Summary: Only for true C&C fans
Review: "Nice Dreams" is nowhere near as funny as "Up in Smoke" or "Next Movie". The jokes are lame, the situations have already been done, and C&C look like they're going thru the motions. I laughed twice throughout the whole movie!

Summary: Not Now, Noodles!
Review: 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.

Summary: "Hey man, big stick!"
Review: Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams is one of the best in the series. Here the far out duo have finally found the scam beyond their wildest dreams, selling "specially mixed" ice cream. Great sences, some of the funniest things about this one is the small talk between the two like the Hippie Retirement home and Voto Land. Really funny things are their underground pot garden and the whole idea of selling dope in a ice cream truck.Hilarious moments, save the whales song, making lunch, "do you like yours medium rare?", "I can smell cops a mile away man, they smell like coffee and donuts.", "Come on get after them man they want a big stick!" Recomended for any C&C fan!

Summary: Meandering fun
Review: Hard to believe this came out during the Reagan administration. Here, nevertheless, is one of the last gasps of the counterculture, and if it is not as tightly plotted (if that is the right word) as the auteurs' Up In Smoke, neither is it as ploddingly episodic as Cheech and Chong's Next Movie and Still Smokin', their other films of note. (Of Things Are Tough All Over and Cheech and Chong's The Corsican Brothers, the less said the better.) There actually is something resembling a story here: the boys amass a fortune selling marijuana and, in the final act's surprise twist, they lose it. Along their picaresque way they encounter unlikely scenarios and people--people including, but not limited to, Paul Reubens, Sandra Bernhard and Dr. Timothy Leary. Not all of the gags hit their target, at least to viewers who are not themselves on drugs, but the beauty of unsuccessful drug jokes is that they do not so much bomb as waft away. Director Chong is no Bergman, but he does present us with sights I do not recall seeing anywhere else: a nude Cheech clings desperately to a glass elevator's exterior; a panicked Cheech backstrokes desperately atop a subterreanean pot farm disguised as a swimming pool; an extraordinarily mellow Stacy Keach slowly turns into a lizard. Plot elements and set-pieces aside, what stays with this reviewer are images of the comedians wandering serenely through a splendid cannabis plantation. They stroll amid the greenery and gently argue about something or other, as quiet country-rock murmurs on the soundtrack. If Cheech and Chong's prior movies were about the sleaziness of the drug scene, this one is about the sylvan beauty of marijuana farms--even if the farms are concealed somewhere in suburban Southern California. There was plenty to worry about in 1981, of course, but this film reminds us that some people were less worried than others.

Summary: neither best nor worst
Review: i honestly dont see what the problem is with these reviewers i mean its cheech and chong not shakespeare !!!!!! this movie has some great moments, like when stacey keach turns into a dope head while trying to catch c&c and the pool scene where cheech pretends to swim on top of a stepladder while the feds are in a helicopter overhead.its not as bad as still smoking but next movie and things are tough all over are timeless and untouchable classics,if you consider yourself a c&c fan then why not consider this....buy it,tune in ,roll up,and chill out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Chicken man eats Hamburger Dude!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Hey Columbia, Where's the %$&$#!! features?!?
Review: I'm giving this 4 stars because I love Cheech & Chong. Nice Dreams, in my opinion, is the third best C&C movie. Up In Smoke('78) being the best followed by Next Movie('80.) "Nice Dreams" is enjoyable (I can't believe it's been 20 years since I saw it in the theatre as a teenager.) The "Save The Whales" song is great. I've always loved Tommy Chong's guitar riffs and I love it when they do these little songs in the middle of scenes. After an enjoyable start, the movie slows down a bit but picks up for a funny second half. The movie gives off a very *cool* feeling with it's "pot growing" scenes. My beef here is with Columbia Tri-Star (come to think of it, they should change their name to *COLUMBIAN Tri-Star* for the Cheech & Chong flicks) Seriously though, my problem is that there are NO FEATURES to speak of on this DVD. I WAS pleased to see that there was a picture disc and choice of format(including anamorphic widescreen) but NOT ONE REAL FEATURE. They even dupe you on the back of the DVD by stating "bonus trailers"; implying that there are extra trailers *ALONG WITH* the NICE DREAMS trailer. NO DICE... THERE IS NO "NICE DREAMS" trailer (only two others.) What the hell is the big deal for these movie companies to give us a few features for these older movies?!? To me, features are much more important on an older movie (for nostalgia sake at least!) than on some new movie that's been promoted into the ground anyway! Here's an idea for "NICE DREAMS" or "CHRISTINE" or "THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH" or any of the other older movies that have been given the shaft, features wise: 1. Theatrical Trailer (ALWAYS start with this; having no trailer is like having no thermos in a lunch box.) 2. nostalgic features like TV commercials, old interviews, poster art etc. (for me, this kinda stuff is VERY important.) 3. Deleted Scenes (bring 'em on!...good or bad.) 4. a nice featurette (which includes original *cast members* *looking back* on the film, not *producers boring us to tears* with location and technical troubles. 5. Finally, audio comm. is always a bonus. I know what you're saying, "NICE DREAMS" isn't worth all that. Well, I say "If you're GOING to release something on DVD, FILL UP THE DAMNED SPACE!" Make it FUN to BUY! Let us feel like we spent our money WISELY. DVD IS MEANT FOR THIS. **CELEBRATE the film, don't BARE-BONE it like it was a reissued VIDEO TAPE! Paramount did a decent job with "Up In Smoke." I can only *hope* that Universal does a good jod with "Cheech & Chong's Next Movie"....but I'm not holding my breath.
