 | I liked this movie alot and I have seen it about 20 times. It is just laid back and does not take a lot to follow it.
From the point where they sell there weed out of there old Ice Cream truck and are followed by cops and Sgt Stedanko who a couple years earlier was a serious cop and now makes bust to get the weed.Then they get some weed from Jimmy's house. Then they find out they made 17 million from the deals and celebrate and by goibg out to eat. There is a lady who things chong is Jerry Garcia. Then a Ex girlfriend of Cheech is there with Hamberger dude(Pee Wee Herman)and they do coke. After this She along with Cheech and Chong go back to the hotel for a 3 way.
Then her Husband a convict that escaped comes to beat up and Cheech escapes naked and goes up and down a elevator shaft.When they finally get out Cheech finds out Chong gave Hamberger dude all the money and they look for him at Casa Del Wacko's. |

| I'd never seen this one before, been hanging out to tho. It's fianlly been released in Australia and it comes with absolutly nothing but the movie: not even a trailer!
The movie is typical Cheech & Chong stoner humor. They go from selling drugs to trying to get there money back they made from it, but I got the impression that Nice Dreams would mean they where gonnah be doing a bunch of sketches in there dreams as they laid passed out stoned, but it turned out to be the name of there Ice Cream truck they use to deliver the dope in.
The humor is ok, ut's not the best of the C&C series, but it's OK in my book. Tho, if -Columbian-Tri-Hards are going to release DVD's with nothing else on them, then why not put 2 or 3 movies on one disc and make it a double feature? This one would have been good with there other columbian release "Things Are Tough All Over". And Universal should put "Get Out of my room" on the "Next Movie" DVD as a bonus feature.
These movies companys just ignore the Cheech & Chong franshicse, it's a shame they give no attention to these yet pack a useless movie like Leagelly Blonde into a 2 disc special edition, not to mention it's the first edition released.. then when it flops, make a sequel.
Man, I hope C&C get back together to make a new Cheech & Chong movie, we need more comedys like these that you actualy wanna go and see. |

| I recently bought this movie after reading the reviews on Amazon but I ended up being disappointed...despite Chicken Man's best efforts. My main grumble is the inactivity of Sgt. Stedanko. All he does in this movie is smoke pot, mumble aimlessly and then turn into a lizard!! Things are much better when he's clear-headed and on the case. There are some redeeming moments in the film, namely the mental asylum scenes (where we meet Chicken Man) and also the Chinese restaurant madness...oh (...) However, the rest of the movie just ambles along. I think the only funny moment in the first half of the movie is when we see a lizard smoking pot. In fact I think Mr Chong was suffering from a strange fascination with these reptiles and unfortunately lost all focus on making a good movie. OK man. |

| Cheech and Chong look like they had a lot of fun filming "Nice Dreams" with their comedic friends. I've seen it at least ten times and I still find something I missed during previous viewings. I always laugh when I see the redheaded Chicken Man, or Cheech scooting around a padded cell in a straight jacket asking for someone to relieve an itch, and especially Michael Winslow's Jimi Hendrix routine. Don't expect a real plot and you won't be disappointed. |

| Nostalgia for my childhood recently caused me to buy and watch the Cheech and Chong movies (with the exception of The Coriscan Brothers). Aside from realizing I shouldn't have been watching those movies in my pre-teen days, I realized how well done they are. Most amazing to me was that they held up one after the other, feeling not repetitive, though each of them is rather episodic. Most impressive was Chong's direction; he makes a number of interesting choices that elevate him beyond the status of writer/star who has enough power to direct; clearly, he took this role quite seriously. The movies, of course, are not serious. I rarely laugh out loud in movies these days, but I did at least a half dozen times in each of these. The characters are not only given funny situations in which to work and funny lines to deliver, but each of them is presented with a kind of earnestness that makes them likeable, and the films all he more watchable. |
