Excited
Harold and Kumar – Escape From Guantanamo Bay opens tomorrow, Friday, April 25th. The original, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, opened almost 4 years ago on July 30, 2004. I remember reluctantly going to see this movie with my brother, who was interested in seeing the film.Personally, from the trailers, I thought this movie was going to be really bad – but much to my surprise, I found it hilarious.
Although the original only did about $18 million in the theaters, the DVD became a cult classic which grossed over $60 million over time, and led to the production of the sequel.
I saw Harold and Kumar 2 during this year’s San Francisco Asian American International Film Festival. I won’t spoil it for you, but definitely let me know what you thought of the movie if you catch it.

Managed to catch the film on this side of the pond. Pity, they never released it in the cinemas.
It did have a flippant attitude to Guantanamo Bay, but they did touch upon racial prejudice.
Not exactly "Valley of Elah", but enjoyable for what it is.

Reminds me of the time when we told our Sri Lankan friend to shave his moustache off due to looking like a bollywood villain.
Have to say, he hates going through American customs, during a stopover, whilst on his way to visit relatives in Canada.
There were mentions of Guantanamo Bay.
I believe one inmate in Guantanamo Bay was arrested for wearing a casio watch.
Funny that I wear a casio watch. Very useful watches, but will certainly take it off if I ever go to the U.S.A.
