One-half of the hip comic duo behind such classic aIbums as Big Bambu and hit movies like Up In Smoke, Richard "Cheech" Marin wrote and directed this film based on his best-seIIing record parody. In his first solo screen appearance, Marin stars as Rudy Robles, who is accidentaIly deported to Mexico without l.D. or knowledge of Spanish and can't convince the U.S. officials to let him return. Unable to contact his vacationing family or communicate with his newly immigrated cousin, Javier (PauI Rodriguez), Rudy embarks upon a series of wild schemes to get across the border any way he can. Along the way, he takes a variety of very odd jobs from a sleazy entrepreneur, Jimmy (DanieI Stern), in order to raise money while faIling head over heeIs for a stunning senorita, DoIores (KamaIa Lopez). |
