Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

An entertaining, mostly-mindless flick involving lots of marijuana and stupidity.

Harold and Kumar (MILF-kid from American Pie and Van Wilder's assistant, respectively) live in an apartment together and are harassed by many jokers, pranksters and idiots. Harold is dumped on at work and Kumar has no goals in life but to sit on the couch and smoke weed. After one such session they decide to head to White Castle to curb their munchies only to find it no longer exists. They then head on a 45 mile trek to find the nearest one only to be sidetracked continuously in search of more pot and girls.

The movie is pretty much what you'd expect. One guy keeps getting crazy ideas and can't be talked out of them by the other. The movie is made up of mostly stupid humor and whacky situations. There is a bit more with some race issues and a couple other social issues. Overall, it's really entertaining. There are a multitude of cameos included that are worthwhile. Van Wilder and Doogie Howser are the prominent ones. The movie works because most of the humorous scenarios are done well, not taken too far to no longer be funny. Though formulaic, some of the methods are new in the humor.

3.5 shrubs of 5. Funny, entertaining, alright movie. Worth a watch with some friends.
