Things Are Tough All Over (1982)


Cheech & Chong struggle to hold a series of odd jobs during a particularly harsh winter, until they are hired by a couple of wealthy Arabs (also played by the duo) to make a run down to Las Vegas, which inevitably leaves them lost and stranded, wandering through the deserts of Nevada. This feels like a much more traditionally plotted comedy and doesn't rely as heavily on drug humor (though it still remains prevalent). This is not the best of the C&C films, but it's one of the most consistently funny ones, although it lacks a proper resolution.
