but I didn't find all of it remotely amusing. It couldn't get anymore poor than this. A total drag that's straining for laughs.

Two stoners named Cheech and Chong are invited to a Dutch film festival by mistake. Hmm... can you guess what stoners do in the Netherlands? Well, apart from being the most idiotic and stupid of the Cheech and Chong movies, this film does stand up pretty well compared to some of todays dope-movies. What it lacks in plot it makes up for with the hilarious sketches at the end(best part of the movie, no matter what anyone says). Some of the sketches are a little sick, so this film isn't for the easily offended. This film is pretty funny, although it has no plot which drags it down a bit. 7 out of 10.
