Cheech & Chong's Last Movie

I grew up a fan of Cheech and Chong, My parents had the some original albums and I had several of the cassette tapes as a teen. Their comedy is timeless and this is a beautiful story about their crazy journey together. You don't have to be a stoner to enjoy Cheech and Chong's comedy, but it doesn't hurt either! They both take turns telling how everything happened, where they were from, their life as kids, about their parents and what life was like growing up. The things in their lives that led them to find each other and create such an iconic duo. All the good times to all the not so good times, the things that pushed them apart all the way back to them coming together to tell us all about it.

Director David Bushell does a terrific job with "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie". Bushell tells C&C's story in a fresh way. It's funny throughout. It's a great journey as it builds up to a true behind-the-curtain moment. I've read a few reviews that said that "Last Movie" is too long. I disagree. I would have liked it to go on longer. "Last Movie" is a great watch for any fan of Cheech & Chong. It would also be a good watch for anyone interested in seeing a movie about a long term relationship, whether in entertainment or not. If "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie" doesn't win the Oscar for Best Documentary, I won't know what to say. (I saw this movie at AMC Raceway, Westbury, NY.)

The fame that is Cheech & Chong was slightly before me. I'm aware of Cheech Marin, who, as an actor, I was aware of from my childhood, starting with his film Born in East LA, so for me, the film was most interesting from the standpoint of Tommy Chong, who, from my perspective, was just Rae Dawn Chong's father.

Both of them had pretty interesting lives before meeting one another and starting the comedy duo. Lives that I thought were more interesting than the comedy team-up As far as docs go overall this was two interesting men with a great story to tell and worth paying attention to even if you are not familiar with their iconic turn in comedy.

I'm 54 years old and have multiple Cheech and Chong albums, I may have stole them from my Hells Angle father, but they are quality productions. Cheech and Chong have been played and replayed in my in my broken home for years as a youth, they are still laugh out loud funny. Let's talk about this new movie. I loved it. The documentary style format is supercalafragislistticexpealladocious. I was with them the whole time. I felt so much because I listened to everyone's of their albums to many times to mention. I wanted to be in movies in some way because of the albums and their movies, but I digress. This movie is top notch. I brought me in, kept me there, intrigued me, stimulated me, and made me laugh cause in know the bits. I love these guys. I'm so happy the crew made this movie. There were several instances that brought me to extreme emotion, I know. You too are the Bomb. Cheech and Chong is a staple, as a once wanna be actor, I wish I could achieve the impact you both did. Please if you read this, WATCH this movie. You will fall in love if you don't know. If you know, you will feel the things and emotions I experienced. Go see this you won't be disappointed. Brady.

This film is a very personal document about fun, smoking weed, friendship, talent, success, and the downfall that came with it. But what stuck with me the most was the brutal honesty and forgiveness that made the journey of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's life together come full circle.

They never backed away from painful confrontations with each other, which at times makes it awkward to watch - but in the end, it explains exactly what happened to their relationship, which was very much like a marriage.

The often brilliantly funny footage shown brought back many memories from my past as a big fan, and it also helped put together a lot of the missing pieces of the puzzle - like why some of their films became hilarious classics while others simply didn't work.

It all came down to the stage of life they were in at that moment. This film tells the story of friendship of two guys I care about a lot.
