Nolamoviedude The 1st half of this movie is laugh out loud hysterical but then the last 30 minutes are a complete bore. The 1st and best of the Cheech and Chong series of movies, stars Cheech as a poor Latino-American with nothing much going on other than his low rider car. Chong plays a privileged white hippie dude who doesn't want to do anything but get high. They meet when Chong is hitchhiking and Cheech picks him up. They end up smoking the largest joint that has ever been constructed! When they get pulled over for going 2 mph, the entire car is filled with smoke so thick that you could cut it with a knife. There are a bunch of other funny scenes like when this girl snorts Ajax thinking it's cocaine or how their van's exterior is made completely of weed. The band stuff gets a little boring at the end but the movie as a whole still stands the test of time. Cheech's song "I'm just a Love Ma-cheen" will get stuck in your head.
kurciasbezdalas Basically all Up in Smoke movies are about watching other people getting high, actually all the drug comedies are about that. It sounds kinda boring, but not when those people are Cheech & Chong. The scene where they were smoking in a car in the beginning is still funny to me, though I watched it many times. This movie is making fun more from the cops and other people who fight drugs, than from the drug addicts who just want to get high. This film shows how ridiculous those fighters against drugs look like, though this is a comedy, in my opinion, there is a lot of truth in this film. Maybe other Up in Smoke movies aren't that good as this one, but as I remember there is always at least few hilarious moments.
jts0405 Cheech and Chong movies will honestly never get old. This is the original movie that started it all and it is honestly the funniest of all they're films. This movie is entirely what the comedy of Cheech and Chong always was. This movie is the only movie in which Cheech and Chong do not play themselves as the titles characters, but still this movie is a laugh riot. A definite classic for all comedy genre fans to see. It may seem old school and not all teen sex related like todays comedies, but this is really what comedy is all about. This movie really hit it big and is still enjoyed today. Now that Cheech and Chong have reunited are we in for Up in Smoke 2 soon? Hopefully so.10/10
pbertovich05 Okay going into this movie I had no idea what this was going to be. All I knew is it was a stoner movie. Little did I know this movie was going to be absolutely hilarious. Cheech and Chong are brilliant in their "protrayals" of stoners. Completely oblivious to their surroundings Cheech and Chong relax and smoke weed while the world unfold around them. This is movie contains brilliant lowbrow humor that you can laugh at completely sober. The weed jokes are there but they are not needed to keep this movie rolling. This movie unfolds itself while you watch Cheech and Chong try to have a good time. From the opening scenes where you learn about each character to the classic stage scene finale this movie will have u laughing all over.
