A stoner movie for the everyman. Movie is a great adventure movie with two very different buddies who are brought together by their love for pot. |

Harold Lee (John Cho) an investment banker and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) look for White Castle after smoking some grass. Kumar suggests dropping by Princeton University to buy marijuana. The romantic angle with Maria (Paula Garcés) and "Freakshow" was a bit too much and unbelieavble. The "hiker" however was one of the best scenes. This flick reminded me of Half Baked, 3 buddies on a journey related to smoking pot. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is a decent journey that doesn't make you think, just take a hit and enjoy the ride |

An enjoyable stoner comedy that works because of the report between the two leads and the madcap pace of the plot. Neil Patrick Harris has a hilarious cameo that put him back on the map. |

HIGH-larious, a stoner comedy! |
|
John Cho and Kal Penn deliver a truly hilarious performance as Harold, the Korean/American hard-working investment banker and Kumar the Indian-American very gifted pre-med student, who isn't interested in following his father and brother's footsteps and becoming a doctor. Harold and Kumar have are roommates with different work ethics, but one thing they have in common is they both love to smoke pot. After blazing up one night, they see a commercial for White Castle Hamburgers and go on a quest to find the nearest White Castle. What was supposed to be a trip down the highway turns into a night of run-ins with some Extreme Sports Punks, Freakshow, escaping the cops, and a sex-crazed Neil Patrick Harris, playing himself.
If you are looking for a movie which is funny enough to make you fa... |

Pretty Good Stoner Comedy |
|
This is a pretty good film regardless of its subject matter, which I normally wouldn't consider funny because getting high in films most often means slapstick comedy. John Cho and Kal Penn have great chemistry so I think that's one of the main reasons why this movie worked. The way they interacted never seemed forced. The appearance of Neil Patrick Harris added to the outgoing tone. I used to watch his show called "Doogie Howser, M.D." and it made me laugh when they made references to that (and the fact that he was a ladies' man in the film but in reality, he's into men). I loved that he could handle the jokes about himself. Other highlights include the television commercial scene, the "Extreme" knuckleheads, and the Koreans at the university. Even though most of the stuff that happened i... |
