Up in Smoke

1978 · 86 min

A silly, hazy ride full of slapstick and counterculture jokes that you can enjoy without thinking too hard.

Tagline: It will make you feel VERY funny!
Overview: An unemployed pot-smoking slacker and amateur drummer, Anthony Stoner ditches his strict parents and hits the road, eventually meeting kindred spirit Pedro de Pacas. While the drug-ingesting duo is soon arrested for possession of marijuana, Anthony and Pedro get released on a technicality, allowing them to continue their many misadventures and ultimately compete in a rock band contest, where they perform the raucous tune "Earache My Eye."
