Cheech & Chong: Fazendo Fumaça

Now this is funny, man. It's great to finally watch a comedy that actually made me laugh and smile to the credits. Why the insanely low score? There must be a lot of narcs without a sense of humor, man.

I'm a big Cheech and Chong fan. No, I wasn't high when I watched this. In fact, I was totally sober. The super raunchy humor was enough to get me slant eyed. Even my wife, who had never seen a C&C flick, cracked up. But, really, this one is mainly for the hardcore fans.

The only thing that bummed out this movie was the stiff animation. It made everyone seem like robot stoners. The colors were bright and pleasing to the (bloodshot) eyes. They really should have opted for an animation team that could have matched the physical comedy to the voices. Regardless, I had a blast watching this. Grab your best buds and have a groovy time, man.

'CHEECH & CHONG'S ANIMATED MOVIE': Four Stars (Out of Five)

Just in time for 4/20 the popular stoner comedy duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are back with their first movie together in 29 years (since 1984's 'THE CORSICAN BROTHERS') and their first animated flick ever. It's really just a bunch of their old comedy skits (from their comedy albums) done to animation. For fans of the duo it's nothing new really but I'm not that familiar with their work. It's embarrassing to admit, being a film nut, but I've never seen one of their film's all the way through (I've been meaning to go back and watch them for years now) and have only seen pieces of them years ago. I've also never heard one of their albums so for me the material was all fresh and funny. People that know the classic stoner duo's material well might be disappointed that it's all old stuff but I liked it and liked the film as well.

Cheech and Chong do all of the voices in the movie playing out bits from their grammy winning comedy albums like "Dave's not here, man", "Let's Make a Dope Deal" and "Sister Mary Elephant". It's all written by the duo and directed by Branden Chamers and Eric D. Chambers. The skits are portrayed in a really 'old school' cartoon fashion (which is pretty cool in my opinion). The soundtrack also features nine new songs by Cheech & Chong.

The duo is legendary, so to some, this film lacking anything new (other than the music) might disappoint but it seems like it could still be good nostalgic fun. I loved the classic old fashioned animation and the comedy was refreshingly different than other stoner flicks out there right now. The comedy team is most famous for spoofing the stoner stereotype perfectly and has been criticized by some for perpetuating it. Anyone nowadays should be educated enough to know that marijuana users don't generally act like this in reality. It's an exaggerated joke, which happens to be really funny. I really enjoyed this movie even if it has nothing new to offer; it was new to me.

....with somewhat disappointing execution. I was really looking forward to this, being a fan of the many "Cheech & Chong" comedy albums, and was excited to see/hear such classics as "Dave's Not Here" and "Sister Mary Elephant". This is a difficult movie to review because while it is extremely funny....it's not very well made. at all. The various bits from the comedy albums are just as funny now as the first time you've heard them, but they don't really flow together in any form of a cohesive narrative. Also the animation is extremely lacking. I expected better, but don't let the negative attributes steer you away, there is still a lot to enjoy here, just not as much as I was (personally) hoping for. 6/10 - average.

I have watched and re-watched ALL of the cheech and chong movies probably about 100 times over in my life, and each time it puts me in the best mood when ever i want to have a smoke, or even when I'm sober. These guys are stoner comedy GENIUSES, the original and the BEST, and this latest addition to their series over 20 years later is still just as funny as all of the originals.

Don't listen to the other reviews, they are all from people that don't appreciate these two amazing human beings for their true comedy magic. I rate this 10/10, hands down awesome. Sure there are some jokes used from the older movies, but that is what makes it so awesome giving the viewer an awesome reminder of what has been and what is now. Keep up the great work guys, don't let a stupid review website get you down!

You have to be high to actually enjoy this one. Just saying.
