Up In Smoke (1978) ****

This is where the stoner film began.Up in Smoke has a basic plot. Two guys are trying to score weed for 90 minutes. What they inadvertently score on the way is an upholstery warehouse van made of marijuana. Let the fun begin.

There's not much you can say about Up in Smoke. It's not Olivier style acting but it is a hilarious movie full of those wonderful quotables that only goog movies have. A must for cult viewing.

I knew that the legendary Strother Martin was in this, I forgot that Tom Skerritt was, and didn't even know that Harry Dean Stanton had his role as the deputy trying to sell Chong pills was cut from the film.
