Movie Review : Harold and Kumar – Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)



Film Review : Harold and Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Director: Jon Hurwitz
Producer: Hayden Schlossberg
Cast: John Cho, Kal Penn, Roger Bart, Richard Christy
Distributor : New Line Cinema
Rating: 4 on 5 Stars

Harold and Kumar – Escape from Guantanamo Bay, the sequel, is another super hit movie by Kal Penn and John Cho. A non-stop comedy from the beginning till end will make you laugh through-out the movie. It is a satire on Bush War on terror and government’s high-handedness towards non-white Americans.

Director Jon Hurwitz has touched upon every possible concurrent themes i.e. racial discrimination against Asians, profiling of minorities at Airport, over cautious out look by Govt. staff etc. While reading this, you may think that ‘Escape from Guantanamo Bay’ would be a serious political movie but Director Jon has really treated it in a light humor, which you may really enjoy.

A welcome twist in this bindaas (Hindi version of cool), complete non-sense movie is that both Harold and Kumar manages to find their secret or should I say, lost love in this movie.

I am sure, some people will try to compare first Harold & Kumar with this sequel but I must say, that this one is equally good. The cast and the director have managed to live up-to the expectations. Over all, a great fun movie and a must watch for all adults. Yes, no children please. I am happy rate to it 4.0 on 5.00 Stars.

Cheers!
