Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Cheech & Chong's Next Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy None of the comedy team's subsequent starring vehicles quite matched the good vibes of Up in Smoke, although their sophomore film, Cheech and Chong's Next Movie, probably came closest.

thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, depois do 1 Filme, Cheng e chong voltam, e continuam com suas loucuras, como a cena Do começo que os dois pegam um latão de lixo cheio de gasolina e despejam no tanque do carros deles, de resto o filme não teve nada demais, e o elenco quase não ajudou em porra nenhuma. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Audience Member It's a weaker film than Up In Smoke, but it's still hilarious. It plays more like a sketch comedy, with the pair performing bits from their comedy act, rather than going through a conventional plot. So it feels less a little more disjointed to me for that reason. But it doesn't make it any less fun, there's some great bits here. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Funny LOLing, with the best cast ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Just as great as "Up in Smoke", I loved how it had more of a "day in the life" feel to it than "Up in Smoke", I liked seeing the additions of Donna and Pee Wee Herman, sadly this would be Cheech & Chong's last great film, highly recommended if you like watching stoner comedies or feelgood films. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as Up in Smoke, but still a solid Cheech and Chong film with some hilarious moments and a good story. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member What the flip did I just watch? I'll say the same thing I said about the first movie. This movie would be somewhat enjoyable if I was high. I will say that this movie was slightly more interesting than the original.
