YMMV / Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

• Critical Dissonance: It got So Okay, It's Average reviews that were notably lower than its predecessor, but it grossed nearly twice as much.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In 2011, Paula Garces (Maria) stars in a drama called "Gitmo", a reference to Guantanamo Bay. Going from a movie that treated Guantanamo so light-hearted to one that takes the subject matter seriously also counts as Mood Whiplash.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: One can only wonder how Fox would react to Barack Obama as president.
• Informed Wrongness: Kumar, big time. He may have been guilty of negligence, but not at a couple of critical junctures. First, after Colton sells them out to Fox to be sent back to Guantanamo Bay, Harold blames Kumar for not staying in the car earlier, even though he had a perfectly good explanation (Vanessa snuck out and injured her foot); Kumar correctly notes that it was Colton himself. Later, during Vanessa and Colton's wedding, Vanessa gets angry with him for ruining it, even though Colton himself started the fight, first by backstabbing the duo and physically threatening them after they expose him.
• Sequelitis: A common criticism for the movie was its tendency to recycle jokes from the first movie.
• Squick:
  • When interrogating Rosenberg and Goldstein, Fox literally wipes his ass with the Fifth Amendment and shows them the revolting results.
    Goldstein: Why the hell is your ass so dirty? Don't you wipe?
    Fox: Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to, buddy.
  • The hillbilly husband proudly tells them "We're siblings, and we get it on." In the basement, Harold and Kumar encounter the couple's Cyclops incest baby.
  • Kumar masturbating in bed and suddenly ejaculating all over his own face.
  • Kumar's threesome fantasy with his crush... and a giant bag of pot. An anatomically correct bag of pot.
  • Three words: cock meat sandwich.
