Film 5 - Harold and Kumar Escape from guantanamo bay

The opening 10 minutes to Harold and Kumar contains many teen movie conventions. First of all Harold dreams about his lover in the shower, whilst the other main character Kumar has love problems himself. His ex- girlfriend, Rachael, who he split up with 2 years before is now getting married. Other conventions include Kumar smoking cannabis, Kumar having an over exaggerated poo and Harold being called a terrorists. These all create a comedic and funny atmosphere to the film.
