A nightmare, 12 November 1998
Author: Tito-8 from North Bay, Ontario

This is a typically weak C&C vehicle, with the expected doses of idiotic humour and drug use. However, this film really hits rock bottom thanks to the scenes involving Stacy Keach and Paul Reubens...they drag it down to a pathetic level that is not often seen in the movies. Unfortunately, the blame for this should go right back to Cheech and Chong, for even though their characters aren't quite as annoying as Keach or Reubens, they were the ones who wrote this mess.
