The funniest of all the Cheech and Chong movies, Up in Smoke provides a feast of gags for the sympathetically minded.

What's lacking in Up in Smoke is a cohesiveness in both humor and characterization.

Top Critic Director Lou Adler (the record producer) finds a few chuckles, but mostly it's amateur night.

Top Critic Arguably one of the funniest Cheech and Chong movies, the weed comedy was dismissed by most critics (and parents) but it was embraced by young viewers and launched the subgenre of "stoner" comedies way before Linklater made Slacker and Dazed & Confused.

As far as comedic ingredients go, weed is not so much a surefire laugh-getter as it is a free-floating lubricant capable of setting off wicked complications.

Cheech & Chong had their act down pat by '78 and turned out to be a natural movie-comedy team.

As the most fun comes not from watching the movie but from recalling great lines later, it would seem that the audio success of C & C has not translated too well into visuals.

Up in Smoke is the world's most revered -- and most idiotic -- drug movie.

A cult drug movie that lacks decent acting, script or direction.

The duo wrote the genial script about the never-ending search for great pot, and a good supporting cast co-stars.

The boys first, and still their best, foray into cinematic stonededness.
