Cheech & Chong reloaded, 19 April 2009
8/10
Author: kosmasp

I watched the movie at Sneak Preview, so I haven't seen the unrated DVD/Blu Ray cut yet. Still even that version, was pretty grim and a movie that will not appeal to people that get grossed out easily. I haven't seen "Cheech & Chong" in a while, but I do feel it has the same feeling.

The movie begins with a bang/laugh and you can tell right there at that instance if you will like the movie or not. If you think the intro to the movie isn't good/funny, than you won't enjoy the rest of it. At least not as much. I could tell by the audience reaction. Some did laugh at the beginning and those that didn't, weren't amused along the ride either.

The movie walks a very thin line and doesn't care, if it walks all over the place. But even in it's weirdest moments or when it's completely off-balance, it still is kinda fun. At least that's how I felt! :o)
