Far Out Man (1990)

"A Tommy Chong Attempt"

An aging hippie sets off a road trip across America in search of his lost love, Tree. The film is a bit of an oddity for how many times it breaks the fourth wall. This movie notably lacks a cohesive plot, instead functioning as a vehicle for many of his family and friends to guest star in a loose semblance of his life. It's a bit of a vanity piece, but it's actually more entertaining than it sounds.

Note: Initially, I thought this title was the hippie phrase "Far Out, Man" but it's actually the name the Chong character is referred to throughout the film.
