BEFORE: This week's theme seems to be "Ethnic Buddy Comedies where Two Men are Wrongfully Imprisoned" - this is #3 in a series... I wasn't too crazy about the first "Harold & Kumar" film, let's see if the sequel is any better.
THE PLOT: The cross-country adventures of the pot-smoking duo as they try to outrun authorities who suspect them of being terrorists when they try to sneak a bong on board their flight to Amsterdam.
AFTER: OK, it was good for a couple of chuckles, but that's about it. Most of this was really lowest-common-denominator humor - in-between the drug jokes, dick jokes and poop jokes, there's cheap humor at the expense of Arabs, Jews, Koreans, Southerners, Cubans and Republicans (OK, at least that last group deserves it...)
The only positive things were the guest stars - Rob Corddry steals the film as an over-zealous Homeland Security agent, with Ed Helms as his unnecessary translator. Also Neil Patrick Harris again, Beverly D'Angelo (F.O.H.) as a backwoods madam, and Christopher Meloni (who also guest-starred as a different character in the first movie) as a KKK Grand Wizard.
RATING: 3 out of 10 magic mushrooms
