The movie's climax sees Harold and Kumar accidentally parachuting into a home occupied by none other than George W. Bush (James Adomian). Of all the government skewering, the president is actually given the most sympathetic portrayal, which is a little disappointing in the sense that the "My dad shouldn't push me around anymore" characterization feels a good seven years old. Adomian's impression is pretty good, though, despite looking absolutely nothing like Bush.

This sequel was originally just going to be called Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam, but writer/directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, with a swell of inspiration, found themselves taking this new direction and just running with it. It's a nice surprise. Overall the movie's quite funny, about on par with this first. Penn and Cho again provide a very likable central duo, and Corddry and Patrick are priceless.

Movie Grade: B
