Review of Nice Dreams

Nice Dreams (1981)
5/10
Who smoked up the script?
6 June 2005
This is the only Cheech & Chong comedy I've seen so far, so I can't judge it against their other works, but if you took out the drug references and the brief nudity and replaced them with a few fight scenes, I'd put it on the level of a lesser Bud Spencer & Terence Hill comedy (like for example "All The Way, Boys!"): amiable enough, but one laugh per half an hour is not exactly a good enough average to justify a rental, is it? This movie is too raunchy for kids, too obvious for adults, too scriptless for anyone. There is an interesting surreal, hallucinogenic sequence that is too short, and a role for Pee-Wee Herman that is short but still too long. Cheech himself sums it all up when he says "Ha Ha! That's very funny, man. It's so funny I forgot to laugh". (**)
