Rod Corddry provides a wonderful addition to the cast as the completely paranoid government agent. Neal Patrick Harris was back again as a strange variant of himself. Cho and Penn were wonderful reprising their original roles.
Harold & Kumar make us laugh while they also challenge our perceptions and expectations of social and political reality. While there are times when Harold & Kumar's antics are just plain silly, they are also incredible human characters who are struggling with real challenges around parents, romance, friendship, the law, and race. These multicultural slackers are becoming American every-men that we can all relate to. Whereas the first film challenged racism and stereotyping, this one continued the theme into issues of racial profiling and War on Terror paranoia. The audience loved America's favorite slackers on their next adventure as their trip to Amsterdam goes incredibly wrong. But the World Premiere of Harold & Kumar Escape from Gauntanamo Bay last night as Austin's SXSW Film Festival was simply awesome. Sequels are, so often, horrible disappointments. As a fan of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, I really didn't think they could recapture the magic of the first film in the sequel.
