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)

No, it's not quite it. Right from the start, there are toilet humor jokes that simply aren't funny. However, these two characters, just because you see them again, you kind of fall in love with them. Or something like that. They are tolerable, which is definitely good because otherwise it would be unwatchable. Some jokes are good, but there aren't many of them. Kumar is quite annoying in this episode, but in the end, of course, he saves the day. Oh well, at times it's terribly cliché. (27.02.2014)

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)
