There are comedy movies in which you leave the theater no smarter than when you got there. Some unfortunately have the lasting effect of dumbing you down, hopefully on a temporary basis. The second installment of Harold and Kumar's adventures could hardly be any more silly and nonsense. But the fact of the matter is, unless you really lack a sense of humour, they're actually funny as hell sometimes. Ok, most of the time.

These are talented actors doing a silly comedy movie. I'm particularly partial to John Cho having seen him for the first time in a show that aired on Portuguese TV a few years ago called Off Centre in which he plays the brilliant Chau Presley. Unfortunately, on "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" there's much more Kumar than Harold (and even less of Guantanamo Bay, if I may add), to the point of me thinking John Cho was actually way underused in this movie.

But no matter. Their adventures are actually fun to watch, no matter how improbable they get. From bottomless (forget topless, that's out, man) parties, to crashing out a Ku Klux Klan get together unlike any you may have heard of, with a lot of joint smoking in between, including an hilarious cool down with George W. Bush himself. Neil Patrick Harris also plays a small but deadly (literally) hilarious part as himself.

These movies have an awful tendency to suck, especially when they get to slapstick territory which, thankfully, is not the case here. "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" gets away with only a couple of really stupid not funny type scenes. Being as it is, other than that its only fault is probably being just a little too long but even that doesn't keep it from easily being one of the funniest Summer comedies around. Oh and it helps if you go see it with low expectactions.

RAMÓN!
