Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
The stars of Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle are back in this sequel written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who also happens to be the director of this movie.
Harold Lee (John Cho) and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn), who are medical university students, decide to travel to Amsterdam to look for Harold's dream girl Maria (Paula Garces).
On the plane Kumar decides to test his new invention - a smokeless pipe. Mistaken as Arab and North Korean terrorists, they are taken to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In the Bay they experience the horrors much criticised in the media.
Of course they successfully escape from Guantanamo and seek their friends' help to clear their names, but that is not an easy task especially with federal agent (Rob Corddry) chasing them throughout their road-trip across the country from Florida to Texas to meet with Colton. (Eric Winter) who is a young politician about to marry Kumar's ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Daneel Harris).
Colton knows people with connections and promised to be the duo's man if they ever needed help but that is not an easy task since the racist federal agent is doing his very best to find them and put them where they belong ... in Guantanamo.
The movie also has some romantic action for both actors. We have Harold pursuing his girl Maria and Kumar who still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend Vanessa and is plotting to ruin her wedding with Colton.
My favourite part was when one of the federal agents was trying to communicate with both Harold and Kumar's parents. It shows that due to the 9/11 attacks, the American government (during George W Bush's presidency) was treating people according to the colour of their skin.
I think that this movie will certainly entertain Harold and Kumar's fans.
It is a funny movie but in a gross and stupid way. It has lots of sequences where both friends make stoned jokes and political comments that are comic but very real at the same time.
For me Harold & Kumar is a movie I would watch in the cinema if I had absolutely no better choices. I think it is just more fun to watch it on DVD in the comfort of your own home.
