A Classic Example of Suffering Sequel Syndrome, 27 May 2008
5/10
Author: shre123 from Canada

As soon as I finished Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, I couldn't wait for the sequel. And now I didn't have to wait any longer. Going into this movie I expected a extremely funny, dirty, and a possibly racism driven adventure. I thought the the writers from the last movie would exhibit their talent for making Dick flicks of a high quality. Unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed. This film did not warrant as many laughs as the last movie did. It carried the same flow of the first film but became progressively bigger and bigger, too big for the movie itself. The racism jokes I was so eagerly expecting, as i am of Indian Origin ha ha, came off as extremely stereotypical and stuff that I hear everyday. Watching the movie was like living out a day at school except without the whole crazy adventure part. I will admit that there were some hilarious scenes but they drowned in the depth of horrible jokes and nonsensical plot line, even for Harold and Kumar. I'm all for a little display of skin in such a movie as this but H&K:EFGB was a borderline porn movie making it disgusting rather than edgy. I went to this movie with a couple of testosterone driven big boys to enjoy some good old sex comedy movie but we were all hugely disappointed after it was over. It portrayed itself as funny, it was at parts, when it really wasn't. I'm a 19 year old guy from Montreal: I laugh at stupid nudity jokes, south park episodes and I am a huge fan of the first H&K movie so hear this, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo bay is at best a 2 dollar download from Itunes or a 1 dollar rental from your nearest store.
