I watched this the following day after it came out in theaters (04/26/2008). I wasn’t expecting to much due to the general trend of sequels sucking majorly. To my surprise however, it was funny and I enjoyed it! I am still debating on whether it is better than White Castle, but at least I thought it was good, lol.

Obviously this film isn’t for everybody. If you didn’t like White Castle, then save your money, because this time around it’s even more gross, disturbing, racist, etc. That being said, I thought the vulgarity was executed quite well throughout the movie and gave me an extra couple of good solid chuckles.
The jokes dealing with racist and political issues were funny. And the government agent, Ron Fox (played by Rob Corddry…hilarious. He’s the main deliverer of the typical stereotypes, and the delivery is great! The sad thing about his character is that on some level, there are people just like him in the world. I enjoyed how they tried to deflate certain stereotypes and at the same time they are making fun of the deflating as well (example: Harold and Kumar’s Jewish friends scene when they get interrogated by Ron Fox, lol)!

Great movie, I want to see it again. It’s great to see two Asian-Americans taking lead in a Hollywood film that’s not related to martial arts…even if it’s just a “stoner” movie. I dare say this is even a breakthrough, because it wasn’t until this franchise that we’ve seen Asian-Americans taking center stage like this. So while I’m still debating which “Harold & Kumar” I liked most, I definitely can say both were quite entertaining and gave me a good amount of laughs. Hopefully they’ll come out with a DVD bundle in the future, lol!
