Rude Awakening Movie Review 1989

Hippies Cheech and Roberts (where's Chong?) settled in a South American commune 20 years ago. Now they're back, and don't know what to make of old pals Carradine and Hagerty who have become--that's right--yuppies. Rip Van Winkle-ian farce draws a few yuks, but could have been much funnier. Points for trying.
