Harold & Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) Options

[Djlunatix]

I'm a F****** film major and I have a lot of movies that are considered prestigious, and I seriously can't wait to see this, sometimes films don't need to make sense or be overtly hilarious, sometimes people just want to watch movies to have a good time, people need to stop over reacting to movies like this, it appeals to an audience that can appreciate ridiculous humor in a simplistic manner. So cheers to anyone who is excited about this movie, for everyone else go watch something deep and dramatic.

P.S. NPH rules.

I want to see this soooooooooo bad

[Flaunted]

So basically i saw the first show and it was a lolfest man.
If you have time stay for the end credits, its a brief moment but still super funny.
I love harold and kumar. more so harold than kumar but still.

[lkajsfklajskds]

I AM SO SEEING THIS illegally

[aaayotiffany]

i cannot wait to see this.
the first movie was sooo funny.

[mizzkewl06]

definately worth it! very funny shxt!

[Djlunatix]

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more raunchy then the first one. Shows literally everypart of the human male AND female anatomy. which was surprising for a Theatrical comedy. The movie itself is definitely more put together then the first, and was ridiculously hilarious, it does have a lot of scatological jokes and sex jokes, but the movie is a SEQUEL to a movie that was a giant advertisement for White Castle WHILE getting high. Its not the next oscar winner, and its not even the next great comedy classic, BUT you know what you are getting yourself into when you purchase that ticket...so don't expect anything more.

I actually prefer the first one, just because it was so random. As a critic in the Chicago Tribune reviewed, "Chasing freedom’s not as funny as chasing fast food." Still funny, regardless. It definitely has a lot more jokes though. Definitely worth watching, even though yahoo's movie reviews from critics gave it a C. D:

a lot of lmfao moments. My boyfriend laughed a lot, and that means something since not much makes him laugh... well, mainly compared to me, who laughs at everything. ;]

BTW, John Cho in the shower.... HAWT. lol @ the library scene. To the people who saw it, hahahah that was so random... The emoness with the bangs <333

So my friend had free movie passes so we saw Harold and Kumar, then snuck into Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

They were both insanely funny, though I actually liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall better. The second H&K was more slapstick and a whole lot more raunchy than the first one. Some of it seemed forced, but all in all, it was still hilarious. I'd recommend it.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was PRICELESS. I'm definitely buying this when it comes out on DVD.

I don't really think you can compare the two comedies, both offer a different style of humor. But I agree that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is EXCELLENT. I've seen it 3 times now, and it still doesn't get old. Its just a really well put together comedy that touches almost everyone who has been in a relationship.

LMAO, the Emo-Ness was awesome. I also agree that Chasing freedom thing is slightly overdone, but the movie makes fun of everything not just 1 thing in particular, so really no offense can be taken by it.

I wasn't really comparing them, just saying that if I had the choice to wat's just better suited to my taste of humor, I guess.

But comparing the first HK and the second, I definitely liked the first one better. The second one was funny, but at times, I feel like it just tries a little bit too hard.

Did anybody see that bit after the credits? lulz.

So my friend had free movie passes so we saw Harold and Kumar, then snuck into Forgetting Sarah Marshall..

We saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which we all enjoyed) and then snuck into Harold and Kumar (officially the only movie I have ever walked out on).

That shit was awful. The attempted satire of America was idiotically juxtaposed against an appeal to the lowest common denominator (bravo for sucking so hard). I enjoyed the first one (although I would never aspire to own it), but this sequel is far too self-important to be so unfunny.

[fagget]

^ Thanks a lot. Now, I'm afraid to say that I enjoyed this movie too much.

Don't worry, you're what... fifteen years old? You have a long way to go. No point in worrying quite yet.

[pandamonium]

[AimeeLynn]

I LOVEEDDD this movie! Better than the first one.

Ugh, this is the reason why I can't stand film majors and/or elitist movie snobs. For me, Harold and Kumar is a movie you go to high, see high, then leave happy as f**k with an urge to satisfy your munchies at White Castle.

Review: http://labuzamovies.com/Harold_%26_Kumar_2.html

As much as I love to disagree with him (he's another one of those elitist film major, my-opinion-is-better-than-yours movie buffs that live on my floor), I actually agree with everything he says about the movie in his review.

What is the reason you can't stand "film majors and/or elitist movie snobs?" Is it because I disliked a movie you liked? I'm really not getting it.

[Melissa]

No.

I actually edited that part out of my post, but there are a few film majors on my floor and they're really obnoxious to watch movies with. They have an elitist, my-taste-is-better-than-yours attitude and constantly say things similar to what I quoted you as saying.

Even when I agree with them, I hate listening to them talk because they tend to go into things that nobody else really cares about. Yeah, Harold and Kumar was a little over the top, but I personally think that's what gives it appeal. And then somebody like you comes along and says something like:

What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

[*paperplane*]

Nate, did you like the first one?

[NoSex]

Yeah, Harold and Kumar was a little over the top, but I personally think that's what gives it appeal.

The filmmakers might have thought they were going "over the top," but it's kind of hard to threaten the "status-quo" when you appeal to it so feverishly. I guess, I'm just not convinced that full-frontal nudity or scatological humor is "over the top," and, even if it is... the top must be pretty f**king shallow. Someone wrote that it resembled an extended "Carlos Mencia skit." I can't say I disagree (holy f**k, that guy is unfunny).

See Female Trouble, Cecil B. Demented, or Pink Flamingos. That's sincere trash-cinema - hilarious, subversive, and all made by John Waters. It's not like I'm a high-brow, nose-in-the-air sort of guy - I'm not. I'm a no-brow activist, and a purveyor filth. But, that filth has to be something worthwhile - this isn't even anything new. It's just boring and unfunny, through and through.

What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

Have you ever seen the film Idiocracy? It's sort of like that. Just as you can't effectively satirized non-intelligence with a barrage of jokes that only appeal the morons, you cannot effectively critique America by having a target audience which represents half of what is wrong with America (the audience applauded when they saw female pubic hair).

Nate, did you like the first one?

Yes.

[mizzkewl06]

This movie was fricking HALLAARIOUSS i was laughing the whole way through. I'd definitely see that again.

I don't understand grape soda though?

agreed.


from my understanding ignorant people seem to think grape soda and/or kool-aid are a like sacred to african-americans, kind of like how people think money is to jewish people. he was trying to poke fun at the fact that he was wasting something that he thought meant a lot to them.

[Just_Dream]

the top must be pretty f**king shallow.

Shallow as in superficial, or shallow as in not-deep-shallow? The latter wouldn't make any sense though... Hmmm.. Just wondering.



I LOVE GRAPE SODA. Seriously, I don't understand how it's even a bad thing.

Shalloy as in superficial, or shallow as in not-deep-shallow? The latter wouldn't make any sense though... Hmmm.. Just wondering.
