BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Elswet This work lacks in the line of direct laughs. They just don't come. The humor of this work comes from an accumulative factor, the fact that sexual innuendo and outright swank are heightened to replace their usual marijuana-based venue, and the fact that these guys do not belong in this setting.About a third of the way through, I found myself chuckling. Not from anything direct, mind you, but because the accumulative comedic elements effectively communicated the humor, and never let up.All in all, this is a fine film. Its caustic humor wears on you until you find that you are laughing, in spite of yourself.It rates a 6.7/10 from...the Fiend :.
Rika750 November 24, 2004The only thing that I've found funny in the movie was the scene where this lady was giving birth and out came these two hairy grown men (Cheech & Chong) screaming, hollering and kicking like babies. I mean they were really hideous looking with hair all over their backs, chests, feet and moustaches and beards. The rest of the movie was silly and boring. I thought Up in Smoke was funnier than this one with Cheech dressing up in a pink ballet tutu, Minnie mouse ears and knee socks jumping around on stage and Chong wearing a Superman outfit. What about the scene when Chong dressed up as a woman in order to hitch a ride and once he got in Cheech's car he looked and found out it was a man.
bob the moo Cheech and Chong are performing their unique brand of rock music in modern day France when they are approached by a gypsy who reads their past and tells them of their past lives in France. There they were brothers, spurned by their royal parents due to being the spawn of another man. The two grow up to be taken for outlaws and sentenced to death by the King of France. When their beheading becomes a farce, the King pardons them to save face, however for the love of two women they infiltrate the palace by way of cunning surprise.The running `joke' in this film is that Cheech and Chong are brothers with a bond that means one feels the other's pain. This joke is hammering into the ground ignoring the fact that it isn't even funny the first time! The plot is a shambles that is just an excuse for the duo to monkey around in a different time period. The gags are all very poor - I was in a relaxed silly mood and ready to laugh but I didn't even smile once - I swear to god, not even once!Some of the gags are so lame that I found my mood just getting lower and lower as I watched. In respect to the film I stuck with it to the bitter end but if I could take back the time I spent watching this I would do it in a flash. Sadly all I can do now is commit my thoughts to this review and hopefully move past this unpleasant chapter in my life. Chong is rubbish here, as are almost all the overacting support cast with absurd makeup and accents! Rae Dawn Chong is really cute in a tiny cameo but it is Cheech Martin who is worth watching if you're in the mood for it. He may not really be very funny here due to the material but at least he plays along with it and seems to be having fun (more than I was at least).Overall this is just one big waste of time. If you get enjoyment from this film then I salute you because you did much better than me in that regard. Usually I would guess that makers of films this bad must be on drugs or something, but here I assume that the problem was that Chong wasn't high when it came to this film - if he was he might have managed to insert some fun, wit, imagination or enjoyment into the film; as it is he doesn't get any of these in and fills the gap with rubbish instead.
MovieAddict2016 Ridiculously awful, infamous "Cheech and Chong" outing has the so-called "Corsican Brothers" having more fun doing stupid things. I saw this in Britain at about two in the morning, and so it's hard to really remember anything about it (did it even have a plot?), but I did find it very goofy and silly and hard to put a rating on.Technical value: 0/5 2:00 a.m. fun value: 3/5
