Plots(1)
Comedy sequel starring Kal Penn and John Cho as the eponymous pot-loving twosome. Having just finished stuffing their faces with White Castle hamburgers, Harold and Kumar decide to fly to Amsterdam so Harold can declare his love to his beautiful neighbour, Maria (Paula Garcés). Unfortunately, when the bong that Kumar smuggles onto the flight is mistaken for a bomb, the pair are accused of being terrorists and subsequently dropped off at Guantanamo Bay where they are detained by the deranged Deputy Chief of Homeland Security, Ron Fox (Rob Corddry). The two friends manage to escape and make it back to the United States, hoping to prove their innocence. Unfortunately, several obstacles stand in their way, including the dreaded Ku Klux Klan, a one-eyed, inbred monster, and old friend, Neil Patrick Harris (as himself), who takes the boys on an ill-fated visit to a brothel.

The first film didn’t deserve this. John Cho and Kal Penn are equally great, and the buddy chemistry still works perfectly, but the humor is mostly a level below that of the original. The plotline with government agents is particularly tacky and lame. I did have a few laughs, and the “bottomless” party and the final postcard from Amsterdam were nice. But if it weren’t for those things, this sequel wouldn’t merit even these two stars.

The desperate sequence of illogicalities and awkward coincidences is at least somewhat offset by the occasional twinge of a good joke and a great cameo by N. P. Harris. Yet the rest is the opposite of the first film, which benefited from the atmosphere of a stoner adventure. That’s because this is just a dull road movie where the Cuba-Texas route promised much more than a few farting, fisting a pack of weed, and a faint wink at political incorrectness. It’s a missed opportunity and sparks fears of the planned third film.

No, it's not quite it. Right from the start, there are toilet humor jokes that simply aren't funny. However, these two characters, just because you see them again, you kind of fall in love with them. Or something like that. They are tolerable, which is definitely good because otherwise it would be unwatchable. Some jokes are good, but there aren't many of them. Kumar is quite annoying in this episode, but in the end, of course, he saves the day. Oh well, at times it's terribly cliché.
