Inhale This

Take a toke and pass it on. Our favorite pot smoking perpetually high Asians are baaaaack! Kal Penn and John Cho return as Harold and Kumar in “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantamo Bay ” out in theaters now.

This time the movie strikes a more serious note, delving into the meaning of life and eastern wisdom. Yeah right. It’s shenanigans and hijinks as usual!!! The movie starts off with the boys finding themselves in trouble as they try to sneak a bong onto a flight to Amsterdam . Unfortunately the “bong” is mistaken for a “bomb” and Kumar is suspected of being a terrorist. Alas, the duo must now out run Homeland Security and escape Guantanamo while trying to clear their names.

Although it’s still pretty much a screwball comedy, the movie does hit a slightly (and we mean SLIGHTLY) deeper note playing with stereotypes (brown=terrorist) while at the same time showing people that Asians are more than just the “model minority”. We like weed too!!

Catch a sneak peak of the trailer here:
