Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Preview


Ah… Harold and Kumar make their triumphant return to the movie screen Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo. As you remember in their previous adventure, the duo of slacking anti-heroes had to relieve a case of the munchies that was caused by weed. John Cho and Kal Penn return as Harold and Kumar. Neil Patrick Harris also makes another appearance in the movie. Also most of the cast from the original appears to be reprising their role in the second movie. Both of the writers from the previous movie return but this time they also take the part of the director in this movie.

In this adventure, the pair gets themselves in trouble by trying to sneak onto a flight to Amsterdam with Kumar attempting to sneak a bong on board. As you may remember from the ending of the first one, Harold wants to fly to Amsterdam to chase down his love interest, Maria. Now that they are suspected of being terrorists, Harold and Kumar have to find a way to prove that they aren’t terrorists while running away from the police who are chasing the escaped convicts. Similar to the previous movie, along the adventure the pair will realize an important part of life that will continue their growth from slackers.

I cannot wait for this movie. I really liked the first one and it sounds like this will be very similar to the original movie. With both the writers returning, you know the dialogue will be the exact same. It is also very helpful that almost all of the cast has reprised their role in the movie so it will give you a true feeling on continuity between the first and second movie. The storyline sounds like it is full of potentially funny situations. However this time the expectations of the movie will be a lot greater. The question won’t be if it is a funny movie but whether or not the movie met expectations.
