Plot Synopsis
Storyline
The morning they return from their White Castle road trip, Harold and Kumar decide to go to Amsterdam because Harold doesn't want to wait ten days to see Maria again. On the plane, Kumar lights up his new bong, the air marshals think it's a bomb, and Harold and Kumar are arrested as terrorists and sent to Guantanamo Bay. Ordered to fellate a guard, they manage to escape, make their way to Florida, and head for Texas to find Kumar's ex-girlfriend's fiancé, the well-connected Colton, and get him to intercede with Washington on their behalf. Kumar still has a thing for Vanessa, the feds are in hot pursuit, and the legal weed of Amsterdam seems a long way away. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Kumar Patel: [taking a dump] Oh God, dude!
Harold Lee: [in shower] What the fuck? What the fuck? What are you doing?
Kumar Patel: I'm taking the most incredible dump of all time, man.
Harold Lee: You couldn't wait until I got out of the shower?
Kumar Patel: Um, may I remind you that we both just ate 30 burgers and 4 large orders of fries?

Kumar Patel: Don't worry, in a little bit I'm sure it'll hit you too.

Trivia
According to Hollywood Reporter (27 April 2008 issue), Warner Bros' distribution president Dan Fellman said this movie was originally produced as a straight-to-video movie until a decision was made to release it theatrically. See more »Goofs
About midway through the movie, before Harold and Kumar spot the the two KKK members in the forest and right after Kumar's fantasy sex scene, when they are walking through the dark forest, you can see something metallic clearly reflecting light in the background in the woods as the camera pans sideways following the two actors. The shiny object looks like it might be a mirror of a car, since it is above the ground. See more »Quotes

Other than being more political (Anti-Bush), I can't see one thing that is new in this sequel. The "nude girls", "the busty wh*&^", "the lesbian sex, "piss", "shit", "fart", "Doogie Howser". I think these "slacker" comedies are becoming too predictable and maybe too gross for sake of it. Another gear up and it will "Salo".
Can't recall one laugh out loud moments. A few giggles here or there, but thats about it. Really not much to write about in terms of performances or writing. I get a feeling most of the stuff on these are impromptu. I mean if you run out of ideas you can always go back to nature "piss", "shit", "fart" and "f@#$".
All in all, clearly makers were in a hurry to cash in a new found attention for the franchise. Harold and Kumar had basically gained attention after the DVD release. The first one was a decent effort where some of the jokes clicked. This one was a "bummer".
Check it out if interested in "bottomless" young chicks. Can't think of one single incentive. Then again maybe that is a good enough reason.
