Harold and Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay

Bill and Ted. Jay and Silent Bob. Harold and Kumar...

These guys are a good combination. Like Kama Sutra with a hot Korean girl.

I saw the first movie, and though I thought it was pretty funny, being that I've never touched the Chronic in my life, I had a hard time finding the humor in all of the scenes. I felt like a nun watching porn.

This one, however, is funny as $hit!! It was like JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK without all the witty banter. In other words, they said some crass, f@cked-up $hit and did some crazy, borderline NC-17 sex stuff. Not hot, steamy sex. More like bizarre, I-can't-believe-they're-showing-this hilarious $hit. Nothing clever. Just straight-up vulgar.

It all starts with Harold and Kumar being on a plane to Amsterdam to find Harold's girl when Kumar gets accused of being a terrorist. I was cracking up when it all went down on the plane. I thought that scene in itself was funny. This sets them off on a weird, but hilarious chain of events where they keep getting in and out of trouble. I'm not telling you anymore. Go see it.

The homeland security dude who was trying to catch them was cracking me up. Harold's straight man to Kumar's rebel genius also make an unlikely likable, comedic pair. Never thought that a Korean and an Indian would headline a movie, spawn a sequel, and be highly successful doing it. I can't believe Kumar's a doctor on HOUSE. They should make a reality show based on the lives of Loveboat and Sharma. No one would look away from that train wreck.

This is a guys' movie. I don't know if I was just in the mood to laugh, but I'd put it up there with JAY AND SILENT BOB and TROPIC THUNDER. Not as clever, but I was laughing my a$$ off. Maybe it was just because it followed my viewing of BE KIND REWIND. I wonder if white people thought these two guys were funny.

Need a good laugh? Watch this movie. I give it two Korean import models 69ing each other at 7-11 after drinking some slurpees...

This was our last netflix movie. Dave busted out laughing several times, I couldn't muster a snicker. Thankfully, we put it on the laptop and propped that up at the foot of our bed so at least I got to watch it while lying in comfort. Maybe it's my hormones, or maybe it's my lack of a sense of humor, but I just don't get movies like this. I guess I just don't like to laugh.

No, I take that back...I laughed my butt off during Role Models...that was funny.
