Beginning precisely where Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle left off, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay takes the film franchise in a more boorish and spuriously topical direction. Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) take an ill-fated flight to Amsterdam, during which Kumar's suspicious-looking bong is mistaken for a bomb. Their arrest prompts a wild-eyed, racist Homeland Security nut (Rob Corddry) to send the boys to indefinite lockup at Guantanamo Bay, where beefy guards sexually subjugate "enemy combatants." The duo manage to get away and make it back to the U.S., hoping the well-connected fiance (Eric Winter) of Kumar's old girlfriend, Vanessa (Danneel Harris), can get them out of their mess. During a dangerous and grotesque odyssey to Texas (where Vanessa is marrying her rich and vain boyfriend, much to Kumar's dismay), Harold and Kumar have episodic encounters with the Ku Klux Klan, a one-eyed, inbred monster, and old friend Neil Patrick Harris (as himself), who swallows fistfuls of magic mushrooms and drags the boys to a brothel stop that goes terribly wrong. The desultory comedy strikes a lowbrow tone from its opening scene (Harold takes a shower while Kumar has a diarrhea attack) and doesn't get much more interesting than that. If there's a bodily fluid that doesn't rate a joke in Guantanamo Bay, it doesn't exist. The persistent sight gags about weed (including a smoky visit with President Bush) never reach the kind of giddy pitch that pot humor requires, leaving a lot of the film's comedy just hanging like dead space. The sequel's attempt to say something, albeit in a gross way, about the state of the country during the Bush years is obvious and empty. Really, there isn't a lot of reason for Guantanamo Bay to have been made, except to print money. --Tom Keogh

 GREAT MOVIE!!! FUNNY... December 30, 2008
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. I absolutely loved it, I think it was better than the first one.
 digital copy harold and kumar December 18, 2008
anyone need the digital copy codes for this movie harold and kumar escape from guantanamo bay?
 Not what I was hoping for December 8, 2008
I have no problem with weed humor which is a big selling point for this movie. The problem is the humor was lacking all around for Guantanamo Bay. I am not sure if Harold and Kumar are trying to follow in Cheech and Chongs footsteps but if they are they have a long way to go. I watched the unrated version and besides for scene where everyone is bottomless it seemed to play as the original. This movie is at best worth one viewing and probably best scene as a rental. Buy the Search for Whitecastle if you want a Harold and Kumar movie.
freakin hilarious November 13, 2008
if you liked the first, there is NO WAY you can dislike this one. it's gut-busting funny.
I laughed. A lot. I'm just not sure if I should feel guilty about that! October 14, 2008
First off, I have to say that, IMO, the first one was better. It's usually true of sequels, so that shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. As for the movie? Many of the jokes were crude and/or offensive to any number of religous/ethnic/political/ect. groups and/or peoples. But, you know what, if you can't take a joke then that's too bad, so although the jokes might be offensive, I don't think anyone should take offense. That being said, if you saw and liked the first movie, this is essentially more of the same. Harold and Kumar are the same likable loosers they were in the first film... and they're still getting high. Also, they're still getting lost. It's still funny though. Oh, and NPH steals the show. Again.
No special extras to speak of on this DVD, but I don't know that they're really needed anyway.
