I have to admit that the trailers, both regular and red-band had me worried about Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.  The title alone suggested that it would have a very short shelf-life (although maybe I’m just being optimistic about changing our tactics in the War on Terror) and this was a film that found its audience on DVD which is a double-edged sword because while you have a loyal audience, there’s a temptation to lean on all the jokes that worked before (see Family Guy before its cancellation and after its renewal).

But I can happily say that the sequel is just as good as the original.  There are a few nods to the first film, but I’d say about 95% of the material is new and most of it is painfully hilarious.  My brother and I were laughing pretty much non-stop throughout the film and there were more than a few gags that had us gasping for air.  I’ll have my full review in the May edition of INsite (and possibly this weekend on Collider.com), but just as a heads-up: fans of the original will not be disappointed.

Also, this story gives me the excuse to once again display the greatest poster ever made:
