Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

N/A

There's an abundance of toilet humour, masturbation, oral sex and fantasies about threesomes with an oversized bag of weed ... The target market will no doubt be primed

Uses its sly brand of humor to say plenty about the state of race relations in the U.S. (really).

Now only a pot comedy would conceive of turning George W. into a goofy, dare I say even likable pothead who's afraid of his dad and Dick Cheney.

Anything the filmmakers might have, could have, should have handled with even the remotest degree of subtlety...they didn't.

A prison sex slave rebellion having to do with an organ sandwich, don't ask, and a detour over to Bush's secret sex den, make this ballsy doper duo and their Blue State versus Red State rant hard to resist.

Whereas White Castle had a freshness in its humor, Guantanamo goes crude for the sake of crudeness, to the point of ruining entire scenes.

A drunken bachelor party kind of movie, more of a rental idea than a full-priced theater movie.

Those wishing to defend the honor of the red states will find much to dislike here, starting with the depiction of Southerners as rednecks and Klansmen

Unfortunately, the movie has too many uninspired and shockingly unfunny moments that outweigh the good by at least a few tons.

A surprisingly 'post-9/11' movie, it combines typical stoner humor with a plot about ethnic profiling, torture, and War on Terror paranoia. But, like, in a funny way.

...even Doogie Howser and his imaginary unicorns can't save this film.

Not a high point in stoner comedies, the snickering filmmakers miss their chance to take on racial profiling in the war on terror. Bongs away!

There's plenty about the Bush administration's War on Terror worthy of satire, but Harold & Kumar picks over a carcass that others have chewed over with much sharper teeth.

This movie has everything. Violence, racism, incest, sex, drugs, gross-out humor, insane amounts of nudity and Neil Patrick Harris!

The sequel proves you can still have fun with Harold and Kumar, but you can never go back to White Castle again.

Overall, it's an enjoyable sequel, although not up to the admittedly high--heh--standards of the first installment.

After two films of their joyous irresponsibility and hedonistic pleasures, I can say with confidence that I wouldn't want to live in a world without them.

The gross-out and gay-panic humor is overdone, but like its predecessor, the movie makes some cogent if clumsy points about racial identity.

If you're really, really high, you might think that H&KEfGB suggests that we are only truly free when we transcend our own racial identities.
