Up In Smoke (1978)

Synopsis: Loveable potheads are pursued by the world’s dumbest cops.

Blurb From the VHS Jacket: “There’s nothing straight about this movie. But here’s the dope anyway: Cheech and Chong make their film debut in this riotous rock’n’roll comedy, bringing with them the same madness, lifestyles and sketches that sold over 10 million records in the early ‘70s.”

What Did I Learn?: Young girls don’t want to get into a car with a license plate which reads: “MUF DVR”.

You Might Like This Movie If: You associate the War song “Lowrider” with Cheech Marin washing his car.

Really?: 1) What happened to Chong’s Volkswagen Beetle? It obviously fell apart near the beginning of the movie (speaking of which, Chong was WAY too old to be a rich kid who could potentially be sent to military school), and there was never ever mention of it afterwards. 2) It seemed a little out-of-character when Cheech appeared to know that Arabs don't live in Turkey.

Rating: I can’t say that Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke is a particularly good movie (it's mostly a series of disjointed misadventures), but it does have some moments of hilarity, and I’ll admit that I’m biased: I watched this film on many occasions as a kid, and it’s still a fave (watch for a great performance from Christopher Joy as Curtis – funny stuff). 8/10 stars.
