    Cheech & Chong's Next Movie is a classic stoner comedy that delivers good laughs. This is a must see film for Cheech & Chong fans. The film is a good comedy for what it is. The film is the perfect film to watch with friends and is mindless fun from start to finish. I enjoyed the ... read morefilm for what it was, and I think it's one of the duo's better films. If you love this type of humor, then check this film out. This film manages to bring on good laughs, but it's also a very silly/stupid type of humor. Sometimes, it's good to watch a mindless comedy like this. The acting is so-so, but there's an enjoyable quality about this film that makes it a must see for genre fans. Cheech & Chong have made some of the most memorable stoner flicks around, and this is the case with Cheech & Chong's Next Movie. The film is simplistic, but it also proves that you don't need an elaborate plot to create a funny comedy. I found this film to be a good enough film to watch with a good gang of friends. The film is quite underrated and if you love these types of comedies, then you'll enjoy this film. Although not as great or refined as The Big Lebowski, this film is still a classic of the stoner genre. Worth seeing if you're into these types of films. This film is a mindless, fun comedy definitely not meant to be taken seriously. This is good fun from start to finish, even if the film doesn't a consistent structure.

    Not nearly as good as Up in Smoke but still pretty funny.

    Next movie is Cheech and Chong's next movie after the classic up in smoke. The film sort of has a plot about marijuana I think and a cameo from Pee Wee Herman. The only thing this film does is prove to everyone that Tommy Chong should never be allowed to direct. It's that much of... read more a mess and should be a warning for any aspiring directors to just say no or this is the film you'll get.

    Funnier than the first one but more unsctructured. I like the title almost as much as the title to Airplane 2 - "The sequel".

    My least favorite of the cheech and chong movies but its still decent enough. Funny cameo's by certain character actors make this a winner. The drugs are kinda here and there with this one.

    second film to "cheech & chong" movie again with starring cheech & chong. one of the funniest i saw in the opening scene. cheech marin play a dual-role as himself and the cheech's character cousin dwayne "red" mendoza. tommy chong made a director in "next movie". starring paul "p... read moreee-wee" reuben (i seen him appear in "the blues brothers" but he also appear starring in next cheech & chong's film "nice dream") is the 2 part and also he one is wearing dresses up pee-wee herman. and the starring evelyn guerrero role as donna and she in appear in few of "cheech & chong" film. i'll remember i didnt recognize an actor michael winslow (he did appear in cheech & chong's "nice dream") with an strange voice from the "police academy" series. this one of the great animated cheech & chong before of the end credit.

    I've seen this, but they all kind of run together after a while. I suppose if you like one Cheech and Chong movie, you'll like any of them.

    This one seems much sillier than the others I've seen. Noteworthy for introducing the Pee-Wee Herman character to the big screen.

    Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights,
    they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie too.

    Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and Chima
    and have a son in law named jeff.

    Mexican Americans don't like to get up early in the morning
    but they... read more have to so they do it real slow.

    Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school
    and they take spanish and get a B.

    Mexican Americans love their Nana's and their Nono's and their
    Nena's and their Neno's........ Nano Nano Nena Nono!

    Mexican Americans don't like to go to the movies where the
    dude has to wear contact lenses to make his blue eyes brown
    cause don't it make my brown eyes blue.....
