Visitor Reviews
Uneven but good.
posted on 08 Jun 2009This is a movie that's really uneven. Some parts are so funny that they will make you laugh out loud while others are just dull.Anyway the good parts are often so funny that they make up for the errors and the actors are really entertaining to watch.Oddly enough, this movie is actually banned here in Finland. A bit sad because it's a good movie.Rent it!
Classic of drug comedies
posted on 18 Apr 2009Basically all Up in Smoke movies are about watching other people getting high, actually all the drug comedies are about that. It sounds kinda boring, but not when those people are Cheech & Chong. The scene where they were smoking in a car in the beginning is still funny to me, though I watched it many times. This movie is making fun more from the cops and other people who fight drugs, than from the drug addicts who just want to get high. This film shows how ridiculous those fighters against drugs look like, though this is a comedy, in my opinion, there is a lot of truth in this film. Maybe other Up in Smoke movies aren't that good as this one, but as I remember there is always at least few hilarious moments.
Far Out Man !
posted on 18 Apr 2009"SPOILER ALERT" This is the movie that started it all for the duo comedy act of Richard "Cheech" Marin and Thomas "Tommy" Chong. You get just the right mix of sex, drugs, and rock'n roll plus one pound of seedless stemless comedy that will leave you in stitches. This movie is actually based on the stage act created by C&C called "Cruising with Pedro DePacas and Man". But in the movie version Pedro meets Man and they smoke a giant joint, Pedro and Man go cruising for more weed and can't find any, they get accidentally deported to Tijuana and drive a van back across the border but they don't know that the van is made of 100% pure weed. They enter their band in a Battle of the Bands at The Roxy Theater and win and still they don't find any weed. Cheech and Chong's first film is totally far out. If you want to have a groovy time get a few buds together and plop this video in and let the high times and the good times roll.
Better than expected
posted on 21 Jan 2009Didn't expect to like this movie. DVD review.Two stoners travel from Mexico to USA in a van made out of dope.Better than expected comedy that features a good cast. Surprisingly much of the humour works: people travel to a Mexican wedding for free by getting deported; Skerrit with that birthmark; Chong's father yelling at him to get a job; Keach disguised as a Krishna; the dead police dog; the nuns getting busted at customs; and the band competition. And I LOVED the soundtrack with it's diverse range of '70s rock and Latino. Picture also has good pacing, structure, and you can't help but get involved with its humour. There's good interplay between the two leads - Cheech being the more dominant.Up in Smoke is a good late-'70s comedy.
if this isn't funny to you,you're thinking too much
posted on 10 Dec 2008i saw every cheech and chong movie and i must say that up in smoke is definitely the greatest achievement.every part of this movie was hilarious.from beginning to end.memorable lines and characters,good storyline and location.and the whole movie i got a really good vibe.its pure marijuana B.S. and its awesome.like who would think of something this outrageous involving marijuana than cheech and chong.and who else who say "your mama" to a pig,excuse me,i mean police officer.its all about not caring letting go and just having a good time and trying to score some weed so everyone can kick back and just chill.nothing really to understand.no confusing storyline,no unexplainable characters,no deep far out meaning,just fun.
You don't have to be a stoner to give this movie high praise
posted on 30 Aug 2008When this first came out in the theaters I passed on seeing it as it seemed like Cheech and Chong's time had come and went. I was a big fan of their comedy albums of the early and mid 70's but the movie version of their act would have been logical then but by 1978 it's time had past. Of those who did see this in the theater I couldn't get a proper read on a critical review since I could find no one who saw it in a theater that wasn't high when they went. A year or two after it came out it showed up on one of the cable movie channels and I was expecting a typical movie that takes a funny five minute skit and stretches it out to a painful non-funny 90 minutes. Director Lou Adler had never directed a movie before. He had produced the documentary rock film Monetery Pop and the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show and Robert Altman's quirky Brewster McCloud but he was Pop music entrepreneur as a music producer, publisher, manager and record company founder. He would only direct one other film which is too bad because with his industry connections and reputation and his natural feel for talent and getting the best out of talent being a director worked very well for him as with the help of Cheech and Chong he turned out a very very funny movie with Up in Smoke. The counter-culture stoner comedy duo take a simple theme for a story outline but the great comedic timing and sight gags and fast pacing and an their inventive approach at film making takes what should have been a low budget stoner comedy to the next level of lasting cinematic comedy. Like a Marx Brothers or WC Fields or Charlie Chaplin comedy this movie has lasting power to entertain generations. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong star in the first of series of funny movies from the duo. A strong character cast includes Strother Martin, Stacy Keetch, Tom Skerritt and Edie Adams. Look for Gary Muledeer and Ellen Barkin too. This movie had such broad appeal that some of the most red neck, anti-counter-culture, anti-hippy/freak/doper people I have ever ever known loved it. I would give this a 9.0 out of 10.
