Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay. Oh, you know you want to see it and you know what? You should. Admittedly, I was a big fan of the first movie. Although I had massive misgivings about a sequel, I was pleasantly surprised. The movie assumes position right after the first one ended. "Roldi" and Kumar are off to Amsterdam to meet up with Harold's recent main squeeze, Maria. There is so much that happens along the way it'd be hard to synthesize (at least for me it would be) into this review. Kumar runs into his ex, who is getting married. The guys are arrested for being terrorists when an extremely nervous passenger spies Kumar lighting a "smokeless bong" which looks very much like a bomb. After that, hilarity ensues. Rest assured, Neil Patrick Harris is back as himself. Well, the 'Harold and Kumar' version of himself- drugged out and on a mission to get laid (by female prostitutes).

I had several favorite scenes and I either laughed or cringed throughout the whole movie. My favorites included the main characters showing up at a KKK gathering and a flashback, well several of them, to Kumar's discovery of marijuana. The movie uses the original's formulation of equal parts raunch, comedy, political subversion and even a bit of romance. Honestly, I may have been the oldest person in the theatre but many times I was the loudest while laughing too. B+
