[edit] Movie not titled "Harold & Kumar go to Amsterdam"

Just wanted to make a note because it's been stated in several places, by both stars of the film, that the title is not "... go to Amsterdam". One example is here.

[edit] "... End up in Gitmo" title

The MTV source cited doesn't seem to support the change in this article's title from Untitled Harold & Kumar Sequel to Harold & Kumar End Up in Gitmo. Should the title change be reverted? Is there another source that is more explicit about how the movie will ultimately be titled? — Hiplibrarianship 05:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Update: Writer/director Hayden Schlossberg occasionally posts to the IMDb discussion board under the screename hpschlos: in a 7 June message he denied the "Gitmo" title, and provided the "High Alert" title on 13 June. — Hiplibrarianship 05:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

The release date is Feburary 8, both the refrences there say it is so don't change it back to april 4! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.145.225 (talk) 19:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Various sources now confirm the 25 April release date, including IMDb postings from directors Hurwitz and Schlossberg. — Hiplibrarianship (talk) 04:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What Happened?

This article was full last time I saw it, now it has nothing??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.145.225 (talk) 17:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

probably cos the article used to be about Amsterdam and now its bout Guantanamo bay, just guessin'...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.171.9 (talk) 10:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC) 

[edit] Bias?

As much as I loved the first movie (and i'm sure this one will be fucking incredible), it seems like there are only positive reviews. Maybe there aren't many negative reviews, and the critics certainly seem to like it, but there has to be one. Also, the format of the reviews' placement in this article isn't very formal. Could we rewrite it in some way? --George The Man (talk) 20:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I removed the UGO and CinemaBlend blurbs to make it so the reception section doesn't give undue weight to the positive reviews. Some negative reviews could be added to reflect that the film got mixed reviews overall. --Pixelface (talk) 09:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should the 'Plot' be removed?

I don't know about you guys, but shouldn't the plot be removed? I mean, we don't even have a source for it. Ruthless Xero (talk) 04:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Well after seeing the various trailers of it...guessing Mr. Spock ^^ 87.185.123.122 (talk) 20:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Nah, leave the plot. It's correct, and we aren't likely to find such a good review anytime soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.188.19 (talk) 06:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] budget

Where's a source for that budget? This movie looks even bigger than the first and the first movie's budget was $9M. I'd estimate more like six-teen million dollars.ChesterG (talk) 03:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rosenberg and Goldstein.

Can any source confirm that their given names are "Manny" and "Chevitz"? I believe it is a mere referential joke about their Jewish ancestry (Manischewitz being an iconic Jewish wine).
