“Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” wasn’t “Citizen Kane.” It also wasn’t “Animal House.” But it was a good guilty pleasure with a casting spin that gave it an edge.
The film’s sequel, which hits DVD shelves July 29, features more stereotype busting — and little else. “Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay” is a great title, a funny concept and a lousy movie, sad to say. My Washington Times review explains the rest.
It does perk up at the end, though, thanks to a cheeky cameo by a certain Commander in Chief impersonator. That could muster enough good will for a third “H&K.” Better stock up on Lays potato chips and pretzels.
I’m hoping the boys retire along with their predecessors, Cheech and Chong.
