But never has mass-market film comedy been a more popular messenger than now, and Harold & Kumar is merely the latest film to blend gross, under-graduate humour with themes that are important, topical and often uncomfortable. It's ironic, but by using a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel, the film is able to lampoon its targets with a precision that is often as surgical as it is funny. ... Full Review

He also takes care of the bodily function jokes while neat Harold (John Cho), who is studying accountancy, spends time raising his hands in horror. Harold's family is Korean, Kumar's Indian and the film enjoys itself mightily by putting them in the way of an exotic gallery of American bigots. ... Full Review

In short, despite some decent extras and technical values, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (Blu-Ray) was not only unworthy of the high definition treatment it was given but even the SD version from where I sit. There did appear to be two separate "looks" to the composition of the movie, perhaps due to the second unit having a different take on the way the elements should be shot, but the visuals were never the big problem with the movie as far as I was concerned. ...
