| PremiereJenni MillerAt the screening I attended, someone walked in wearing a shirt that read "I HEART BONGS," so that gives you a pretty good idea of the target audience. Maybe this time they will rouse themselves from the couch and make it possible for us to follow Harold and Kumar through more adventures. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaIt's not exactly high art, but it's certainly high. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe big payoff, of course, is Neil Patrick Harris reprising his role as "Neil Patrick Harris." |
| Austin ChronicleJosh RosenblattAnyone can come up with jokes about incestuous rednecks or pubic hair that "looks like Osama bin Laden's beard," but it takes guts to make a comedy in which the Indian-American hero accuses an African-American TSA agent of racial profiling, all so he won't get caught smuggling weed onto a plane. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanHarold and Kumar, fortunately, never lose their verbally relentless way of delivering raunch as pure common sense. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyThey are Abbott & Costello with dirty mouths--indomitable, ungovernable, and possibly immortal. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn over-the-top and beyond-PC comedy that sometimes deftly, sometimes slapdashedly infuses party-hearty anarchy with hectoring moral outrage. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottPrecisely because their attitudes are so bluntly hedonistic and apolitical, Harold and Kumar manage to be fairly persuasive when they get around to criticizing the status quo, which the movie has the wit to acknowledge itself as part of. |
| Film ThreatPete Vonder HaarHonestly, the most shocking thing put forth in Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay just might be the proposition that George W. Bush is actually a pretty cool guy. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekThat rare sequel that builds on the movie that came before it without crushing its attributes to death. "Escape" doesn't feel belabored. Giddy, freewheeling and sweet-natured, it pulls off the effect of seeming spontaneous, a tall task by itself. |
