It’s Bottomless, Not Topless on Harold and Kumar
If you’re into watching movies about pot smoking slackers who just happen to run into the craziest situations and even famous people on their journies throughout life, and you like the Forrest Gump type of movie where happen stance situations occur like that and can suspend reality to laugh your butt off for a while, then the Harold and Kumar sequel, Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay is for you. My sister and I went to see this movie, and it’s pretty darn funny.
What made me write about it for this blog is that there is a hilarious scene in the movie where a friend of theirs has a revolutionary idea in that he has a “bottomless” party instead of a topless party, because who does bottomless parties? No one, right? He has women standing around just hanging out on the bottom instead of exposing their breasts, and it’s actually a funny part of the movie.Â
The movies are both definitely what you’d call low brow, sophomoric humor, but dammit, it’s fun to laugh at that sometimes! The humor ranged from politically incorrect humor to racial profiling humor, to jokes about the proverbial white ignorant guy who probably means well but makes Americans look as dumb as ever to people not from this country.Â
It’s a great post 911 movie that takes a look at the hysteria surrounding us being another victim, but not in a serious way whatsoever – oh no, their intentions aren’t to “make people think” with this movie, but rather to get them to stop thinking so much and just laugh at what bunch of idiots we can all look like sometimes when we find ourselves judging others based on something that shouldn’t even be used to base opinions on, like skin color, ethnic background, sex and where you come from (state wise, this is for people in the US).Â
All in all, it was a hilarious movie, and although the female nudity and breast shots were totally gratuitous, what else would you expect from a Harold and Kumar sequel, right?