"Everybody must get stoned"
posted on 03 Aug 2008I added to my collection the Double Feature DVD with Up in Smoke and Still Smokin like two months ago but just last night I finally saw the first one so also last night was my very first "encounter" with Cheech and Chong and for sure won't be the last. So here Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are Pedro and Anthony (his father call him Anthony yet in the credits Tommy Chong is just "man") respectively and basically they will meet just by pure causality. We have the sort of introduction and we see a moment with each one, we see the first funny moment with Pedro pissing and on the other hand we have the classic situation of a guy who at the age of what 30 or something still lives with his parents, certainly the father is just tired of having his lazy son doing about nothing during the entire day. Both Pedro and Anthony are out with cars yet only Pedro will be able to continue driving, to continue looking for a lost babe or maybe babes but he will have only kind of a really big disappointment but after all there he meets who will be his best friend. Certainly these two have a lot in common but mainly two things will keep them together: drugs and rock and roll. Is just amazing and hilarious the first joint they smoke together, Pedro was like "I been smoking since always, I can smoke anything" but the Led Zeppelin is something else, heavy s***, dog s***! And that s*** will give them some troubles and certainly we will laugh and laugh. Up in Smoke is one of those movies that are just so damn enjoyable since the very first second till the very last, essentially Pedro and Anthony are just looking out for some s*** but of course things will happen. The police play here a big role, they will be close to Pedro, Anthony and company and they deliver also a lot of fun. We have the police chief and three of his "sons" (is also a great "show" with this guys, of course the one who will suffer most is the chief, he even loses his dog that was the best cop he ever saw!), they are after those who are transporting a really big quantity of drug from Mexico to the US, they will be after "two hippies with a van". And certainly we know who those hippies are, we know that the van they are driving would be a damn treasure for them but they don't know, actually they don't know a damn thing. Is really funny what Pedro's cousin (not sure is his cousin but sure is a relative) do to get a free ride to Tijuana, very funny and Pedro and Anthony will be in Mexico also and in THE van they will return to the US. At one point we know what will happen with the van if the police finds it, actually is not that different to what will happen with the van if Pedro and Anthony realize about the truth. By this time our dudes have company, finally the company of women and now they have another thing in mind: the battle of the bands at the Roxy. And will be for a moment like a little Monterey or Woodstock, every single soul in the place was connected! Those like me who saw first the great Coen brothers film The Big Lebowski (that is my second favourite Coen bros film) certainly will remember it. Terrific fun with these two DUDES!
Hilarious MAN!!!!

Brilliant
posted on 04 Jun 2007This is the best film I have ever seen and one of the funniest, but to appreciate it you have to like that sort of film, If you liked it you might also like the film Twin Town it's based In Swansea South Wales and it's about a set of twins who are not really Twins and a couple of dodgy coppers!!
I just hope you're not busy for about a month...
posted on 09 Mar 2007I'm looking at the rating and it saddens me. I really believe this movie to be one of the greatest of all time. It seems to me now days that people are looking for great acting and challenging shots, but if a movie works it works. This movie has a classic feel to it. From the start to finish you are completely involved in this crazy ride. Even if you don't smoke or ever have you will still find the humor. And if you are to dumb to laugh well then you shouldn't be watching movies anyways.The team of Cheech & Chong will never been seen again, and I find that to be a great thing.COME ON ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite a funny piece
posted on 21 Nov 2006Those bogus adventures of these two hippies are quite funny and relaxing to see, and it surely reminds me of summer days with nice music and just the vibe of being free. There is no famous actors here, just the purity of a good vibe with a good message despite the regular story of some evil guys being chased by those foolish cops.It feels sort of sometimes that this movie is made by some hippies, since they don't really make it anti-marijuana propaganda but still they don't promote legalization, they just make fun of everything, cops, drugs, everything! I like it that way, more chilled and relaxed vibe please!See this, it surely gave me a smile upon my lips anyways. I just got to see the other two movies in the trilogy to feel complete!
Low Rider
posted on 01 Sep 2006Whether deliberate or the product of budget constraints, the resulting episodic, disjointed structure nicely reflects the stoned experience. Put some ice in your bong, pack some munchies and join this low ride! A not-so-random thought: these days, the MPAA will bump up the rating to R for any innocuous recreational drug use. Consequently, your average PG-13 comic duo such as Carrey and Daniels in Dumb and Dumber is genetically, not pharmaceutically mentally handicapped. Or maybe our parents are right: the generations are just successively dumbing down. I mean, look whom we chose for President. At least Cheech and Chong's idiocy was excused by rampant toking.
