Review of Up in Smoke

Up in Smoke (1978)
7/10
I feel guilty for enjoying this MAN!!!
13 June 2006
I would not like to praise a movie that encourages the use of drugs. I don't want to praise a movie that starts and ends with vulgar humour. But Up In Smoke is so bloody funny! There were several scenes that had me roaring with laughter.

There is absolutely no plot so please go ahead and ignore the plot summary you may have seen on IMDb. This film is about two stoners who say "Man" 250 times in the movie and whose sole aim in life is to get high.

This is the first and as I understand the best of the Cheech and Chong movies. At various moments while enjoying the film, I was reminded of This Is Spinal Tap and The Big Lebowski, both of which I'm sure got some inspiration from this movie.

You know, I wish I could bad-mouth the juvenile humour of this film but I really did find it funny against my better judgement.
