Cheech And Chong's Reunion Hey Watch This Reviewed

By Young Butler

lots of people all over the world smoked themselves in to oblivion watching Cheech and Chong movies when they were young. They were and still are cult movies that appeal to anyone with liberal views when it comes to drugs. Pot heads everywhere have waited for decades for Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin to work together again and now they have finally satisfied the fans. Hey Watch This is bound to appeal to new and old fans and lets hope the reaction inspires them to make another movie.

The stage show has been turned in to a movie of sorts with behind the scenes interviews. It proves they have lost none of the characteristics that made us laugh so much. It is bound to make you wonder why they ever stopped working as a pair. Tommy Chong does offer up one answer to that question as he says "you can't make a rich Mexican work". Obviously their success meant that they had no need or inclination to continue with what they were doing.

Something that will be a revelation is the wife of Tommy Chong who was a co-star In the original movies. Her style of comedy is very funny and she has a real stage presence that begs the question why hasn't she done more solo work?

It's not wonder she has an affinity with all things funny because you only have to see her Tommy Chong on stage to picture their home life. A sane person would be unlikely to marry such a wild card but if they did then they would have to have a crazy sense of humour.

Tommy tells of when he was jailed for nine months after he got caught selling bong pipes. His take on the court room is a mental picture that is hard to forget as are his views on the Bible. He gives his opinion on what was going on in the book of Genesis and the book of Exodus amongst others. They are views that can only have been forged through years of drug use.

Cheech we all know a little better these days as he has had much success working in many Hollywood blockbusters over the years. He is a very funny man on stage and just like Tommy, he has his own brand of comedy style. In this performance he plays through some of his old routines to huge applause and demonstrations of appreciation from the audience.

During the film there are lots and lots of things that are incredibly entertaining but when they are on stage together they are best. It's a travesty that they have been away from each other for all this time. We can only hope that they continue to work with each other more often maybe in a repeat of the stage show. San Antonio in Texas was the place where the show was performed but it would have filled venues all over the world for sure.

There is a definite connection with the fans that is hard to get in this day and age. Not everyone will like them but that's the whole point. You don't have to be pro-drugs to enjoy their jokes but it will help tremendously. Hey Watch This may not contain tons of new material but it doesn't need it. You are still going to have to pick yourself off the floor when you fall off your chair laughing. - 40732
