Entertainment Reviews:
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
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.

AV Club
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.
New York Daily News
Rating: 2.5/4 --
This isn't a great piece of nonfiction filmmaking, but it has its moments.

Boston Globe
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.

Entertainment Weekly
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.

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.
