Eminently re-watchable.

In "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle," Harold(John Cho) has no plans for the weekend except for the reports that have been foisted on him. So, it does not matter that he cannot get up the courage to say anything to his cute neighbor Maria(Paula Garces). His roommate Kumar(Kal Penn) only goes on interviews for medical schools so his father will not disinherit him. Together they get stoned which leads to a serious case of the munchies. In order to satisfy their hunger, they want to eat at a White Castle but the one they remembered in New Brunswick is now closed. Luckily, they are directed by a friendly fast food worker(Anthony Anderson) to another location in Cherry Hill.

While enjoyably silly, "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" has at its roots a very serious anti-drug message that if a person smokes marijuana then he will drive through the night looking for a White Castle which could have detrimental effects on any future children he may have. Actually, I think the film might be going for the opposite interpretation, pushing it seriously into the realm of full length informercials like "Cast Away." The humor is relatively good natured with minimal bodily fluids but too much reliance on gay panic jokes. Since the movie is not meant to be taken seriously, then I should probably not comment that it should not be so hard to find a White Castle in New Jersey(from personal experience, it was not that hard to find one in Ohio) or marijuana on a college campus.

Since it has been four years since the movie was made, the comments about Katie Holmes have dated badly. Strangely enough, Kal Penn is now playing a doctor on "House" which is set in New Jersey.

R.A.S.A.P

It was OK I guess. Nothing special.

Screwball story + ethnic diversity=FUNNY!

i have to admit this is one of the better stoner movies

very funny stoner comedy works thanks to the two leads and a fun story. i didn't expect to like this film but it was a cut above the rest. this tries to do the damage that was done with dude where's my car. a good film that never takes the easy way out.

The movie was pretty funny, at least what I've seen of it, not amazing, but solid.

Oops...0~0 This review is not that reliable. I don't recall much from this movie. I am reviewing this movie purely on what I remember from it.
