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. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

For its age, it's still quite a good comedy. What's striking is that someone was able to make something like that back then, and since then, this very specific genre hasn't really evolved. That duo is the right one, and it's truly possible to root for them as much as it is to detest them. I laughed quite a bit in places, which is what I was hoping for.
