It's not easy to figure out how to rate a movie like this, so I decided to rate it based purely on my opinion of its "laugh factor." I've seen this and "Next Movie," but not "Up in Smoke." In my opinion, this one is the funnier of the two. It is definitely zanier and more over-the-top (not to mention just plain weird), but the jokes are funnier and (unlike "Next Movie") it has something of a plot. Some of the scenes are real classics, like the "chicken guy" in the nuthouse, Cheech's inability to scratch, Jimmy's reaction to the light bulb in the police station, and others.
I enjoyed both this one and "Next Movie" but have to say this is the better of the two in my opinion. One of these days I'll rent "Up in Smoke" as well. These films were made when I was in High School and I've enjoyed the occasional viewing through the years... although I'm not a stoner, it's still easy to enjoy this kind of silly humor.
