This is the original review of Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams by Siskel & Ebert on "Sneak Previews" in 1981. All of the segments pertaining to the movie have been included.
Roger, reviewing another C&C comedy, cited a drug-using acquaintance who'd told him, "Laughing at stoners isn't nice if you aren't one, and it isn't funny if you are." "It's me, Dave!" "Dave ain't here..."
6/10 for me, not one of their best films at all, I personally thought they should've stopped after "Next Movie" as "Up In Smoke" and "Next Movie" were their only really good films.
I thought this was an okay movie but definitely the beginning of the downhill slide for Cheech & Chong, this movie did have some great moments but as a whole it was an uneven movie, I give "Nice Dreams" a 6/10, I even thought "Things Are Tough All Over" was a little better than this film.
I agree completely with both Gene and Roger. This is a lazy and terrible comedy. “Up in Smoke” the first Cheech & Chong film is extremely funny. I just don’t think they really tried with this one.
