Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

gglimmer-1 Yeah I know they, (Richard Marin and Thomas Chong) have made some of the stupidest movies on the planet, but this was one of their better ones. My opinion of other movies, of theirs, is: terrible. But I like "Nice Dreams". You can judge me negatively, for liking "Nice Dreams" if you want, but comedy (in all forms) is needed on this Earth right now! If you are a highbrow, then don't read on in this comment. If you are open to enjoying stupid comedy, I will tell you that "The Jerk" by the newly awarded Steve Martin is another favorite of mine...it is a much loved favorite I can enjoy with my 20-something daughters. I would recommend some other favorites: "Space Balls" by Mel Brooks, "Little Shop of Horrors" Frank Oz's version, and Monty Python's Life of Brian". My opinion is: if it makes you laugh, it's not a bad thing. The more a movie makes you laugh (and you find yourself quoting it when partying with other people who also love the movie) the more stars and the higher should be your vote on here. I give it an "8". (and two thumbs up, LOL)

John Foster Cheech and Chong's first movie, Up in Smoke (1978), was the most successful and it set the scene for the five other films which were to follow. Nice Dreams (1981) is movie number three. Nice Dreams is a very good film for laid-back old hippies like me who enjoy romanticising the 70s. Gone are the flower-power days of the 60s and life seems to have degenerated into sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll, and this movie has its fair share of each.My favourite scene is at the Chinese restaurant where Chong is mistaken for Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. And then there is a welcome cameo appearance from the enigmatic LSD guru Dr Timothy Leary. One of my favourite supporting roles is the police sergeant who has the tongue of a lizard and believes "the only way to catch a doper is for you yourself to become a smoker." The quirky soundtrack and slapstick comedy helps to keep the movie moving along nicely...Even though Cheech and Chong sold millions of records in the 70s and had a major success with Up in Smoke, I would not call Nice Dreams a mainstream movie. I would suggest it is a movie with a cult following although I've never seen it on any "cult film" lists.If you like this movie you may also like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Withnail and I".

gridoon This is the only Cheech & Chong comedy I've seen so far, so I can't judge it against their other works, but if you took out the drug references and the brief nudity and replaced them with a few fight scenes, I'd put it on the level of a lesser Bud Spencer & Terence Hill comedy (like for example "All The Way, Boys!"): amiable enough, but one laugh per half an hour is not exactly a good enough average to justify a rental, is it? This movie is too raunchy for kids, too obvious for adults, too scriptless for anyone. There is an interesting surreal, hallucinogenic sequence that is too short, and a role for Pee-Wee Herman that is short but still too long. Cheech himself sums it all up when he says "Ha Ha! That's very funny, man. It's so funny I forgot to laugh". (**)

stargirlrk This movie was pretty good. Cheech and Chong come back with another episode of hilarious pot comedy, this time they are marijuana sellers dealing their product out of the back of their "ice cream truck" that they drive around. A major pot grower asks them to babysit his greenhouse for him, so they do, and they steal most of his incredibly-potent pot (garbage bags full of it!) and sell most of it, making a fortune. One minute they are selling pot, the next they are in a restaurant meeting wacky and zany characters, including a mysterious woman who falls in love with them and a crazy young man who introduces them to coke ("Can we buy some of that, man?"). This is a very funny and entertaining film and I don't know why it got such a low user-rating. I still thought this was funnier than Up In Smoke, but it isn't as famous.
