  • Summary: In the great cinematic tradition of "Road Trip" and "Dude, Where's My Car?" comes Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, which follows two likeable underdogs who set out on a Friday night quest to satisfy their craving for White Castle hamburgers and end up on an epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild road trip as un-PC as it gets.

    Harold and Kumar share a quality the overgrown adolescents in films like this are never allowed to possess: They're witty, focused, and highly aware. They make having a brain look hip.

    Smart, goofy and endearing, Cho and Penn make a terrific team, and the fact that they're starring in their own movie suggests that, in the Hollywood comedy frat house, there's finally room for everyone.

    The outlandish premise and greasy title may be a little hard to swallow, but Danny Leiner's proudly moronic film embraces its boneheadedness so cheerfully that its lowbrow charms are nearly irresistible.

    Excellent comedy, it grips the viewer throughout the whole movie. They're like a better version of cheech and chong. Or the two guys from the movie How High!… Expand

    A very funny movie - liked it much more than I expected to. And Neil Patrick Harris should get an Oscar for his supporting role! Talk about acting against type!… Expand

    I was barely interested enough to finish watching this self-indulgent movie. Not very funny, and so filled with stereotypes - especially odd for a movie that aims to reverse the Asian/Indian image. The one thing I did enjoy was Neil Patrick Harris' cameo.… Expand
