Ive understood and loved this movie from a child!!!

It presents good questions that should be asked and even though drug references are there it has a good moral of peace and love. Im sure everyone could use some of that sometime. I just wish they had it in the DVD format!!

This is a great movie. I first saw it back in the late 80's. It is hilarious with a bunch of funny lines that I still use today. Its also very relevant in its political, social and enviormental views. Overall just a great movie that made me laugh and cry.

Laughs with a lesson

I loved this movie from the first time it was viewed. I was a teenager, and it contributed to alot of the ideas that have become a part of who I am today. Eric Roberts is steamy hot, but the plot is very important too! A must see for everyone!

A comedy with heart and purpose
Added 9/16/2004

A lot of people don't appreciate the message this movie brings, even if they appreciate it's humor. "Rude Awakening" came out when I was a toddler, and it has meant a lot to me watching it throughout my life. The speech "Fred Wook" (Eric Roberts) gives in the movie about our environment is very moving.

Aside from it's wonderful message, this is an extremely entertaining movie! Cheech is funny as ever, and Eric Roberts is a hunk! Plus a slew of other comedians and a wonderful soundtrack accompany this movie.

I highly reccomend it to anyone interested in our environment, 60s or 80s culture, or just a really good comedy. :)

COntrary to the critics appraisal, its a pretty darn funny movie the first time yuou see it. It basically fits into the stupid funny genre, great watch while smoking (*chuckles*). I highly recommend it,, especially if you smoke.
