Cheech & Chong's Last Movie

I'm 54 years old and have multiple Cheech and Chong albums, I may have stole them from my Hells Angle father, but they are quality productions. Cheech and Chong have been played and replayed in my in my broken home for years as a youth, they are still laugh out loud funny. Let's talk about this new movie. I loved it. The documentary style format is supercalafragislistticexpealladocious. I was with them the whole time. I felt so much because I listened to everyone's of their albums to many times to mention. I wanted to be in movies in some way because of the albums and their movies, but I digress. This movie is top notch. I brought me in, kept me there, intrigued me, stimulated me, and made me laugh cause in know the bits. I love these guys. I'm so happy the crew made this movie. There were several instances that brought me to extreme emotion, I know. You too are the Bomb. Cheech and Chong is a staple, as a once wanna be actor, I wish I could achieve the impact you both did. Please if you read this, WATCH this movie. You will fall in love if you don't know. If you know, you will feel the things and emotions I experienced. Go see this you won't be disappointed. Brady.

Director David Bushell does a terrific job with "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie". Bushell tells C&C's story in a fresh way. It's funny throughout. It's a great journey as it builds up to a true behind-the-curtain moment. I've read a few reviews that said that "Last Movie" is too long. I disagree. I would have liked it to go on longer. "Last Movie" is a great watch for any fan of Cheech & Chong. It would also be a good watch for anyone interested in seeing a movie about a long term relationship, whether in entertainment or not. If "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie" doesn't win the Oscar for Best Documentary, I won't know what to say. (I saw this movie at AMC Raceway, Westbury, NY.)

I was lucky enough to be invited to the showing at the DGA, It was a great trip to learn about these hilarious guys and how their careers exploded. I had no idea that Tommy Chong was Canadian AND had a club in Vancouver that did improv while strippers were on stage! Also that Cheech's dad was a LAPD cop. These guys were huge when I was a kid and their story is one that can never happen again. A comedy act opening for the Rolling Stones in front of 20,000 people? They had some magic and this movie captured a lot of it. Such a cool story told of these guys. It was a really fun movie that flowed well beginning to end.

Cheech and Chong's Last Movie is a pretty good documentary. It is a retrospective of their lives and careers and provides a lot of information about the duo that most people do not know. I liked it. It is as much a historical and social documentary as it is about the comedy team. The filmmaking is not great. The movie is not so incredibly well directed or edited, but it does have a lot of archival footage. These two really did carve out a unique and singular style of comedy that doesn't seem brave now but was brave at the time it was forged. They have an important place in comedy and this well memorializes it..

This film is a very personal document about fun, smoking weed, friendship, talent, success, and the downfall that came with it. But what stuck with me the most was the brutal honesty and forgiveness that made the journey of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's life together come full circle.

They never backed away from painful confrontations with each other, which at times makes it awkward to watch - but in the end, it explains exactly what happened to their relationship, which was very much like a marriage.

The often brilliantly funny footage shown brought back many memories from my past as a big fan, and it also helped put together a lot of the missing pieces of the puzzle - like why some of their films became hilarious classics while others simply didn't work.

It all came down to the stage of life they were in at that moment. This film tells the story of friendship of two guys I care about a lot.
