Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay

So Kathy and I spent last week watching "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle" over and over again. That has to be one of the best movies of all time, hands down. Well you can imagine we were VERY excited to catch the new one. Kathy spent the whole week re-enacting the terrorist scene from the preview, its pretty funny when she does it. Anyhow, we saw it last night. EH. It was funny, but NOWHERE near as funny as the original. The script itself is the problem, the boys get into CRAZY situations but not as crazy as the last scenarios they were put through. I miss the cheetah! It's something hard to explain when you laugh hysterically through a movie, but leave thinking that it could have been way better. Plus, the ending was a little dumb. I don't know. If you loved the first one, i'm sure you will watch this one regardless of what I say... so go for it, its funny. If you do go watch, stick around past the end credits.

Update: I didn't know this, but originally this was going to be released straight to video, that may explain its overall lack of amazingness compared to the original.
