Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The 1981 stoner comedy Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams is the third of Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin's movies together, a meanderingly silly but agreeable farce about two clods selling marijuana treats from the back of an ice cream truck. Oblivious to an investigation by a couple of idiot cops whose boss (Stacy Keach) is constantly high from smoking evidence, the boys stumble through one crazy vignette after another. A few of these scenes feel like satiric spins on bad experiences Cheech and Chong might have had in the recording business, such as an evening spent with an obnoxious band manager who mistakes Tommy for Jerry Garcia and steals the Chinese food right off his restaurant table. Other craziness includes a night of sexual bliss interrupted by the arrival of a party girl's 'Mexican-hating' biker-boyfriend, and incarceration in a padded room, where Timothy Leary supplies psychedelics to the clueless anti-heroes. Paul Reubens, Sandra Bernhard, and Linnea Quigley turn up in supporting roles. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Strange, surreal, hilarious, another great directorial effort by Thomas Chong...
I recently went through Cheech and Chong's catalog, specifically films directed by Chong himself. As I was watching Next Movie, this film, and Still Smokin', I noticed that all these films have a strange, surreal, laid back, leisurely style. Part of me wants to say that Tommy Chong was just stoned out of his mind when he directed these films (which he probably was), but I can't help but notice that the films (especially Next Movie and this one) have a flow unique to themselves. The pacing seems ... Read More
Rating:  - 4 1/2 STARS FOR THIS CLASSIC AND LAST GREAT C&C FILM!
This is another impressive installment in the Cheech & Chong movies. This is the third movie in the series and like the others I saw them all at the theater when released. Great stoners comedies don't come around to often! This DVD could use an up grade like all the others.
Rating:  - Where're their heads at?
This is the third Cheech and Chong film, coming after Up in Smoke (1978) and Cheech and Chong's Next Movie (1980). The films are a series in the traditional way--characters continue, and there is something of a linear development per the films' chronologies of the characters, but as with the plot of this film in isolation, the threads holding it all together are pretty thin.
In Nice Dreams, Cheech and Chong are selling dope from a barely disguised ice cream truck. They may have struck ... Read More
Rating:  - 2 funny guys in a very strange film!
This was a very weird film with lizard people and pot smoking cops. Bits are funny, but the weirdness definately permeates through most of the film, especially a sequence near the end where Cheech & Chong are being held in a padded cell. trippy stuff, which kept me interested, but not as funny as I had hoped. Up in Smoke still remains my favorite in the Cheech & Chong series.
Rating: - Good Times Watchin Nice Dreams!!
Great Flick to kick back and toke a big fatty to, gotta love this one! But wtf is up w/PeeWee Herman's "Hamburger Dude" character??? They must have been on acid when they thought that up...Speaking of acid, Dr. Timothy Leary makes a cameo which is totally awesome! yeah, rock on Cheech & Tommy!
