Up in Smoke (1978)

Up in Smoke is a 1970s stoner comedy and Cheech & Chong's best known film. It helps if you are stoned when you watch the movie.

Tommy Chong appropriately plays a character called Anthony Stoner. A slacker whose dad wants to send to military school if he does not get a job. Stoner drives off and meets Pedro de Pacas (Cheech Marin) another dope smoker.

Somehow they try to evade the arrests, get deported to Mexico and return back to the USA in a van entirely made out of marijuana as the cops try to to get hold of them.

The duo end up in a concert battle of the bands as their van starts to smoke its fumes in the venue.

There are some laughs, such as the stoned out sniffer dog on its back. It is too loosely structured and meandering to be absolutely spliffing.
