 | You could say this is a good movie when you're with your buds and you're sitting back with a beer and laughing at dumb stuff but in reality this movie isn't very good. The writing is that of a 10 year old for the script and the jokes are only half funny. And of course it has good parts but compare this to Dude Wheres my Car and you'll see that just because a movie has a lot of boobies in it doesnt make it a funny one. |

| The most astounding thing about this film to me is this is not a genre I have ever warmed up to......until now. Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination yet I've watched it numerous times with the same results.... I know what's coming but, I still laugh just as hard as the first time I viewed it. Maybe it's a sign of a mind gone soft or worse but I love this stupid movie! |

| I don't have very much to say about this film but I did indeed enjoy it. Yes it had a lot of borrowed site gags and situations that have been seen in other movies but In my opinion, the two main characters pull them off great. Everyone can tell the same joke but only a few can make the joke funny. I guess the part of the movie that appealed to me was that the two main characters were bright guys but they were still young and just wanted to have some fun. I can relate to that. Just because you love some smoke does not mean that you like to rob liquor stores. |

| This is a funny film. I found some of it a bit crude at the beginning, but it gets better as it goes along. The plot in a nutshell: two guys get stoned and decide to go to White Castle to ease the munchies. They have several misadventures along the way.
It's a little predictable at times, and rips-off not one, but two scenes from "Tommy Boy", but it's still a funny film and probably authentic -- at times, I got the feeling that the writers were high when they wrote it. And it's got a good ending too.
There were a few things I didn't like. First, I'm not into rap, so I didn't like the soundtrack (sorry!). Second, every white character in this film is either a jerk, idiot, or freak, and being a "whitey" myself, I didn't like this (anybody seen the opening scene to "Blankman"?). And, like I said before, some of the early scenes are a bit crude.
BUT, bottom line, it's a funny film. The two lead characters are likable, and you end up rooting for them (at least I did). It may not be for everybody, but if you like films like "Old School" or "Half Baked", you'll probably like this. |

| This next month just might even make you hungary, it is Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. And it just might you want to run itno White Castle's, expect for there you have to buy more then one burger to even fill you up, their burgers are little, and I have no idea how they start out like that, you may even need 5 burgers to fill you up but if you have an extreme hungar you might need more then that, The burgers at McDonald's, Burger King, Culver's and Wendy's are just enough to get one, but sometimes you might even like a 2nd one. And White Castle's slogan is "What you crave", and don't you might hate it if you tv knows what you are thinking? We meet Harold (John Cho) at work, he works as an account, and he gets handed more worker from co-workers, who pretend they have a big metting to get off to, just so they can leave and meet the ladies. While his roomate and best friend Kumar (Kal Penn) is at an intreview for medical school with a dean (Fred Willard). So when he does return home, he is meet by Maria (Paula Garces), whom lives on the same floor, in an apartment. He cathces Kumar in his room, but they are still watch tv with each other. Not like he is mad with him, but some of Harold gets hungray, but Kumar suggesting something not delierved, and something they haven't had in a while, and then they see a commerical for White Castle. So they decided to take over, and Harold knows that there is a burger king across town, not to far away near a movie theatre, expect for when they get there, they find a burger shack there, and they check out what happened to White Castle, and they get a tip from the drive threw guy, that there is another White Castle, in Cherry Hill that is about 45 minutes away, so they make the trip, but there places to go and characters to meet before they can get to the White Castle location.
