'Harold and Kumar Escape' is a Can’t Miss film

MoviesIf nothing else, “Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay” sounds like a tough location shoot. Fortunately, the boys aren’t there for long, and neither is the film. In fact, if you’ve ever eaten at a White Castle — the site of a previous adventure by the stoner duo — you’ll know that sometimes it’s harder to escape that drive-through line. In this newest entry, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are mistaken for terrorists. Miraculously, they do escape from the notoriously secure penitentiary, but then have to elude a rabidly determined Homeland Security chief (Rob Corddry), who believes they represent a new, more virulent strain of terrorist and are not simply two slackers who like to smoke dope. Warning: If they put people in Guantanamo Bay for being politically incorrect, these filmmakers would land in solitary confinement. (New Line Cinema, opens Friday)
