Let me start by saying that this movie is completely ridiculous. This could be good or bad depending on your state of mind. This is definitely a stoners-only movie, and even then there are some scenes that are appalling. So, basically, don't watch this movie if you don't like marijuana. Because you will hate it even more after watching "Next Movie".I say this because, despite of the (initial) PC message in relation to hard drugs, the movie continuously portray C&C causing havoc and chaos in the 'square' society and not giving a damn. In fact, everyone in the movie except for Cheech and Chong is pretty much non-existent. Regular laws do not apply. This reminded me of my favorite stoner movie of all time, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, in some ways - but not the good ones. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate this movie, and there ARE some laugh-out-loud moments indeed. But throughout it all I just got the feeling that instead of being funny stoners, they were being anarchist troublemakers. I don't think that's a good image for stoners at all. So, since most of the movie is based on gags that revolve around this, I didn't find much of it funny. And I usually like stoner movies.Now believe me when I say, you have to be completely blasted to sit through this. Because the whole movie itself seems like a dream. There are some very cringeworthy moments in the movie, and most of them courtesy of Cheech. Actually his portrayal of his cousin was much funnier than as himself, so that helped a bit. And mad propz to him for making that saxophone sound! Chong is a bit more interesting, civilized and leveled character, and the best scenes all involve him. Pee-Wee Herman makes an appearance, and well, he's Pee-Wee. And the ending... let's just say it sucked. A lot. Except if you're 12, then it's a real cool ending. So it all depends on your point of view really.I guess this is a movie to be enjoyed really really wasted, when you don't want to think at all, and with stoned friends who might have seen it before a couple of times. A good day to see this would be when you're hungover from the night before. The only problem is, your night will probably have been more fun than this movie.Up in Smoke is a lot better, this is for C&C aficionados only. 5/10, and I'm being nice.

A typical romp through Cheech and Chong's reality which includes drugs, singing, more drugs, cars and driving, even more drugs, Pee Wee, aliens, gasoline, laundry, stand up comedy, surprisingly more drugs and SPACE COKE !!. It is not as coherent or plausible as Up in Smoke but it still is incredibly funny, without becoming as strange as Nice Dreams. There are some classic scenes, which include the opening scene where they get some gas for their car and the drive to work. Also funny is Cheech's song (Mexican-Americans) and Chong's follow up song. Another notable scene is the welfare office scene with Jones (human noise machine), from the Police Academy series, and the old laughing man. All in all, this is a great follow up to Up in Smoke and is quite watchable when sober or not.-Celluloid Rehab

This was stupid funny movie.. Cheech and Chong are the dopiest wasted guys ever... i rate this film a 7.. but if you like this one then go see Jay and Silentbob! There funnier and crazier. Now Cheech is a sellout working on kids movies..... wheres chong?

Cheech and Chong are back but this time as themselves not as Pedro DePacas and Man. Paul Ruebens a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman also stars in this film. Cheech also plays his redheaded wild eyed loud and noisy Cousin Red who takes Chong a really wild night through Downtown Los Angeles. Cheech and Chong gave it there best shot with this film but did not hit hit the bullseye. If you look at the neighborhood that Cheech and Chong live in during the day shots you will notice that it is none other than the Universal Studios backlot. The house they live in is the house from Black and White movie classic "To Kill a Mockingbird". Paul Ruebens plays a stuckup snobby Hotel Clerk who at night becomes comedian Pee Wee Herman. The big bag of weed storyline got changed for Comedy Central tv and the new storyline is a big bag of diamonds that aliens come to Earth for, therefore figuring in the U.F.O. scenario at the end of the movie in the Marijuana field. Look for a small appearance by black comedian Michael Winslow before he starred in those Police Academy movies. His sound effects routine in the Welfare Office keeps this movie laughable. Anyway thats about all I can say about Next Movie except that it could have been better if C&C stuck with Pedro and Man.
