The first half hour of Up in Smoke may be the best film sequence in Baked Potato history, possibly in the history of art as we know it. However, its greatness provides us with a conundrum nearly as boggling as it is humorous. Is it possible that Cheech and Chong can really be acting this well, or is this movie actually an improvised skit by two thoroughly baked comedians?
