Premise

While on a road trip to a place called "The Joint", Cheech & Chong recall their lives, from childhood to joining forces in the 1960s up until their breakup in the 1980s.

Reception

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "David Bushell's directorial debut receiving its world premiere at SXSW provides a fairly definitive portrait of the legendary comic duo who became a cultural sensation starting in the early 1970s thanks to their sold-out live performances, top-selling comedy albums, and hit movies. There's much fun to be derived from their reunion for this film chronicling their decades-long, on-and-off association, not to mention seeing them driving through the desert and riffing together in their distinctive gonzo way."
Vikram Murthi of IndieWire gave the film a B−, writing, "Any serious comedy fan will probably get something from Last Movie even as it overstays its welcome. It's refreshing that the film never tries to force Cheech and Chong's comedy to transcend its historical period."
