Rating: 3/5 -- This is an important propaganda film. After all, Gilbert has all the facts in hand and presents it halfway decently.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Jun 17, 2006
Rating: 3/5 -- Josh Gilbert's film tells the depressing, often ridiculous and generally enraging story of how and why Tommy Chong ended up doing time in a minimum-security prison.
New York Times

Rating: C+ -- What could have been either a scathing critique of the drug war or an intimate portrait of a stoner facing mortality instead comes off as a fawning infomercial for its subject. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Even those unimpressed with [Cheech and Chong's] genially lowbrow work will be intrigued by the political tenor of this portrait.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- This isn't a great piece of nonfiction filmmaking, but it has its moments. Full Review
Boston Globe
Jun 30, 2006
Rating: B -- It is also a portrait of resilience: Chong does his time (nine months) and has the last laugh, emerging as a born-again activist-survivor of the culture wars. Full Review
Entertainment Weekly
Jun 14, 2006
Rating: B -- Rather than some rambling, pro-pot film, this flick actually does a pretty good job of documenting the issues surrounding Chong's arrest, and the obvious intention by the Ashcroft justice department to bring down an icon of the debauched 70s. Full Review

Product Description:

Josh Gilbert gets very close to Tommy Chong (of CHEECH & CHONG) in this revealing and surprisingly serious documentary. The film goes beyond mere biography to explore the racist core of drug policy in America.
