Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Posted on 13. Jul, 2008 by Serina in New Release DVD
This film is the second installment of Harold and Kumar’s adventures and it did not disappoint the comedy meter, as sequels often do. Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay is full of light hearted humor and bad decisions that lead to unfortunate circumstances.
I love Kal Penn who plays Kumar (if you haven’t seen Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle you may know him from the award winning t.v. series House). John Cho who plays Harold also brings his A game. These two team up to bring you a unique plot line with a series of very strange scenes, including unicorns, whorehouses and Dookie Houser? I spent half the movie jaw dropped thinking “wait wtf” and the other half laughing. One of my favorite bits has to be the cyclops but you’ll have see that for yourself.
The pot smoking duo start out on a mission to Amsterdam in search of Harold’s lady love. Soon into their travels things go astray and they find themselves tangoing with a gun ho U.S Homeland Security officer. Secretary Fox (Rob Corddry) deems them a threat to national security and sentences them to be locked up in Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay prison.
The entire film pokes fun at the overbearing discretion utilized by Homeland Security. President bush (no not the real one) even makes an appearance! This movie is great for evening conversation, its not the best ever but its worth watching so I give it a 6.9/10!
