Get Out of My Room

This movie is a mix of music video clips (some that were shown on TV at the time of it's creation) and interviews with the boys.The interviews are funny in a weird sort of way and very easy to lose the plot of. The clips are funny and inventive. The lyrics were good and the visual entertaining. Four songs are featured they are : "Get out of my room" - The clip has Cheech as a english rock star playing a guitar shaped like a bird, whilst he is wearing shoulder pads and a viking helmut with cow horns. The clip is inside a gym that is being used by an aerobics class and some basket-ballers at the same time as the two stars are doing the video. "I'm not home right now" is run on the joke that an answering machine can't be answered because of various actions happening on screen. "Love is Strange" features aliens watching the boys do silly things on screen. "Born in East LA" is the best of the four and has Cheech sent over the Mexican border and getting back.

Not a bad show but not really what you'd expect if you had wanted "Up in Smoke" or "Nice Dreams".

Cheech and Chong's Get Out of My Room is the last thing the duo wrote, directed, produced and composed together (not acted though, they have teamed up in After Hours, Ferngully, Far Out Man, an episode of Nash Bridges and a very memorable and funny episode of South Park). And while this is the type of film that might let down those C & C fans that always toke up before the film (to say this critic does that would be incriminating, but just to save face I'll just say I know where you C & C fans are coming from), it is still funny. Sure not as funny as the triumphs Things Are Tough All Over, Nice Dreams, the uncompromising Up in Smoke and even the very worthy effort Next Movie, but it is still a trying and satirical approach to music videos that accomplishes it's task for all those about to watch. Really big flaw is that it is a set-up to be made fun (actually, Beavis and Butt-head did that already). Various stars make cameos in Spinal Tap style documentary between videos; Born In East L.A. is the definitive brainchild of Cheech. B

The film definitely feels like a behind the scene documentary of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong. It's a very random movie - random things going on. I like it - it's different. Not the duo's best, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Get out of my room is not a stage comedy act, nor is it one of the feature films. A few of their insane songs are sung in this crazy movie.

I will say this is a film for diehard Cheech and Chong fans - it's not something for the general audiences.

Watch the movie if you like Cheech and Chong - otherwise pass on this one.

Pairs well with any of Cheech and Chong's movies.

8/10.

Cheech and Chong made a handful of rambling hysterical movies, many featuring unknown actors who later became famous (PeeWee Herman for one).

This is not one of them.

In fact, for the most part, this movie appears to be totally adlibbed with more misses than a Miss America pageant.

I guess they lost their mojo somewhere along the way.

To be fair, this film is something of a vehicle that wraps around four songs they were releasing. They don't write good songs either.

I counted only one funny line in the entire thing. It doesn't work in print because you need the visual. It's a scene where Cheech is talking to this guy and asks him how much he makes. He says, "Four dollars a day, but it's alright, man. No one else will hire me because I don't have an upper lip."

A mock documentary filmed mostly in and around Los Angeles with interviews of Cheech and Chong interspersed between four videos of songs from their last album. Songs include: "Get Outta My Room" and "Born in East LA".

I liked Cheech being British, did not like that this was their last movie together... and overall felt this was a bit weak. Some of the segments were funny and the songs are alright, but it never really came together as a coherent story and was more like a way to just fill an hour.

Maybe I am expecting too much from these guys, but I would have liked to see more of a full movie with just the songs incorporated into the plot or something along those lines...
