Not their best, not their worst., 28 October 2002
Author: joey_enns_ironstand from My House

I saw this movie expecting new characters (because that was what was advertised) and a lot of pot humor. The new characters? Yes. The pot humor? No. There's some drug humor but not much.

I'm not saying it's a bad movie because there's no pot humor. I'm saying that it's a different kind of movie. But it still was pretty funny. I'll say for sure that it was no worse than "Nice Dreams". It wasn't "Up In Smoke" or "Cheech & Chong's Next Movie", but it still was pretty good.

I'd also say that the new characters were pretty funny. If you were getting tired of their "Horny-Mexican"/"Stoned Hippie" routine you might get a kick out of their new one.

So all in all, I'd say it was worth some laughs. Cheech & Chong fans will probably enjoy it.

*** out of *****.

Rated R for language and some drug humor.
