Okay...here are my comments regarding a lot of the other reviews. The people who gave it very few stars and didn't find it that funny, obviously must be either (a) very young; or (b) haven't heard Cheech & Chong's records (before they even made movies).
The plot isn't that terrific (Cheech and Chong get mistaken for Burt Reynold's and Dolly Parton in Amsterdam). But that is not what carries the movie. What carries the movie is that they do a lot of their old skits from their records ("Hey Margaret", "Let's Make a Dope Deal"; "Blind Melon Chitlin'", etc).
People have to remember that before "Up in Smoke" (fairly funny) and "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie" (pretty hilarious), they had put out a bunch of album's that were genuinely funny. So to see them do the skits from their old records brought back fond memories that people could do humor through vinyl (yes, they were on LP's and 8-tracks way back then).
It also had some of the most terrific skits (like "Queer Wars" - with Luke Streetwalker and his faithful companion, Dougie) that had some of the best jokes around:
"You just want to go to the Emperor's Ball to see that Hans Solo...... Hans Solo you don't know what their doing!!!!"
Priceless stuff.
I guess if some of the reviewer's heard Cheech and Chong's very early works, they might have given this movie a higher review.
