I watched Harold and Kumar's Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Totally inane movie, just the way I like it! :) The most touching part of the movie ( I guess there's just one!) was when Kumar crashes his lover's wedding and recites this poem when his sweetheart says that nothing could be more embarrassing than what he's put her through. It's titled, "The Square Root of Three". Call me a mush brain but I really loved this piece!
Here goes:
The Square Root of Three
I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root threeThe three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nineFor nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmeticI know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationalityWhen hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a threeHas quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integerWe break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wandsOur square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

Personally, I did not like the movie so much.... It’s funny in parts! But transformation of Kumar, from geek to careless freak, is literally mind boggling.
My top Dumb Comedies would be:
1. Andaz Apna Apna
2. Hey Dude Where is my car
3. Dumb and Dumber
And yeh the geeky poem is hilariously wonderful.
Thanks for the comment, Shad! Do I know you from somewhere? I agree with what you said about the movie... it's not really that great. And yes, it is funny in parts.
