Harold & Kumar - Flucht aus Guantanamo

Das hat der erste Film nicht verdient. John Cho und Kal Penn sind super und die Buddy-Chemie funktioniert immer noch ausgezeichnet. Das Niveau des Humors ist aber gesunken. Besonders die Geschichte mit den Regierungsagenten ist sehr peinlich und krampfhaft. Ich habe aber ein paarmal gelacht, die Party unten ohne und die Postkarte aus Amsterdam waren angenehm. Ohne sie hätte ich dem Film aber nicht einmal 2* gegeben. (15.03.2009)

The desperate sequence of illogicalities and awkward coincidences is at least somewhat offset by the occasional twinge of a good joke and a great cameo by N. P. Harris. Yet the rest is the opposite of the first film, which benefited from the atmosphere of a stoner adventure. That’s because this is just a dull road movie where the Cuba-Texas route promised much more than a few farting, fisting a pack of weed, and a faint wink at political incorrectness. It’s a missed opportunity and sparks fears of the planned third film. (02.08.2008)

It's not quite the same anymore. Right from the start, we get fecal jokes that just aren't funny. However, these two characters, simply because you see them a second time, become quite lovable. Or something to that effect. They are tolerable, which is definitely a good thing because otherwise, it would be unwatchable. Some of the jokes are good, but there aren't many. Kumar is quite annoying in this episode, but of course, he saves the day in the end. It's also a terrible cliché in places. (27.02.2014)
