This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Quite honestly, I don't see how even fans of this film can give it a '10' rating. It's funny in parts, but personally, I found the movie a chore to get through. There's not much of a story going on, and it's principal appeal seems to be in catering to the stoner crowd that gets it's kicks in the kind of moronic behavior exhibited by Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. Veteran character actors like Stacy Keach,Tom Skerritt and Strother Martin lower their personal standards to appear in this flick and not necessarily for the good, as they all present caricatures of the type of characters they're supposed to represent. For me, this couldn't be over and done with quick enough, but if you're a Cheech and Chong fan, have at it. Who am I to deny a meaningless hour and a half in your life?

This 1978 comedy is a classic, and it is one of those comedies that will leave a fond, lasting memory. I even remember this movie from my childhood, watching it at my friend's home back somewhere in the 1980's.Very little explanation is necessary for "Up in Smoke". The title fairly much is self-explanatory. Yes, it is a story about two potheads.The comedy in the movie is good and thrown at you at all the right places. And there is a good ensemble of cast members, starting with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, of course, in the leading roles. But it was also great to see Tom Skerritt in that hilarious role, as well as Stacey Keach as the police detective.There are so many hilarious situations and things going on throughout the entire movie, that it is just a great joy to watch the movie. And it can be watched more than once, as it does have that kind of contents to its storyline and characters."Up in Smoke" is a fun and entertaining movie, and if you enjoy comedy and has not already seen this 1978 movie, shame on you! It is a good movie and well-worth your time and money.

Cheech and Chong meet up by chance on the highway somewhere in California. They go in search of some dope and are accidentally deported to Mexico where in their desperation to get home they agree to drive a van back to the States so they can get back in time for a gig they are due to play. Unaware of the properties from which the van is constructed they make their way back having acquired a couple of female hitch-hikers whilst all the time avoiding the cops whom they are not even aware are following them. Tonight I Decided To Give The Mother Of All Stoner Comedies A Go. This Is Not Just The Mother Of Stoner Comedies...Its The Father Of Dumb Comedies. I Loved Every Minute Of It...I Was Adimant Not To Turn The TV Off When Cheech & Chong Smoked Dog Crap That Came From A Dog That Ate Chong's Marjuana...I'm Laughing Now As I Type It Up.I Also Have Some Of Their Recordings Like "Dave", "Up In Smoke"(I Was Familiar With The Movie Before Tonight), I Even Had "Earache My Eye" Which Is My Personal Favourite So I Didn't Mind Hearing It In This Film But I Would've Loved It Even More If After The End Credits The Sketch That Goes With Earache My Eye Would Play. I Also Loved The Fact That They Were So Dumb That They Had No Idea The "Hard Hat" Cops Were After Them. Overall If You Like Stoner Comedies In The Same Vein As The Kevin Smith Comedies Of...Well His Entire Career Than This Movie Is Definitely One To Buy.

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.
