Fluentiama
Perfect cast and a good story

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

To begin with I usually give out a basic outline of the plot, but on this occasion what occurs is pure incoherent madness switching back and forth without much of a purpose. Nonetheless I'll give it a shot. Cheech and Chong are now sharing accommodation in a condemned building, while their next door neighbor constantly tells them what he thinks of them. While, Chong is lazing about, Cheech has got himself a job and also a girlfriend. But the former one doesn't last for too long, but he picks up a chick at the welfare office where he invites her over for the night. So, Cheech kicks Chong out of the house to have some fun with his cousin Red who's in town. While, Chong and Red are out having a great time; Chong is left waiting for his girl. *Hmm* that was easier than I thought… I guess that's it, well a basic rundown at least. This is Their follow up to "Up In Smoke" another classic stoner movie. if you want to relax and laugh you but off put this in the DVD player totally worth having in your collection. I've watched it at lease 420 times lol see what i did there. if you are a Stoner you will love this movie like another Cheech & Chong movie its totally worth watching and getting for your collection.

Cheech and Chong's Next Movie (1980)** (out of 4)This follow up to UP IN SMOKE really doesn't have any plot but just a bunch of gags dealing with Cheech and Chong getting into various bits of trouble and yes, most of it deals with pot. CHEECH AND CHONG'S NEXT MOVIE is a surprisingly lame and tame movie that hasn't aged very well at all. I remember watching this back in the day and thinking it was at least a middle ground C&C movie but when viewed today I have to wonder if I was smoking something myself. I think the biggest problem is that there's really no story here. Sure, UP IN SMOKE wasn't Shakespeare but it at least had the characters doing some fun stuff on their various journeys. Those journeys here just aren't all that memorable and even worse is the fact that we get very few laughs that work. You know you're in trouble when you get C&C, pot and aliens and no laughs. There's a long running gag set inside a sex house but there aren't any laughs to be found here either. Even some of the opening bits aren't nearly as funny as one would hope for but if a gun was at my head I'd say that the pee and bag of "cocaine" would be the best of the film. Needless to say, both Cheech and Chong are very good in their roles and we also get a fun performance by Paul Reubens. Cutl fans will also spot Cassandra Peterson, Michael Winslow and John Steadman who some might remember from THE HILLS HAVE EYES. I guess fans of the comedy duo will want to see everything the group did but there's no question that this here isn't one of their best.

This movie is like far out man I mean its like .. far out...man it's like--- WOW, Man I mean like.. its really... you know, FAR <bleepin> OUT!!! These kinda movies will make you repeat yourself, man, and they will make you repeat yourself... man! REPEAT YOURSELF!! (man) That's what came to mind as I watched this movie, Man! Like I don't do drugs, man, but sometimes I'm secretly sorry I don't! Cheech Y Chong seem to be having fun, and I had fun, too. Na, It's not "The Godfather" or "Gone With the Wind" but it is a BLAST from the PAST (the '70's past) and reminded me of those days I used to curl up with a C&C record and laugh my ASS off!!! It's worth a rent- Hell, It's worth a BUY!!
Whenever you feel blue- Job got 'ya down?? World seems hopeless?? Pop this Little Jewel into your VCR machine... Light up (If you do that sorta thing) and put your laugher in HIGH GEAR!!____________C & C LIVE FOREVER (man)_________

Cheech and Chong are back but this time as themselves not as Pedro DePacas and Man. Paul Ruebens a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman also stars in this film. Cheech also plays his redheaded wild eyed loud and noisy Cousin Red who takes Chong a really wild night through Downtown Los Angeles. Cheech and Chong gave it there best shot with this film but did not hit hit the bullseye. If you look at the neighborhood that Cheech and Chong live in during the day shots you will notice that it is none other than the Universal Studios backlot. The house they live in is the house from Black and White movie classic "To Kill a Mockingbird". Paul Ruebens plays a stuckup snobby Hotel Clerk who at night becomes comedian Pee Wee Herman. The big bag of weed storyline got changed for Comedy Central tv and the new storyline is a big bag of diamonds that aliens come to Earth for, therefore figuring in the U.F.O. scenario at the end of the movie in the Marijuana field. Look for a small appearance by black comedian Michael Winslow before he starred in those Police Academy movies. His sound effects routine in the Welfare Office keeps this movie laughable. Anyway thats about all I can say about Next Movie except that it could have been better if C&C stuck with Pedro and Man.
