*********************************************************************Cheech and Chong’s enduring partnership begins like the start of a classic joke set-up: “a Chicano kid from South Central LA and a half-Chinese Motown musician meet at a strip club in Canada,” and ends with one of the most iconic duos in entertainment history.
*********************************************************************
In the 1970s, Cheech & Chong redefined stand-up comedy, blending drugs, sex, rock’n’roll, and improvisation into a genre-shaping act. Their multicultural, irreverent humor turned them into icons, counterculture rock stars, and Hollywood legends. Raucous, accessible, and explosively funny, their groundbreaking stoner humor has translated into sold-out concerts, platinum-selling records, and box-office-smashing films. The two have reached professional and personal heights well beyond their wildest dreams, while suffering their share of fallouts and stumbles, becoming a comedy rite of passage for multiple generations.
How did Cheech and Chong ignite imaginations and stay relevant over 50 years? Join them for one last ride to find out…
“Their low-key chemistry and obvious affection for each other despite their past issues are still very much on display, delivering a nostalgic kick that you don’t even have to be high to enjoy.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
“Any serious comedy fan will probably get something from “Last Movie” even as it overstays its welcome. It’s refreshing that the film never tries to force Cheech and Chong’s comedy to transcend its historical period.” (IndieWire)
