 | The wheels come off the C&C fun machine.

Movie rates 1 star; DVD transfer rates 3 stars.
I was a big fan of C&C, and their first two movies were some of the funniest of the era. Unfortunately, it appears the "empty suits" running the studios thought they could do humor better that Cheech and Chong.
This movie really proves that a central plot is vital for any film. Our boys find themselves in Amsterdam and basically are pushed through a series of disjointed sub-plots, actually sight gags, that are non-original and decidedly unfunny. Cheech and Chong are the funny elements in their movies; here, they are nothing but witnesses to silliness. The unconnected nature of the gags leave you wondering what the heck is going on.
Sad to say, the C&C heyday is over. Why take them out of So. California? Better than any comedians filming So. California, C&C knew their turf; a lot of their humor came as spoofs of the 1970's SoCal culture. If you love the boys, skip this movie.

Acceptable movie

Well, I got to admit it is not the best movie from these guys.
Lucky for me that I friend of mine bought from me. Didn't like very much...

Barely OK....
rating: 2
This is not a particularly good movie, even for die hard Cheech and Chong fans. I really like their first 4 films, and this one starts out pretty well. It has that slow, leisurely feel that the other Tommy Chong directed films do, and some of the scenes are hilarious, but it's a cheat at the end, where they just fill out the film with a 20 minute concert. While much of the concert footage is good, it feels tacked on. Cheech and Chong just wanted to pad their film out to a feature length running time with it. There are some surreal moments in the film, which makes it interesting, but overall it's really disappointing because of how they just seem to quit at the end of the film. It's really lazy, haphazard, and just plain unprofessional.

Another great Cheech & Chong film
rating: 4
Not as good as the first one, but still pretty funny. As far as I can tell, there's not a whole lot of plot happening. But it's a great movie all the same. I really enjoyed it.
