...straight face. And there are rewards for passing this strenuous test. Quest's canvas is colorfully daubed with great woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, and humanized with a prototype love affair between Naoh (Everett McGill), the chief Ulam, and Ika (Rae Dawn Chong, the daughter of Cheech's partner), a chatty, chalk-dipped girl from a more advanced tribe. McGill brings so much conviction to Naoh's desperate attempts first to keep the old fire alive, and then to create a new one, that he stands as on-screen avatar for his dedicated director...

By film's end, the viewer's hopes have shrunk along with wee Lily.

IMAGINE! America's almost favorite pair of comedians (excluding the team of George Bush and Billy Carter) answering your questions, pronouncing your name in print! Ask Cheech! Ask Chong!

Cheech & Chong won't answer the questions until next spring, after they've finished the aforementioned Columbia Project, but our Quizmaster needs the time to learn to read. Don't forget to include your name and address with the question; only one question per person, please...
...real message of Cheech and Chong's Next Movie, cleverly repeated again and again, is that dope is no more inherently funny than alcohol. There is no more substance to it, no mysterious properties that make those under its influence irresistibly hilarious. It seems likely that great comedians could do great dope routines--Charlie Chaplin Visits Jamaica--but it is not fantastically funny simply to light up a joint. If you have always enjoyed American screen humorists, however, go see this; it rivals anything Abbott and Costello ever...