Great Classic Film
posted on 30 Jun 2006Viewed this film years ago and never forgot the great acting and comedy scenes between Cheech Marin,(Pedro) and Tommy Chang,(Anthony). Anthony is a rich kid who simply will not go to work or conform to anything his parents want him to accomplish in life. His dad tells him to get a job or else he is on his very own. Cheech manages to pick Anthony up along a highway and is even carrying his complete set of drums. There is one scene when a gal drives me crazy with laughter, when she sniffs up AJAX like the real Stuff and makes wild faces and tongue expressions you have never seen before. This is a film you need to see over and over again, it is great entertainment and a true Hollywood Classic.
Cheech and Chong's Screen debut!
posted on 27 Sep 2005Up in Smoke (1978) was the comic team of Cheech and Chong's big screen debut. After selling a ton of albums during the early and mid-seventies, the duo finally got a chance to star in their own picture. Anthony "Man" Stoner (Tommy Chong) is a rich kid who's still living the hippie life and enjoys pot. Pedro De Pacas (Cheech Marin) is a kid from East L.A. who's into three things: gaudy car upholstery, rock music and finding smoke. This would be the first of several movies starring these two characters (or different variations of them).Anthony Stoner leaves his rich parents house after a falling out over getting a job. His car breaks down near the ocean. But his savior arrives in the form of Pedro De Pacas. Pedro is cruising for girls when he meets Anthony. Th two strike up a friendship and the movie goes off in several different and bizarre directions. What kind of adventures do Anthony and Pedro get into? You'll just have to find out for yourself when you watch UP IN SMOKE.A funny film that'll keep you laughing from beginning to end. Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin play the ultimate slackers. All they want to do is partying and smoke a lot of dope. This movie was followed by several sequels.Highly recommended.
low budget, great film
posted on 25 Aug 2005This legendary film is possibly the best "stoners film" ever made. Most brilliant is the fact that it is clearly a low cost film, and these guys managed to make a cult out of it, both for stoners and for "normal" people. Even though there's not much of a story or plot behind it, the film is hilarious from the very fist scene. With absurd characters, exaggerated stereotypes, and clever quotes you will certainly laugh 'till you're out of breath. PS: NOT Recommended if you're a defender of the "no drugs" morality and/or if you are someone who always expects to get a message out of films. PS#2: definitively NOT Recommended to bring in your parents, your children or a prospect to watch it together, hahhaha
Stonertasitc
posted on 29 Jun 2005Potheads rejoice! This is a funny as hell movie full of stoner's, pot jokes and awesomeness. I love the dope van (a van made of dope!). Funny. I may just quote some dialog. I didn't know your name was Alex! My dog ate my stash! Its got Labrador in it! Funny stuff. If you do drugs you'll definitely love this film, if not you'll still love it. It's actually pretty well made! Low Budget classic and a movie you'll love if you have a sense of humor. A definite watch and a great way to spend your time laughing at those two legends, Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin.8/10
It will always make me laugh.
posted on 27 Apr 2005I first saw this movie when I was 12 I didn't think much of it cause i didn't really like movies that much back then. But now I watch and it's really funny especially the scene with the 1/4 pounder (insider). And I don't just like it because of all the pot mostly Pedro reaction to the acid. It's very funny I highly recommend for ages 14 and up (but don't show your parents).
Another one of the funniest films of the 1970's
posted on 18 Apr 2005This 1979 Paramount release introduced the controversial radio comedians Richard "Cheech" Marin and Thomas Chong to the screen for the first of six major film teamings and cameos together in several other films. This first teaming is the best teaming. The duo portray stoners who travel together on a road trip down to Tijuana on a mission to pick up a fresh new drug supply. However, they're being pursued by frantic cops all the way. A cult spoof classic and a film that began a new kind of wacky film comedy.
Hilarious moments, and yet...
posted on 31 Aug 2009This movie starts out brilliant and has some of the funniest gags ever filmed. And yet I was dying for it to end and turned it off for days at a time. Don't get me wrong, I love stoner characters and have a fond memory of those times. And don't get me started on the nonsensical and draconian "War on Drugs."Ultimately, there are just too many long stretches of dumb dialog, pointless action, and missed opportunities. It's a tough one to rate, but I'm being generous at 6/10, just for the sight of that police dog...
