			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My roommate and I were there on opening night to watch <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/preview/2886/"><strong>Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay</strong></a> in theaters. The movie, packed full of racist jokes and pokes at stereotypes (primarily against Indians/Arabs/Asians, with a few black jokes sprinkled in as well), was pretty funny, especially since the theater was 75% Indians and Asians, or at least Indian-Americans and Asian-Americans. It wasn&#8217;t as good as the original, but, then again, how it could it be? (read my full <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/details/2886/review/"><strong>Harold and Kumar 2 movie review</strong></a>)</p>
<p>I received a box full of the unrated DVDs yesterday (well, I had to drive out to a very inconvenient FedEx location to get them, as FedEx hasn&#8217;t figured out that some of us work during the day, aren&#8217;t at home to sign for our packages, and don&#8217;t like to put their pickup locations in places where people actually live), and so my roommate and I just had to pop in the movie for a second round.</p>
<p>It was still pretty funny, though not as funny as watching with a bunch of people who found it especially funny considering that they had heard variants of the jokes directed at them in real life. <strong>Harold and Kumar 2</strong> doesn&#8217;t have the repeat value of <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/preview/1585/"><strong>White Castle</strong></a>, but that&#8217;s OK. It&#8217;s still pretty entertaining. The cyclops scene is still pretty classic.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the Unrated Edition DVD is a scam. Granted, it includes the theatrical version as well, but what the hell is the difference? There are six minutes of added footage, but nothing remarkably different. There&#8217;s a below-the-waist shot that my roommate claims wasn&#8217;t in the theatrical version, but I&#8217;m not so sure. Either way, there is nothing particularly &#8220;unrated&#8221; about it.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s worse? There are no special features. I mean none. Other than a few movie previews, there are no bloopers, deleted scenes and so on and so forth. Clearly, New Line (Warner Brothers) is setting up for a two-disc special edition, but come on. What a waste of a DVD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.filmjabber.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/baby-mama-picture.jpg" title="Baby Mama"><img src="http://blog.filmjabber.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/baby-mama-picture.jpg" alt="Baby Mama" /></a>Based on Friday box office estimates, <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/preview/3035/"><strong>Baby Mama</strong></a>, the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler comedy, declared victory over the stoner sequel <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/preview/2886/"><strong>Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Baby Mama</strong> earned $6.28 million on Friday compared to <strong>Harold and Kumar</strong>&#8217;s $5.7; while I&#8217;m no box office expert, given the kind of comedies each of those films are, that is probably enough of a gap to keep <strong>Baby Mama</strong> the winner through the weekend.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not too surprised, as <strong>Baby Mama</strong> plays to a more general audience, whereas <strong>Harold and Kumar</strong> targets a younger crowd. <strong>Baby Mama</strong> didn&#8217;t look all too good to me, but, then again, Tina Fey pulled off <strong>Mean Girls</strong> so anything can happen. As for me, I went to a sold-out showing of <strong>Harold and Kumar</strong> last night &#8211; you can read my <a href="http://www.filmjabber.com/movie/details/2886/review/"><strong>movie review</strong></a> here.</p>
<p><strong>Forgetting Sarah Marshall</strong> came in third with  $3.4 million, while newcomer <strong>Deception</strong>, which most people haven&#8217;t heard of despite starring Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman, earned a paltry $760,000.</p>
<p>These numbers come from <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/" target="_blank">BoxOfficeMojo.com</a>.</p>
