If the mere idea of such high jinks sends you roaring into gales of laughter, "Things Are Tough All Over" may be the movie for you. If not, stay home.

Probably the best Cheech & Chong movie -- the boys show some variety, someone besides Chong directed it, and there's strangely almost no drug humor.
