| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | Cheech & Chong's first cannabis comedy is also their best, a souvenir from the more carefree days before "Just Say No," when people did not feel so defensive about inhaling. In 1978, the prevailing spirit was more like "Just Say Blow." Even New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael liked it (the movie, that is), adding that it was "an exploitation slapstick comedy, rather than a family picture, such as Blazing Saddles or High Anxiety--which means that it's dirtier, wilder, and sillier." The story has to do with bumbling potheads Cheech & Chong searching for primo bud, while being tailed by a team of inept law-enforcement officers, led by Sgt. Stedenko (Stacy Keach). Sample dialogue: When a cop pulls them over to ask if they are any illegal substances in his vehicle, Cheech replies: "Not any more, man." Up in Smoke is an irresistibly silly and charming movie that--despite, or perhaps because of, the national furor over drug use--plays today like a relic from a bygone era, a sweeter, more open, more innocent period in our history. --Jim Emerson | |

| | THIS IS A PARODY, DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET IT? | |
| | This film does not advocate drug use, this film, and Cheech and Chong's act are parodies of people who do drugs. If anything it takes every stereo type of all kinds of drug users and makes fun of them. If you watch this movie again and think about what I have said you will actually think this film is even funnier than you did before. I have known most of these types of people and think this movie is halarious, one of the funniest films ever made and I do not do drugs.
| | ALL Pot and NO Plot makes this ONE DULL MOVIE! | |
| | | Campy trip back to the smoky 70s. Definitely DATED, this film has "High Times" written all over it. These guys have not much more than "pot" on their brain. All jokes lead to the same subject...dope, man! Cheech and Chong had already enjoyed celebrity as novelty song artists with several best-selling albums to their credit. This effort of "Smokin' Dope - The Movie" takes their "message" to the next level. "Up In Smoke" gave them plenty of exposure and secured a solid fandom. 25 years later, though, the laughs drop drastically on the dime-bag-scale. When I was still in high school (and I didn't give in to the smoking of anything, then or now), I may have enjoyed this sort of nonsense more. As a middle aged intellectual, I can offer only a few tired smirks. Give me Laurel & Hardy instead!**
| | A wonderful, hilarious, period piece | |
| | This movie is something of a cult classic - it captures the essence of a time & a group of people that really existed (more or less), and captures them with total hilarity. This cheech & chong movie has aged incredibly well, with the scenery & soundtracks being still perfect. If you haven't listened to cheech & chong's old cds (from their radio programs), they can be hilarious too.
| | | | This is the regioun 4 review of this disc. it may be diffrent? This great Cheech & Chong movie is most likly the best of the C&C movies! These guys had been doing this kind of act for many years on stage, and so when it came to putting this into a film, it was very easy , because they had been doing these gags for years anyway, and it was just a walk in the park to make for them! The hillarious events of the movie even cross over into the bonus features! There are a few deleted scenes that didnt make it into the movie, and its a shame they didnt, because some are funny as hell! It would be great of they made a Specihel edition directers cut and put that stuff back into the film, in Cheech Marions commentery he said that the scenes where not cut because they wernt good, they where cut just to shorten the film! and one great scene is one youd recignise from "Still Smokin" where Cheech is beeing a smartarse to an oldman (another charactor of chong) and doing the "I could be your daddy cause i used to F*** buffalo" gag! This DVD is well worth the money, and id recomend you get it with "still smokin'"
