Remember wanting to see this sooo bad at the drive in one summer upon it's release back in '78 My father said dont worry u'll get in if you are with your parents (I'm thinking no i wont) sure enough upon arriving at our local drive-in 'Up In Smoke' is rated R so what he decides to do last second is stash me back in the camper on his truck. I jump out of my dad's pick up and race to stow myself away as he proceeds to the ticket booth..Well it seems everyone saw me including most of the employees so it was all a bust. Never ended up watching the flick 'till it was released on laser disc (you remember those old laser disc formatted movies that came in those huge plastic containers and were the size of an actual lp which you had to push them all the way inside the player let the disc fall in then slide the container out?) It was roughly about 3 yrs after the initial theatrical release of the film and i lmao so badly i remember almost having a peecident in my pants!!
Now i am watching the film with my own 12 year old son who is laughing just as hard if not harder then the old man did back in the day. My point being to all this, is this is a timeless classic featuring one of the best comedic duos known! If you are a comedy fan and have run out of anything to watch and never have heard of Cheech And Chong then by all means give the oldies a shot and if you have never watched a single film that these two put out during the '80's then starp on your depends and enjoy!
For those of you not familiar with this film Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong portray two pot heads searching for the ultimate buzz. In this the duo first meet on the highway as Cheech, mistakin Chong for a female hitchhiker picks him up after Chong's car bites the dust. lots of laughter prevails through their many adventures as they end up getting deported back to Tijuana, Mexico where they visit Cheech's Uncle Chewy to pick up a van and deliver it over the border back to the States, little do the potheads know but the van is made entirely out of weed!!
Laughs all around as they end up looking for weed that is somewhat scarce in the film all the whilst driving in a van made of the stuff!! A great classic film!!
