 freakin hilarious November 13, 2008
if you liked the first, there is NO WAY you can dislike this one. it's gut-busting funny.
I laughed. A lot. I'm just not sure if I should feel guilty about that! October 14, 2008
First off, I have to say that, IMO, the first one was better. It's usually true of sequels, so that shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. As for the movie? Many of the jokes were crude and/or offensive to any number of religous/ethnic/political/ect. groups and/or peoples. But, you know what, if you can't take a joke then that's too bad, so although the jokes might be offensive, I don't think anyone should take offense. That being said, if you saw and liked the first movie, this is essentially more of the same. Harold and Kumar are the same likable loosers they were in the first film... and they're still getting high. Also, they're still getting lost. It's still funny though. Oh, and NPH steals the show. Again.
No special extras to speak of on this DVD, but I don't know that they're really needed anyway.
 Product not as described October 13, 2008
The case makes this look like a bootlegged copy, this was a gift for someone and I was humiliated. Thanks.
 Stupidly Funny October 8, 2008
This is really a pot head's movie. There's always a laugh in this film, mostly seeming to concern race. But I found those jokes to be handled in a really funny way. I mean many of the stereotypes explored in this film are rather stupid. So laughing at them makes them even stupider which shows that racism is, indeed, stupid.
Having said that there is a poltical statement from jump street in this film. Harold and Kumar are sent to Gitmo because they're believed to be terrortist, despite their protests. If that's not saying something then I don't know what is. Their parents are treated awfully, which is again another statement.
In fact this movie could be considered a political comedy, but it's not. It's still got the weed, but to a less degree this time than in the first.
Everyone is cast really well in this. I was happy to see John Reep(as I think he's rather funny) and he was spot on playing a Southern redneck you'll actually like.(Which, even though he's a Southerner, isn't as easy as you may think.)
I would hope to be seeing a third film, but if not two is just fine with me. They're going to be classic, stupid comedies.
Awesome October 6, 2008
People may say it's not as good as the first one but I think that is only because of the prejudice you automatically have when a second movie gets released.
This one is great because they have managed to capture the essence of the first movie. If they could not get the same actors it would not have been worth making....
So do yourself a favour and get it! An instant classic!
