Well, watched this one last week and the theatre was about 75% full.

 

Harold and Kumar was not as funny as the first one but I still think that it gave me my money’s worth specially after having been disappointed by lots of movies this year. Yes, it is RATED movie and has loads of sequences where you would regret taking a family with. Although those scenes are outright stupid, they are hilariously funny and not on the same page as those we’ve seen in awful ones like Date Movie or Meet the Spartans. In the first one, Harold & Kumar goes thru a helluva adventure in their quest to eat at White Castle.  In this one, a comical adventure starts after their trip to Amsterdam to legally smoke weed is obstructed after they are mistaken for terrorists and sent to the aweful prison in Guantamano Bay where they are treated with "sausages". They somehow need to escape the prison and get to Texas where they can seek help from a college friend who enjoys a high political position and power. The movie is loaded with funny dialogues and sequences which mostly aims at ridiculing the American stereotypes and post 9/11 fear. Also, there are also a lot of racial(inoffensive though!!) and weed jokes including one with a character playing George Bush. My favourite scene was the one is which Harold and Kumar runs away from this gang of black people in Alabama after having had their Mustang stuck when in actuality those peeps were only trying to help H&K 's car get back on track. Both Kal Penn and Cho acts better than they have in WhiteCastle and this time the character of Harold also has a lot of say in the proceedings. If I were asked for a CON in the movie, than it must have to be the loose and unbelievable story but then there aren’t many comedies with great stories anyway. Well, H&K2 is a darn good comedy but just remember to watch it with someone who you are comfortable with watching some nude scenes.

 

Harold and Kumar - Escape from Guantamano Bay - a cool 3.5 outta 5
