So the original is one of my favorite movies ever, really it is, I cant count how many times Ive seen it. This is also before it became a cult hit on dvd over the past 4 years, and Ive been waiting a long time for this sequel.
So obviously I was going to be a bit disapointed but I dont know if its the years of hype or that the fact that the first half hour is just filled with easy and over used jokes, and really sometimes I wondered if this movie was bordering on the offensive line when it comes to the race factors, and Im white, so that says something. Im all for having funny racist sterotypes being exploited but some of them I guess just wasnt that funny.
Still, it has some classic Harold and Kumar moments and the theatre I was in was PACKED so Im betting there will be a third one and hope they can finish it off with a solid triolgy.
Some of the cameos were weak though, completely underused characters.
