Still Smokin (1983)

Perfect cast and a good story

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Cheech (Cheech Marin) and Chong (Tommy Chong) arrive in Amsterdam to attend a film festival. The organizer was actually expecting Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. The festival funding has been stolen and nobody there knows Cheech & Chong. The guys have a wacky European adventure.The movie needs a McGuffin. They need to go on a road trip or something. E.T. is kinda fun but it's a rare laugh. The amateur movie bit has limitations. It's a movie struggling to find a point. For a Cheech & Chong movie in Amsterdam, it could do with a lot more smoking. It doesn't have enough which leaves the meandering pointless. The duo does fantasy skits which are rarely funny and mostly boring (unless you're doing the smoking for C&C). This may be good for fans but not many others.

Okay, so we start off with Cheech and Chong being mistaken for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. They are escorted to Amsterdam too attend a film festival. Eventually, the people realize that Cheech and Chong are not Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. The man who operates the festival is ruined and threatens to kill himself, so Cheech and Chong plan to host a "Dope-a-Thon" to set things straight. A simple enough plot, right? Too simple. So simple, the filmmakers had to add seemingly pointless skits and 20 minutes of Cheech and Chong concert footage to pad it out. Seriously, if you took out the random skits and concert footage, you would have a film that is about 15 minutes long. The film starts out okay, but with more and more skits as we go, it feels more like a bad episode of Mad TV, rather than an actual movie,and it all just seems weird. Now, the skits and concert footage is funny, but still awful. One can obviously tell this movie was thrown together simply to make some extra money for Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. The plot is so weak, they couldn't even figure out a way to film a proper ending, hence the 20 minutes of concert footage I mentioned before. See Up in Smoke instead.

Two stoners named Cheech and Chong are invited to a Dutch film festival by mistake. Hmm... can you guess what stoners do in the Netherlands? Well, apart from being the most idiotic and stupid of the Cheech and Chong movies, this film does stand up pretty well compared to some of todays dope-movies. What it lacks in plot it makes up for with the hilarious sketches at the end(best part of the movie, no matter what anyone says). Some of the sketches are a little sick, so this film isn't for the easily offended. This film is pretty funny, although it has no plot which drags it down a bit. 7 out of 10.
