From the director of Dude, Where's My Car? comes another crazed tale of two friends on a perilous quest--in this case, to eat burgers at the fast food restaurant White Castle. The pair--repressed Harold (John Cho, Better Luck Tomorrow) and freewheeling Kumar (Kal Penn, Love Don't Cost a Thing)--get extremely high and set off on the road, only to be sidetracked by skateboarding hooligans, racist cops, an inbred tow truck driver, and Neil Patrick Harris--yes, Doogie Howser, M.D. The humor is all over the map, and it would be nice if there were one female character who wasn't a caricature, but Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle has a loose, gregarious charm, and the movie's canniness about the cliches of the buddy-movie genre give it a sneaky subversive feel--just the fact that neither of the heroes is white puts a different spin on just about every circumstance. Surprisingly clever, cheerfully stupid. --Bret Fetzer

Columbus went to America. Armstrong went to the moon. Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
This is a silly, escapist film. There are several hilarious bits. John Cho(Harold) and Kal Penn (Kumar) are skillful actors. They are spot-on, I believe, as they play two twenty-something guys looking for a good time. Things don't always work out as planned, but Harold and Kumar don't do much planning anyway. It's a free-fall (hang-glide) into burger land or it's the munchies gone wild.
What I like about this film is that it absolutely does not pretend to be anything it is not. No hidden agenda. There's a lot of smoke, but it doesn't hide the fun.
Rating: - Images of an Ivy League "Cheech & Chong"
The performance of "Freak Show" is worth the price of admission, outstanding !!!
I really thought the character actor George C. Scott had been resurrected and clothed in a halloween costume. I was mesmerized by Christopher Meloni's performance ,,, funny, scary, jaw dropping ,,, totally believable.
But ,,, I would have appreciated it if they would have fired-up a few more joints ,,, just for me :-)
Rating:  - Bland as a microwaved burger
Before I delve into this review I want to state that my film tastes tend to run towards foreign films, especially Japanese and French, and independent films, however, sometimes I do enjoy a good lowbrow film every now and then including such flicks as Adam McKay's Talladega Nights, Larry Charles's Borat, and any film by Kevin Smith. With this in mind, I was fully prepared, and really wanted to; enjoy Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, but, in the end, the film left me a bit cold.
The film revolves around the lives of Harold Lee and Kumar Patel, the former a recent graduate who diligently does his, and his superiors' work, at a prominent business and who silently lusts over a beautiful Latina girl who lives on the same floor of his apartment building, an the latter, an incredibly intelligent pre-med graduate with a number of medical schools seeking him who prefers to spend his time smoking grass and looking to get laid. One night, after smoking weed, the two men get hungry and decide to get some White Castle burgers after seeing a particularly titillating add. However, the duo not knowing exactly where a White Castle is located go on a number of adventures that include buying weed at an Ivy League college, meeting a backwoodsman and his sexy wife, and having their car stolen by Neil Patrick Harris.
How can a movie go wrong with Neil Patrick Harris? Here is how it could happen. My main gripe with the film is the acting of Kal Penn, Kumar, it is cool that he is trying to ... Read More
