Reception
Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote, "If marijuana has a way of heightening the hilarious aspects of things that might not otherwise be funny, then this is very much a marijuana movie. But 'Nice Dreams' also has a more general appeal than that. These are high spirits that don't have to do with being high."[1] Variety noted: "Although plot is impossible and filmmaking is still on the rudimentary side, effort is chock full of yocks, as the zippy pace, short running time and succession of outrageous bit players keep energy and audience attention from flagging."[2] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post called the film "an outrageously amusing ramble."[3] Sheila Benson of the Los Angeles Timeswrote that the film "sure doesn't work if you're straight."[4] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of four and described the level of humor as "infantile."[5]
