(
It is already Friday, so we need some party-movie for the weekend!
Hey, maaaan, what could be better than a cult classic from 1978, Cheech and chong up in Smoke! Maaaan! Lit up those joints!
These two guys were the pioneers of the weed influenced comedies, the champions of stoner movies, just like later Harold and Kumar, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill. Or Method Man and Redman in How High. But it was back in the 70's. Nobody joked with weed! Maybe Jack Nicholson.
So this is a fascinating movie, looks like a road trip, about two unemployed guys, who met accidently and from then it is a rollercoaster.
They get high, shoot off to Tijuana, coming back, decide to go to the Battle of the Bands, because they can play on guitar and drum )sort of).
There is everything from drug smuggling to political jokes and this movie just keeps on rolling. And can they win the contest? You can never imagine!
Roll a joint now and watch this movie, and maybe you will like Cheech and Chong and watch all of their movies, together they played in 7, or watch their comedy nights on youtube.
Some interesting hints from imdb.com:
The car that Chong drives at the beginning of the movie is actually owned by Jack Nicholson.
The film uses the word "man" 295 times; 212 of those happen before Cheech and Chong reach the border.
