You know what to expect going in so don’t whine when it’s served up on a plate. Yes if you’re hoping for anything more than dick, fart and boob jokes you best look elsewhere, for Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay follows in it’s predecessors footsteps in the content department.

Its gross-out humour for the kids and if you can turn the intellect off for a couple hours it works just fine. From the facial sperm shots the dick sandwiches being served up to doughnut hating terrorists in Guantanamo, each shot is pretty cheap, you know it, they know it, but we’re all ok with it.

This sequel to 2004’s, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, continues the plot with Harold teaming up with best friend Kumar in order to head to Amsterdam and win the heart of the beautiful Maria. Of course soon enough things go horribly awry with the boys being mistaken for plane-jacking terrorists. This unfortunate twist turns their travel plans upside down, landing them in Guantanamo Bay detention facility where they face a fate worse than death. Soon enough they escape and their adventure to freedom begins.

The film’s attempt at holding a mirror up to the current terror paranoia that is gripping America is a little heavy handed. The intent is admirable but the over dumbing-down of Rob Corddry’s, Secretary Fox character labours the point and takes the edge of what could have been a very funny character. As it stands the uber-lost patriot gets a few laughs by flying the flag for all ignorant allies of the war on terror with reckless abandon.

Perhaps the most absurd and funniest character in the film is Dubbya himself. Without giving too much away the lads cross paths with the president and it turns out old Bushy can party hardy!

If you liked the first Harold and Kumar this might be worth ya $15 at the cinema but if your interest is a passing one at best, this will be a good watch when it hits DVD shelves.
