Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay Review
->
The first Harold and Kumar movie was a surprise hit, and somehow combined mature and immature humor at the same time. It’s one of my favorites and I can usually watch it repeatedly without getting bored. Therefore, I was definitely looking forward to the sequel when Harold would finally be with Maria in Amsterdam.
Obviously the government had other plans. As usual Kumar’s love for weed messes things up and the duo end up in Guantanamo Bay. Their subsequent escape and journey through the south in search of rescue provides some good laughs and entertainment. However, the comedy may have gotten a little too immature.
For those who think “fart humor” can be a little much you may get annoyed with this movie. Although there’s not much, its can be funny or annoying depending on the viewer. There is also a lot of complete nudity, which seemed to be unnecessary. But other than that, the movie was pretty good. I did laugh quite a bit, and as usual the sequence wasn’t as good as the original.
7/10
