Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong play versions of themselves being invited to Amsterdam for a film festival devoted to Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton.

Most of the sketches are presented as cutaways, culminating in their live performance (filmed at the Tuschinski Theater in September 1982)[2] ending with the Ralph and Herbie routine.

Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote, "With Still Smokin, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are scraping the bottom of the barrel and finding only bits and pieces of the characters and comedy routines that were so successful in their earlier films.

Not even the most forgiving C & C fans can justify this nonmovie that climaxes a scant plot involving an Amsterdam film festival with twenty minutes of laughless concert footage.

"[6] Nearly three decades after its release, the film remains "lazily offensive in its attempts to be funny,"[7] with a score of 3.2/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, alongside a 10% rating based on ten reviews.
