Movie review of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - 4/10
Directed by Jon Hurwitz,Hayden Schlossberg
Cast - Kal Penn, John Cho

Plot Summary
Follows the cross-country adventures of the pot-smoking duo as they try to outrun authorities who suspect them of being terrorists when they try to sneak a bong on board their flight to Amsterdam.

Review
Definitely not as good as the first installment. To
be honest it was alittle disappointing. I did not enjoy the sequel as much as I did on the first one. Even though I did laugh at some of the jokes but for every one good joke there, there were at least 3 horrible ones. The editing was horrible and the acting was mediocre. Even the George Bush impersonator looks so fake . But then again this is a Hollywood slapstick comedy, so you don't really need acting skills here. That much being said, it's official, Kal Penn can and should only do comedic roles. He can't do serious ones for shit cos all you want to do is laugh when he is acting.
Nothing fantastic so worth watching only on a weekday.

Best Quote
Kumar Patel: So, you like, smoke weed, then throw people in jail for smoking weed? Thats so hypocritical, dude.
George W. Bush: Do you like to give hand jobs?

Kumar Patel: Uh, no.

George W. Bush: Do you like to get hand jobs?

Kumar Patel: Well, yeah!

George W. Bush: That makes you a fuckin' hypocriticizer too!
