Cheech & Chong's Next Movie is a classic stoner comedy that delivers good laughs. This is a must see film for Cheech & Chong fans. The film is a good comedy for what it is. The film is the perfect film to watch with friends and is mindless fun from start to finish. I enjoyed the film for what it was, and I think it's one of the duo's better films. If you love this type of humor, then check this film out. This film manages to bring on good laughs, but it's also a very silly/stupid type of humor. Sometimes, it's good to watch a mindless comedy like this. The acting is so-so, but there's an enjoyable quality about this film that makes it a must see for genre fans. Cheech & Chong have made some of the most memorable stoner flicks around, and this is the case with Cheech & Chong's Next Movie. The film is simplistic, but it also proves that you don't need an elaborate plot to create a funny comedy. I found this film to be a good enough film to watch with a good gang of friends. The film is quite underrated and if you love these types of comedies, then you'll enjoy this film. Although not as great or refined as The Big Lebowski, this film is still a classic of the stoner genre. Worth seeing if you're into these types of films. This film is a mindless, fun comedy definitely not meant to be taken seriously. This is good fun from start to finish, even if the film doesn't a consistent structure.

Not nearly as good as Up in Smoke but still pretty funny.

Next movie is Cheech and Chong's next movie after the classic up in smoke. The film sort of has a plot about marijuana I think and a cameo from Pee Wee Herman. The only thing this film does is prove to everyone that Tommy Chong should never be allowed to direct. It's that much of a mess and should be a warning for any aspiring directors to just say no or this is the film you'll get.

Funnier than the first one but more unsctructured. I like the title almost as much as the title to Airplane 2 - "The sequel".
