Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
This movie is a barrel of laughs. John Cho is great as Harold, and Kal Penn is a hilarious Kumar. It's helpful to be an Asian or Jewish person when watching this movie because this movie is heavy into racial and cultural stereotyping. However, the stereotyping is done in a light-hearted way, and shouldn't offend anyone.
I wonder how much White Castle paid to have this movie be largely about pursuing their delicious burgers? It's been a while since I've eaten White Castle burgers, but this movie actually made me want to go out and eat the burgers. Anyhow, I could really relate to Harold and Kumar because White Castle burgers were my after school snack of choice between sixth grade and tenth grade. My parents bought the burgers in large quantities to store in the freezer, and it was really easy to take out say, three burgers and nuke them for a few minutes. Presto, (almost) instant snack!
There were parts of this movie where I laughed so hard, my sides hurt. I will definitely be buying a copy of this movie for my collection. Now I just have to tell my brother to watch this, since he lives in the Garden State. I also know people from Cherry Hill, who will probably enjoy this movie. Oh yeah, and look for Doogie Howser's cameo appearance.
