Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay


Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay takes up almost immediately where Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle left off. John Cho and Kal Penn are reunited as our Korean/Indian stoner duo off to Amsterdam the land of de facto legal marijuana in search of no-hassle highs but most importantly Harold’s true love. On the plane Kumar’s smokeless bong is mistaken for a different type of incendiary so our tokin’ tokens without due process get fast tracked to Gt’mo. Their stay is only a short one and they literally escape on the back of a breakout terrorist. They float to Miami with some Cuban illegals and spend the rest of the movie crossing the Deep South to Texas because Kumar’s ex is in the lone star state and her fiancée is the only person who can clear their names. With a buffoon head of Homeland Security in pursuit, en route there are hilarious encounters with well bred inbreeding hillbillies, the KKK, Kumar’s personal hero Doogie Howser and even pass around a fattie with Dub’ya himself.  Sure unreal coincidence abounds but who expects reality from these two. In the meantime our rainbow anti heroes do a number lampooning the reality of racial profiling. The humour works for anyone 18 (or wishing they were 18) so if you liked the original then Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay will probably be a pretty good escape for you too.
