Movie Review: A comedy classic of the 70's!
Summary: 5 Stars

Pedro De Paca (Cheech Marin) is a musician living in California who feels like his band needs a kick and he's a stoner. He meets a hippie named Anthony (Tommy Chong) as he decides to put him into his band and both are accidently deported to Mexico by mistake, however they smuggle a van of drugs on their way out of Mexico back to the states and picks up two lovely hitchiker women and are on the lam from the drug authorities.

This is the movie that started the whole Cheech and Chong phenomenon as back in 1978 it was a box-office success among audiences and critics. The film made Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong into movie stars including their two stoner characters as it spawned comedy shows, sequels and of course influenced a generation of stoner comedies for years to come after this movie's success for it's a hilarious and original comedy that you won't forget.

This special edition DVD includes audio commentary, deleted scenes with optional commentary, music videos, radio spots, featurette, and trailer.

Movie Review: Hey, Man!
Summary: 3 Stars

This was an appropriate movie for the 1970s where long hair, drugs, wild clothing, war protests and just all-around rebellion was the "in" thing to do, although rebellion has been a part of society since Adam and Eve.

In this film, we have the famous Hippie "brothers" of the era: Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong ("Cheech and Chong," as they were known back then) with a story strictly about getting stoned (as we called it then.)

Actually, there are some very funny scenes in here, such as these two clowns smoking the huge, huge joint while driving down the road. Then, we see the car almost white with smoke and the two guys so stoned they don't realize they are parked. That, and a couple of other scenes were funny but overall it's predictable in the negative aspects: language (Strother Martin) , gratuitous sex and and the general irreverence of the 1960s and '70s "counterculture."

And...oh, yeah, the two boys finish every sentence with the word "man." Well, all I can say is the film had it's day, man, but is a bit dated by now, man! (But still funny!)

Summary of Up in Smoke [VHS]

Cheech & Chong's first cannabis comedy is also their best, a souvenir from the more carefree days before "Just Say No," when people did not feel so defensive about inhaling. In 1978, the prevailing spirit was more like "Just Say Blow." Even New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael liked it (the movie, that is), adding that it was "an exploitation slapstick comedy, rather than a family picture, such as Blazing Saddles or High Anxiety--which means that it's dirtier, wilder, and sillier." The story has to do with bumbling potheads Cheech & Chong searching for primo bud, while being tailed by a team of inept law-enforcement officers, led by Sgt. Stedenko (Stacy Keach). Sample dialogue: When a cop pulls them over to ask if they are any illegal substances in his vehicle, Cheech replies: "Not any more, man." Up in Smoke is an irresistibly silly and charming movie that--despite, or perhaps because of, the national furor over drug use--plays today like a relic from a bygone era, a sweeter, more open, more innocent period in our history. --Jim Emerson
