All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
My pal
Molly had the honor of heading out to the screening of
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay to let the rest of us know how it was.

It's always exciting when a comedy that's genuinely funny does well with audiences, and that was the case this weekend with the female buddy comedy
Baby Mama starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The ladies won the top spot with an estimated $18.3 million, handily beating out the other comedy opening over the weekend,
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. EW reports that while
this wasn't the best movie opening for either Fey or Poehler, their film did much better than many box office watchers predicted.

The great thing about Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle is that there were no expectations. The news of its secret hilarity spread quietly through whispers and surprised admissions — You know what I saw last night OnDemand that was oddly incredible? It was a time when a Neil Patrick Harris cameo was delightfully random since no one had seen much of him since Doogie Howser and the simple fact of two guys on a quest for greasy sliders was plot enough.

Admittedly, the first Harold and Kumar movie (
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) didn't quite interest me enough to watch the whole thing. I know some people loved it, but I was still surprised to find out that their continuing with Harold and Kumar's story in
Harold and Kumar 2, also known as Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam.
The teaser trailer was recently released and it definitely made me laugh out loud several times, so it looks like I'll be checking out this installment of the Harold and Kumar adventures.
