for anyone who likes this movie, you'll buy it regardless. however. it is in 16x9 format(standard), it is not the widescreen version. as far as special features go, it has an option for 5:1 digital audio. this feature is not accessable thru the "audio set-up" option, you have to go into "special features" befor you start the movie if you prefer to listen to it this way. other features include the theatrical trailer and about a 1/2 dozen different tv commercials promoting this movie. enjoy a very funny cheech as a "leading man"?
One of Cheech's Better Movies
I LIKE this one. Cheech plays, of course, a Mexican who ends up in Australia of all places, working in a Mexican Restaurant. He disappears on his partner, who throughout the movie pleads for him to return. Turns out he has been hired by an Australian lady whose father owns everything and who she wants to put down. She already has a boy friend who she plans to marry, but hires Cheech to impersonate her boy friend to her father, telling Cheech to be as obnoxious and crude as possible. Cheech does his best, but Dad overhears the deal and now knows what is going on. So he tells her he approves of her choice and asks, "when's the wedding?" Well this puts her in a strange position, and, as the story unfolds, she becomes more and more attracted to Cheech and less attracted to the man she was going to marry. He punches Cheech in the eye and she finds out some dirt on him and, well, I won't spoil the ending, but things workout and all ends well. Not a moving production, no earth shattering revelations, no profound statements, just a cute little movie that for awhile anyway, makes you laugh and for a little while helps you forget all your other troubles. Well worth a look.
you'll laugh your "culo" off
I hope I spelled that right... I ordered the film from Amazon and am about half way thru watching it. I had to post this message now because I haven't laughed so hard in years as Cheech gives a Mexican wedgy to a bunch of upper crust Aussie stuffed shirts. The rebellious daddy's girl (who is really as headstrong as her business tycoon father) is very well played by Emma Sams. As is the nerdy horse-loving cousin. Although this movie isn't Citizen Kaine, you can still see some pretty good writing and insight into the main characters portrayed. I'd recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor.
I am a fan of both Cheech Marin & Thamas Chong, Cheech is good at playing both Cheech or Red, but this aint no Cheech & Chong flick! Born In East L.A., is a movie about an Los Angeles Native Ruby, who is a Chicano, One day a Border Patroller asked Ruby for his Green Card, but Ruby didn't own no Green Card, because he was born & raised in East Los Angeles, CA. Ruby is taken on a truck with a dozen other illegal immigrants, and is taken to Tijuana, Mexico in which Ruby has to learn to survive and know how to speak spanish, if he's left out on the streets of Tijuana. I don't wanna spoil the movie for anyone so just go out and watch the damn film if you are a fan of Cheech Marin and his acting, this movie is 1 Loco Thrill ride aswell!

Kelsey Grammer stars as the captain of a rust-bucket submarine who is fighting for his career by proving his skills in a contest against far more sophisticated ships. Rob Schneider provides comic support as an uptight ensign, and Lauren Holly plays an officer who has to fight her own will-they-accept-me-because-I'm-a-woman anxieties. The film didn't do well at the box office, but it is actually pretty funny, Grammer is enjoyable, and the above-the-water/below-the-water action sequences are as good as any in most submarine films. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Director(s): David S.

This adventure of Cheech & Chong see's them playing a couple of dudes who work for some Arab dudes who like want them to drive a car from Detroit to Las Vegas but they have no idea why, they just wanna get paid for the job. Theres a lot of things happening to them as the drive from one place to the other.
There isnt much of the Stoner Humor in this one compared to other C&C movies. The laughs arnt there as strong as the other either, but the humour is still defintly there. I have a feeling Richard "Cheech" Marin probably wanted to show he could act as something other then the Cheech charactor, they play a couple of Arabs in the movie aswell, and lean more towards a humor not so pot headed. I think Cheech was trying to establish himself as a real actor. But least he stayed... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Thomas K.
