A mock documentary filmed mostly in and around Los Angeles with interviews of Cheech and Chong interspersed between four videos of songs from their last album. Songs include: "Get Outta My Room" and "Born in East LA".
I liked Cheech being British, did not like that this was their last movie together... and overall felt this was a bit weak. Some of the segments were funny and the songs are alright, but it never really came together as a coherent story and was more like a way to just fill an hour.
Maybe I am expecting too much from these guys, but I would have liked to see more of a full movie with just the songs incorporated into the plot or something along those lines...

Funny, But Brief and Patched Together
Not for the pot-heads at heart, but a good and amusing show nevertheless
Cheech and Chong's Get Out of My Room is the last thing the duo wrote, directed, produced and composed together (not acted though, they have teamed up in After Hours, Ferngully, Far Out Man, an episode of Nash Bridges and a very memorable and funny episode of South Park). And while this is the type of film that might let down those C & C fans that always toke up before the film (to say this critic does that would be incriminating, but just to save face I'll just say I know where you C & C fans are coming from),it is still funny. Sure not as funny as the triumphs Things Are Tough All Over, Nice Dreams, the uncompromising Up in Smoke and even the very worthy effort Next Movie, but it is still a trying and satirical approach to music videos that accomplishes it's task for all those about to watch. Really big flaw is that it is a set-up to be made fun (actually, Beavis and Butt-head did that already). Various stars make cameos in Spinal Tap style documentary between videos; Born In East L.A. is the definitive brainchild of Cheech. B
Cheech and Chong's final collaboration as a team!
Get Out of my Room (1985) was a video version of their last album together. This production was Cheech's first directorial job and sadly for fans the last time they would be working together as a cohesive unit. The video BORN IN EAST L.A. would launch Cheech's career into the mainstream. Another video which would receive a lot of air play was I'M NOT HOME RIGHT NOW. The video movie featured a lot of faked behind-the-scenes moments with Cheech and Chong. One funny scene has Chong describing how he acts brain dead in front of the camera. The tighter he tightens the bandanna the stupider he acts. A fitting way to end their partnership (for now).
I knew the duo wouldn't end after The Corsican Brothers. They needed to go out on a "high" note. Well, this video did it for them. I wished they would re-release it on D.V.D.
