November 5, 2011Neil Patrick Harris: Gentlemen start your engines! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!
This is a very stupid, vulgar, and predictable comedy, with some lame romantic comedy cliches and attempts at political satire, but you know what? It has some very funny moments. As a movie its not a... read more -
November 3, 2011fb733768972If any comedy deserves a sequel, it is Harold and Kumar, and even though it was very hyped and put on a larger scale with bigger actors and a bigger plot, it doesn't mean that the comedy doesn't become more of the same, while adding slapstick and gross-out jokes, while not specif... read more

June 3, 2011I really enjoyed the sequel to Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. This film picks up right where the events of the first film left off. Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay follows Harold & Kumar as they head to Amsterdam for a pot fueled holiday. Unfortunately Harold bring... read more

May 28, 2010I think it works slightly less than the original, but overall still pretty funny. I think they tried to go too big with this when the first one really had a better sense of scope. I think you can definitely go a lot worse, this is so harmless that you don't feel offended or abuse... read more

Harold and Kumar - escape from Guantanamo Bay is even better then its former movie although it wasn't as stoned as the first it isn't bad at all, the movie gets a nice lift that shouldn't be forgotten in awhile, normally a sequel isn't good yet som... read more -
December 31, 2009A slight step down overall when campared to its predecessor, but this is still a really damn hilarious and extreme satirical comedy in which no one is spared. The freshness wasn't all there, but I enjoed the movie regardless. Here's to hoping that future sequels keep from getting... read more

A fitfully funny if somewhat less excellent sequel. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
As much as I enjoyed the pot-fueled laughs and the sheer energetic lunacy of the original, I was really let down by this uninspired sequel.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The jokes all revolve around weed, stereotypes, and Neil Patrick Harris; the stereotype stuff is by far the funniest. Full Review

A guilty pleasure that retains the anarchic charms of the original. Full Review

This is one of those rare pictures that can gross you out and make you think at one and the same time. Full Review

Harold and Kumar are pothead patriots in the first feel-good torture film. Full Review

Most of the wannabe outrageous racial humor is too shallow to constitute real satire. Full Review

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
The film is carried by its charismatic stars, John Cho as Harold and Kal Penn as Kumar. Kumar plays Laurel to Harold's Hardy, continually getting the pair into messes. Cho is a marvel at displaying ex... Full Review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Offers a mix of nasty toilet jokes and sex gags, but the gratuitous nudity (male and female) and crazy cannabis-ness are there to serve a greater good: to mock social and political hypocrisy, a cultur... Full Review
