Here, the dope-smoking duo are working on an ice-cream truck, and their specially treated confections are more than just a hit for the kids. Nice Dreams is the third in the series. ~ John Bush, Rovi

    Quite literally a homegrown production but w/o the bud-high needed to perhaps make this as funny as is intended. Lots of celebrity cameos though. Mainly I felt embarrassed for my younger days: "I useta think THESE guys were cool?!?"

    Chong's directorial debut is a pretty good one and stays in tone and pace of their first movie.

    I've always been the most fond of this one rather than the others.

    Your usual Cheech and Chong movie. I always thought they were mildly funny.
  • October 8, 2008
    Typical Cheech and Chong stoner flick. This thing aged as well as Mickey Rourke.

    My expectations on Cheech and Chong's third movie was high because I enjoyed the first two. Unfortunately this one is really bad and barely made me laugh at all. They must have been clean and sober when making this.

    My favorite of the Cheech and Chong movies. Paul Reubens aka. Pee Wee Herman plays a coke head to great comedic effect. Another so stupid its funny drug movie, thus making it pro.
