Rude Awakening ★★ 1989 (R)

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 Winkleian farce draws a few yuks, but could have been much funnier. Points for trying. 100m/C VHS . Eric Roberts, Richard “Cheech” Marin, Julie Hagerty, Robert Carradine, Buck Henry, Louise Lasser, Cindy Williams, Andrea Martin, Cliff DeYoung; D: Aaron Russo, David Greenwalt; W: Richard LaGravenese; M: Jonathan Elias.
