Harold, Kumar jump the stoned shark

"Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" wasn't "Citizen Kane." It also wasn't "Animal House." But it was a good guilty pleasure with a casting spin that gave it an edge.

The film's sequel features more stereotype busting -- and little else. "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" is a great title, a funny concept and a lousy movie. My Washington Times review explains the rest.

Let's hope the boys retire along with their predecessors, Cheech and Chong.
