"Harold and Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay" is a raunchy, unfunny and plain hypocritical film that tries so hard to make fun of the people it parodies that it just comes off offensive.

"Harold and Kumar 2" stars once again Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) as two stoners. The film picks up right were the first left off, the two fresh off a wild adventure to get to White Castle have decided to take another trip, this time to Amsterdam. This trip however is destroyed when Kumar and Harold are arrested for being suspected terrorists after a mishap on the plane. They are investigated by a crazy federal agent Ron Fox (Rob Corddry). They are sent to Guantanamo Bay were they eventually escape. The rest of the film follows a somewhat predictable past as the two try to make there way back to New Jersey, prove their innocence's all while Kumar has his own side mission to find the only girl he has ever loved.

Ill start off with the bad. I honestly hated this film. After seeing the first, which was a funny and goofy comedy, I atleast expected to laugh as much as the first. This however did not happen, no instead I was left was a few chuckles, but a load of facepalms and turning away from the screen. This film really felt like it feel to the level of all the other parody films out there. I laughed more watching the ever so awful "Epic Movie" then I did watching this.

As for the "message" this film tries to give in all its shenanigans it ends up being more hypocritical then some of the things it tried making fun of. For example the character played by Rob Corddry, I can see what they were going for with him and his ideas, the who message that the use may be taking suspects and sending them away without investigation and what not. In the end, it went so over board that it wasn't funny but offensive, I mean some parts that were meant to be funny stereotypes were done so badly that you just had to facepalm.

The acting is also very bad. I mean you cant expect much from a film like this, but it is just horrible at parts. Harold and Kumar, who were funny in the first, just didn't have the same smart raunchy jokes as the first, no this time they left it all to gags and some disgusting scenes that make you look away before you want to laugh.

The plot was extremely predictable. My brother was amazed that I could point out everything that was to happen before it did. Overall this film is just bad, very bad. I don't recommend watching it, unless you really like these types of films. Some may disagree, but please offer your opinion because i cannot see how anyone could truly love this film unless they were as high as the two main characters were most of the time. Defiantly has reserved a spot in my worst of 2008 list. 3/10.
