Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Overview
Nerdy accountant Harold and his irrepressible friend, Kumar, get stoned watching television and find themselves utterly bewitched by a commercial for White Castle. Convinced there must be one nearby, the two set out on a late-night odyssey that takes them deep into New Jersey. Somehow, the boys manage to run afoul of rednecks, cops and even a car-stealing Neil Patrick Harris before getting anywhere near their beloved sliders.

Behind all the Farrelly-esque gross-out humour and Cheech & Chong-isms lies a sensitive little picture with a deftly handled anti-racism slant.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
Stretches the boundaries of offensiveness in ways that both make us laugh and make us think.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Silliness is the movie's only ambition, but there's something mind-blowing about seeing a fratty comedy through two pairs of Asian-American eyes, particularly when those eyes belong to actors who were token minorities in other dumb comedies.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

A peppy, satisfying comedy that could soon become a minor classic.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
