Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Michael_Elliott Get Out of My Room (1985) ** (out of 4) Fair mockumentary from Cheech Marin has him directing and co-starring with Tommy Chong as they play themselves being followed by a "reporter" doing a story on their new album. We see interviews with them, interviews with fans and there's also four music videos. GET OUT OF MY ROOM really isn't a good or entertaining picture and I think for the most part it's mainly going to appeal to C&C fans who have to see everything the duo did. With that said, it's certainly far from a "bad" movie but at the same time the duo simply has so many better pictures to watch over this one. I think the highlight of the film is the video for "Born in East L.A.," which is obviously a take off on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A.." I think fans of C&C as well as Springsteen will get a kick out of the video as it spoofs the city and Marin growing up there. The weakest aspect of the film are actually the fake interviews with Cheech and Chong as they simply aren't that funny and in fact they're not nearly as entertaining as some of the questions aimed at the fans.

Joseph P. Ulibas Get Out of my Room (1985) was a video version of their last album together. This production was Cheech's first directorial job and sadly for fans the last time they would be working together as a cohesive unit. The video BORN IN EAST L.A. would launch Cheech's career into the mainstream. Another video which would receive a lot of air play was I'M NOT HOME RIGHT NOW. The video movie featured a lot of faked behind-the-scenes moments with Cheech and Chong. One funny scene has Chong describing how he acts brain dead in front of the camera. The tighter he tightens the bandanna the stupider he acts. A fitting way to end their partnership (for now).I knew the duo wouldn't end after The Corsican Brothers. They needed to go out on a "high" note. Well, this video did it for them. I wished they would re-release it on D.V.D. Recommended for fans.

blackghost-1 Though not the best C&C film, certainly ranks up there with "Up In Smoke" and my personal favorite "Next Movie". The whole "Ian Rotten" bit in the first part is absolutely hysterical; the irony for "I'm Not Home Right Now" is great, and my favorite part, "Born In East L.A." is a great end to this hilarious mockumentary. The funniest bits come from in between the videos. The scene where the guy is trying to "expose" Cheech and Chong is absolutely hilarious. It's been a while since I watched this bit all the way through, but I recently acquired this hard to find classic and viewed a good portion of it. As I said, though it may not be the best of the Cheech and Chong series, it is certainly worth checking out.

MisterWhiplash Cheech and Chong's Get Out of My Room is the last thing the duo wrote, directed, produced and composed together (not acted though, they have teamed up in After Hours, Ferngully, Far Out Man, an episode of Nash Bridges and a very memorable and funny episode of South Park). And while this is the type of film that might let down those C & C fans that always toke up before the film (to say this critic does that would be incriminating, but just to save face I'll just say I know where you C & C fans are coming from), it is still funny. Sure not as funny as the triumphs Things Are Tough All Over, Nice Dreams, the uncompromising Up in Smoke and even the very worthy effort Next Movie, but it is still a trying and satirical approach to music videos that accomplishes it's task for all those about to watch. Really big flaw is that it is a set-up to be made fun (actually, Beavis and Butt-head did that already). Various stars make cameos in Spinal Tap style documentary between videos; Born In East L.A. is the definitive brainchild of Cheech. B
