Sure, its no "smoke", but it is still a "slow", but entertaining movie.

I first watched this movie when I was 14. I did not like it one bit. I rented this movie with the intentions of it being like "Up in Smoke" or the rest of their previous movies. To my surprise it was different and I returned it immediately. I watched this movie again at the age of 26 and loved it!! I was in bed and came on t.v. Not only did I watch every bit of it, but I went out the next saturday and rented it to watch it again. I'm now actually looking for it on DVD now. It's a must have for my collection, along with all the other Cheech and Chong movies. Everything from Cheech returning home dressed as a Mexican charro, to an airheaded queen, to a dominatrix/perverted royal guard was absolutely funny. I guess it's one of those that grows on you. It sure grew on me.
