...born!). Both star comedy duo Cheech Martin & Tony Chong who play the two lead roles in the movies. Cheech and Chong first began to gain fans in the 60's and 70's as stand up comics, with routines based mainly on the drug culture movement. Cheech's character is a cholo (am not being offensive or racist, am using it in the context of "from Latin American Origin" as in Napoleon Dynamite - Cholo no 1 & Cholo no 2 - if you don't know about Napoleon Dynamite ...
...this film!) This is Cheech and Chong's first film, released in 1978 Cheech plays Pedro & Chong plays Anthony Stoner (I am just going to call them Cheech and Chong through this review). So anyway, Chong gets kicked out of home by his Dad who thinks he is a jobless hippy (not too far off the mark), so off he goes. Oh no...Chong's car breaks down on a beach front road... Chong needs to get a lift into a city or somewhere so poses by the side of the ... Read review

Advantages: its funny :)
Disadvantages: Not to everyones taste

...first stand up tour from Ricky Gervais is brilliant, a personal favourite. He seems to have taken to stand up like a duck to water. For those of you who are fans of his tv sitcoms (the office and extras) this is a must see. If those two shows weren't to your taste then I'd probably suggest to steer clear. The comedy isn't as narrow as the title implies and Gervais gives his opinion on topics such as sex, chilhood, nazi's and my favourite part, the ...
...tour and a commentry by Ricky Gervais of his show (which to me seems a little pointless.

...leader of the party is Jim Davidson. I know I am going to get some stick for this but what if Jim Davidson was Prime Minister? For one thing he would not be walked over like some of them are (I'm not mentioning any names) and he would not take any crap, why because he knows where his nuts are! If you did not like that then I apologise but it is going to get worse. The Show = Jim Davidson has made this a very British live show including ...
...As you probably would imagine Jim does have a good moan about Tony Blair but if you think it is over an hour of Jim moaning about Blair then you would be wrong. Though he does make some valid points. Both the Americans and the French are attacked by Jim Davidson's humour along with Cliff Richard. Jethro will be made Foreign Secretary when Jim Davidson is voted into office, what a pair they would make! Included in the show is the usual humour towards ... Read review
