WARNING: This film may have caused uncontrollable laughter, blurry vision, and a strange sense of euphoria. Here’s the straight dope: legendary comedians Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong toke up with infamous Director/Producer Lou Adler to deliver high-larious hijinks in their outrageous film debut. Two buds travel from Mexico to Los Angeles, unaware that the van they are driving is made entirely of marijuana. With herb in the air and the police on their trail, it’s a joint-effort adventure that sparks laughs, pushes boundaries and crosses borders. For a pipe dream come true, settle down with Up in Smoke.

For its age, it is still a pretty good comedy, but what is surprising is that someone was able to make something like this back then and since then this very specific genre hasn't evolved. That duo is quite likable and it is possible to root for them, just as it is possible to dislike them. At times, I laughed quite a bit, which is what I was hoping for.
