After being mistaken for terrorists, best friends Harold and Kumar get sent to the notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Then, as the title indicates, they escape. The rest of the movie revolves around their efforts to get their names cleared, and the many so-called adventures they have along the way.
Most of Harold and Kumar’s escapades involve sex, drugs, nudity, or some combination of the three. There is not one scene in this movie that is free of foul language; even most of the soundtrack is full of objectionable lyrics. Bathroom humor and racial jokes round out the package. When Harold and Kumar end up at President Bush’s Texas ranch, the President takes them into his private room, which is decorated with posters of pinup girls, and they all smoke marijuana. Few movies are as far from receiving the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal as “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.”
