Here, the dope-smoking duo are working on an ice-cream truck, and their specially treated confections are more than just a hit for the kids. Nice Dreams is the third in the series. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Pot head humor best appreciated by those on high.
Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Some funny bits, but not essential C&C.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams is fashioned for the loopy minded and the laid back.

Quite literally a homegrown production but w/o the bud-high needed to perhaps make this as funny as is intended. Lots of celebrity cameos though. Mainly I felt embarrassed for my younger days: "I useta think THESE guys were cool?!?"
James A

Chong's directorial debut is a pretty good one and stays in tone and pace of their first movie.
Tim S

I've always been the most fond of this one rather than the others.
Coxxie M

hells balls yes.
Jason S

Your usual Cheech and Chong movie. I always thought they were mildly funny.
Chris G

Typical Cheech and Chong stoner flick. This thing aged as well as Mickey Rourke.
Miriam K

Pretty funny if you are toasted yourself!
Lee K

One of my fave o their movies. Hilarious
Stefan P

My expectations on Cheech and Chong's third movie was high because I enjoyed the first two. Unfortunately this one is really bad and barely made me laugh at all. They must have been clean and sober when making this.
