Review of Up in Smoke

Up in Smoke (1978)
6/10
Hilarious moments, and yet...
19 July 2004
This movie starts out brilliant and has some of the funniest gags ever filmed. And yet I was dying for it to end and turned it off for days at a time.

Don't get me wrong, I love stoner characters and have a fond memory of those times. And don't get me started on the nonsensical and draconian "War on Drugs."

Ultimately, there are just too many long stretches of dumb dialog, pointless action, and missed opportunities.

It's a tough one to rate, but I'm being generous at 6/10, just for the sight of that police dog...
