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

entertaining.......2007-08-19
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.
extremely funny.......2007-07-31
"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.
More commedy for men.......2007-07-13
Has anyone noticed that while women have advanced in dramas they are probably worse off than ever in commedies? Little more than playthings or opponents for men in virtually EVERY modern commedy, from Harold and Kumar to 40 Year Old Virgin, Beerfest, etc. I think women were stronger characters and got better lines in the old screwball commedies of the 1930s!!!
Asians on Drugs.......2007-06-15
Being an Asian immigrant who likes to occasionally eat at White Castle, I was interested in seeing this film. It turned out to be worse than I could have imagined. The movie is about drugs, drugs and more drugs and there is nothing funny about it. White Castle hamburgers make an appearance at the end but mostly it is drugs the Asian characters want. They smoke marijuana all the time which is not like any Asians I know. The white people in the movie are always calling Asians names but that is not like any white people I know either. In the real world, it is only the Black and Spanish that have called me names because I am Asian. I would only recommend this movie if you think it is funny to watch Asian people smoke marijuana.
Reefers and Slyders.......2007-06-03
You've got to cut independent films like this some slack given that they are produced on a low budget with relatively inexperienced actors. You've got to cut this film even more slack because it is a comedy: Even if some things seem pretty stupid, they are meant to be stupid. The problem with "Harold & Kumar," however, is that it is much more stupid than ever intended. You can cut it all the slack you want and it's still pretty bad.
The story is about an East-Indian (or is he Pakistani?) named Kumar and his Korean friend (or is he Chinese?) named Harold. Smoking dope supposedly gives you the munchies, so, one evening, after smoking lots of marijuana, they get a craving for White Castle's mini-hamburgers ("Slyders"). But finding a White Castle proves harder than expected. The movie is about their bizarre search for more marijuana and for a White Castle.
"Harold & Kumar" is kind of a cross between the worst of Cheech & Chong and that academy award winner for politically correct zombies, "Crash."
Every White person in the film, except for Harold and Kumar's Jewish neighbors, is a racist who shouts slurs at our Asian leads. Harold and Kumar have anti-Asian slurs hurled at them all day long from White people. (My wife is Chinese and she has never been subjected to a racial slur by a White person in the more than fifeen years that she's lived in the New York City area.) The non-Jewish Whites in the film are either criminals who terrorize minorities or thuggish police officers who arrest Black people just because they are Black. (Yeah, who ever heard of a Black criminal?) That the only nice White people in the flick are Jewish is kind of interesting given that the screenplay was written by two guys with the surnames "Schlossberg" and "Hurwitz."
This is one of those movies, like the "Fritz the Cat" cartoons, that you have to watch stoned to enjoy. I'd say that you'd have to be really, really stoned!
One thing that is effective about the film, however, is that the ending will give you a craving for White Castle. I've never been a big fan of those Slyders but, the day after watching this film, I went to the White Castle on Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst to get my fix of them.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels do not star in this movie, AMAZON!!!.......2006-08-15
First of all, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels do no star in this movie, AMAZON!!! Get your heads out of your Patookus's and take some notes! You might learn something!!!
This movie stars two very funny men, of middle and Eastern Asian Descent, and provides a look at our two main men, as they head out on their pursuit to score some White Castle burgers! Mmmm, mmmm. Can't you just taste them?
They meet lots of colorful characters, and you know this is just a 90 minute excuse to watch them chase after pot all over New Jersey.
I loved this movie, and laughed hard at the gross and super funny humor.
I would recommend it.
