Geronimo!

It is Monday which means another weekend just zoomed by (which is a quality of weekends,they zoom by while the weekdays drag!) which means I caught at least one new movie and which also means that you have more of my psychobabble to read and thank God up above that you are at least not as miserable as yours truly here!

So the movie that I saw this weekend is titled “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay”.

So Without further ado and idiocies let us begin, shall we?

Describe the Movie in one word – CrazyShiteThatIsSoStupidThatItIsFun!

Vital Stats:

Title: HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY
Director: Jon Hurwitz
Starring: John Cho, Kal Penn, Rob Corddry, Roger Bart, Neil Patrick Harris
Length: 100min


Plot: Second in the sequel of the Harold & Kumar series, this movie picks up where the first one ended. Harold wants to go to Amsterdam to surprise his girl Maria and thus takes his first vacation from his work in like ages. Obviously Kumar tags along. On the airport they run into Kumar's lost love interest Vannessa who it turns out is marrying this ultra handsome picture perfect guy whose father is George W Bush's right hand and who is super duper rich. Kumar gets seriously pissed. During the flight Kumar manages to get them both arrested as terrorists. The official who is managing FBI is this picture perfect stupid American who ships them off to Guantanamo Bay prison (google this if you don't know what this is). They however manage to escape from the prison but now they have to make their way to Texas where Kumar's ex is marrying that guy who is their only hope to get their names cleared. But they must run from the FBI, face all kind of weird situations along they way before they reach Texas.

Prez Bush makes a surprising "weed smoking" appearance

My Psychobabble: He he he! I mean LOL! I mean WTF ROTFLMAO! I mean what piece of cr*p! LOL! If you saw the first one (Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle) then you have a fairly good idea of what to expect from the Harold and Kumar series. If you are a "H n K" virgin and are planning to see this movie then dude/dudette make absolutely sure that your company(if you are not a sad alone human being who goes to the movies alone) is mature and comfortable enough to take an endless barrage of sexual inneundos, naked scenes, racist slurs, ultra high quality swearing and is someone who can be comfortable when Kumar fantisizes having a threesome with his girlfriend and a giant bag of weed(that has a ahem! opening to you know well suit Kumar's "needs").

The movie overall is crass and vulgar but like I said the makers have done such an awesome job of vulgarity and crassness that the movie actually manages to pack an almost endless bunch of laughter! Quiet a few situations have been lifted from the first movie in a way that would make you say "LOL! Not again guys, come on!!" but would surprise you in the way they unfold. Overall this movie is definitely worth a watch.

The perfect stupid American

Kal Penn and John Cho are both excellent as always. Kal has this amazing way of acting where he keeps his mouth slightly open and stares straight ahead into the space with his eyes fixed on some distant star or something and gives an expression as if he is experiencing some kind of spiritual orgasm. John Cho has perfectly played his part of a sincere guy who always gets screwed BIG time because of Kumar.

Kal's spiritual orgasm

Verdict: This movie is a genre of its own. It is not like American Pie where nudity had a certain elegance and often an illusive enigma to it. This is a true "here's my ar$e in your face and guess what, I am going to fart now" kind of humor. If you can let your hair down in a "I am her to rock and I don't care about the world way" then I would advise you to check it out at least. But do keep an open and tolerating mind. If you can manage to not judge the crassness of the scenes then trust me you would walk away with more than a few good laughs.
