Still Smokin Trailers

Cheech & Chong are invited to a celebrity party in Amsterdam. When they get there, however, it turns out that the guy who invited them has taken off with all the money. They are actually expecting Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton, so our heroes get to be Mr. Burt and Mr. Dolly.

Reviews
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
WakenPayne Granted I have only seen about 5 minutes of it, The height of the jokes is that "Cheech looks like Burt Renyolds." If your going to make an ongoing joke PLEASE, please please please please PLEEEAAASE make it funny, also it wouldn't hurt to add something else in there as well, the only other joke in this is "Chong looks like Dolly Parton." Could they do more than those look-alike jokes?In my opinion if you want to watch a decent stoner comedy or one that is REMOTELY FUNNY then you have your choices of The Jay and Silent Bob films or your Harold and Kumar films, hell even the original Cheech and Chong movie "Up In Smoke", If you want look-alike jokes then you could make better jokes in 5 minutes about "random celebrity looks like other random celebrity". I do enjoy dumb comedy (as seen above when revealed I like Harold and Kumar) for a fact I enjoy dumber comedies than most people but this crossed the line when they couldn't stop with the same crappy joke.Overall: do something else other than wasting time with this, like watching the movie series' above or listen to their recordings.
theskylabadventure Let's be honest, Cheech & Chong weren't exactly artists, but some of their earlier movies were a lot of fun. This was their 4th or 5th movie, and it's basically a tired rehash of the same stoner jokes they were knocking out in Up In Smoke. Having said that, it is still fun to a certain audience; the same audience who like Beavis & Butthead or Jay & Silent Bob really.It's not just the infantile humour, it's that age old story of 'loser makes good' that we all find so satisfying over and over again. While C&C don't really achieve anything in any of their movies, they do have fun not achieving it.In this movie they end up in Amsterdam, where they are mistaken for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton (obviously). You can pretty much imagine the rest of the movie as is. It's stupid, it's childish, it's juvenile - and that's exactly the point.
dj I am a Cheech and Chong Fan. Saw "Up in Smoke" a few months ago and I still think it is great. .....Still Smokin is not great. Not good. Not fair.....it is crap. A few funny moments, but basically no story. Most of the humour is not funny, even if you are stoned. Try "Up in Smoke" or the Next Movie, but not this one.The basic plot/story is Cheech and Chong are mistaken for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton at a film festival in Amterdam by people carrying signs with Burt and Dollys photos on them. ...and then it get worst.You can look at my voting history and I have rated over 1500 movies...there are very few ones...98% of my votes are 6 and up...I like movies of all kinds..except crap. THis is crap...Don't waste your time.
mentalcritic Nobody else seems to know how to make a hilarious, easy-going film like Up In Smoke, and if this effort is any indication, it would appear that the duo don't really know it either. In fact, if I had to assess why Up In Smoke was such a classic in spite of its uneven pace, Still Smokin' would lead me to believe that it was purely a miraculous accident. But even without comparison to Up In Smoke, Still Smokin' is by any standard a complete mess.The concept around which the film is based seems interesting enough. The stoner duo, playing themselves for a change, are invited to a film festival in Holland. The idea being that Holland, with its somewhat less Nancy-Boy approach to drug consumption, regards the pair as celebrities. Or at least, that is the idea behind one of the sketches. And this is where the problem begins. The plot, such as it is, loosely ties together a series of Comedy Company-style sketches that just don't work. Some of them, such as the interview with an adoring Dutch film critic society, smack of self-indulgence.The one part of this film that comes close to working is the blind blues harmonica player. Chong literally comes onto the stage wearing some kind of brown paint over his face, and, tapping out a beat with his foot, blows into his empty hands. It is a lot funnier to watch than it looks on paper (or a monitor), and I still cannot watch a lot of Charles Bronson's scenes in C'era una volta il West without cracking up because of it. If the rest of the film had been like this, it would have been a major success.Unfortunately, the rest of the film is based around such idiocies as a wrestling match with invisible opponents that goes on way too long, or a stage performance in which the stoner duo impersonate dogs. I can't remember if they really do such things as sniff each others' butts, but given how low and undignified this sounds in text form, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. What would surprise me would be the Paramount executives being fully sober and lucid when they greenlighted this mess. Seriously, did they even have a finished script when principal photography began?In all, I gave Still Smokin' a one out of ten. It is not bad enough to be good, but it is bad enough to be just plain bad. Aside from the one funny skit I outlined above, the entire film was, and still is, a big waste of cash. I am not surprised in the slightest that the Just Say No movement picked up momentum shortly after films like this. They suggest quite strongly that marijuana might not be so harmless after all.
