==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== {{Rotten Tomatoes prose|88|6.9|32|Getting a lot of mileage out of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's enduring rapport, their ''Last Movie'' provides both a comprehensive retrospective and a touching last hangout with this legendary comedy duo.|ref=yes|access-date=May 26, 2026}} {{Metacritic film prose|73|nine|ref=yes|access-date=January 7, 2026}}
[[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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/cheech-and-chongs-last-movie-review-1235849731/|title=‘Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie’ Review: A Lively and Informative Look at the Duo, Then and Now|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=March 12, 2024|access-date=February 14, 2025}}</ref>
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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/cheech-and-chongs-last-movie-documentary-review-1234963861/|title=‘Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie’ Review: The Legendary Stoner Duo Recount Meteoric Rise in Hit-or-Miss Archival Doc|website=[[IndieWire]]|date=March 12, 2024|access-date=February 14, 2025}}</ref>
