Slow Day.

I've read Kyle Smith's review of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay several times. As criticism, it's worthless, but this is hilarious:
The very funny extended cameo by Neil Patrick Harris in the first movie revived the former Doogie Howser, M.D. star’s career and won him a role on How I Met Your Mother, but this time we know Harris is coming and he doesn’t do much when he does. Harris (again playing a wild-eyed parody of himself) gives the boys a ride while gobbling magic mushrooms. And this leads to…nothing. Oh, he thinks he sees a unicorn. That’s about it.

That's about it. Jesus Christ, man, he saw a unicorn! As one who has, on occasion, um, partaken, I assure you that seeing these mythical beasts is highly unusual, and for Smith to pretend otherwise is lunacy.

(Even more offensive is his suggestion that we "commit to memory" Team America: World Police, for reasons I have neither the time nor the bandwidth to address.)

GK, World's Greatest Critic, what say you? I, for one, have a choice of seeing H&K or Last Tango in Paris this fine evening and will probably see the former.
