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

1) So wrong it's right - didn't expect to laugh so much   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
First of all, I'm not a stoner, and I'm a woman, and I don't think I'm supposed to like this movie - but I do. It is an off the wall adventure of two unlikely heroes who only want to get to a table at White Castle and enjoy hamburgers while high. It's not a family film in any way and if you're easily offended - this movie is not for you. If you're up for a raunchy, pushing all the limits ride - buckle up and hold on. This one had me shocked, awed and laughing the entire time.I settled in for what I thought was going to be a stagnant, low budget comedy and I was surprised that this is more of a road trip movie that constantly moves. Every time I thought they couldn't possibly push the limits and be more crass, they take it to yet another level. It's pretty perplexing that the movie is as good as it is. That said, the two leads are adorable and loveable and fabulous. They're at times green and at times effortless, but always enjoyable. I found myself routing for them and their nonsense journey, I wanted them to make it to White Castle. They became stoner warriors, breaking politically incorrect boundaries and then riding a cheetah. Seriously, a cheetah - who does that? It was awesome. I'm still laughing to myself about Neil Patrick Harris's role. Talk about breaking a type cast. He has officially killed 'Doogie Howser, M.D." All of the cameo roles are brilliant and I'll be purchasing a copy of this for my dad ("Strange Brew" is his favorite movie), but I won't be passing it along to my girlfriends or anyone in my mom groups because I fear I'd get flogged.

2) Riding the cheetah.. OMG   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This movie is quite hilarious and had me laughing so hard at parts I cried.

3) Funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Constantly laugh out loud funny. I thought I'd laughed all I could, and then they rode a cheetah and I nearly died. There was something so good natured in the humor, too, not vulgar or derogatory, even though much of it could be categorized as "ethnic." And if you're from the NY metropolitan area and know all the spots they mention on their White Castle quest, it makes it even funnier.

4) entertaining   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
God's Blessings: I was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. There was a shot in the movie that says "Welcome To Hoboken. This movie was filmed in New Jersey. While living in New Jersey I enjoyed White Castle hamburgers. This movie is a great comedy. I enjoy watching it on my DVD player. Thank You.

5) extremely funny   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
"Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" is one of the funniest movies that I've ever seen. Though the jokes sometimes get a little stupid, I was amused throughout the film. Though the plot of the movie isn't very original (two stupid guys getting high and going on an adventure that features a lot of sex has been done before), I still found the film to be outrageously funny. I guess that type of plot line never gets old. I first saw this film two years ago and have seen it twice since. It was funny all three times. However, if you don't like crude and blatant humor, you probably won't like this film, since that type of humor is displayed throughout. Despite that, I love this movie and would recommend it to most people.
