Profile of Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

The mood of Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle is offbeat, humorous, and witty. The plot centers around stoners, an obsessive quest, and a situation where nothing goes right. It features grossout humor and irreverent humor. It is a comedy and independent movie. Stylistically, it has a road movie structure. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It is set in the USA. It happens in contemporary times. The movie is known for being critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes drugs/alcohol, nudity, and sexual content.

Summary of Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

Following up his hit DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? writer-director Danny Leiner has come up with the riotous road-trip comedy HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE. Harold (John Cho) has graduated college and is now working at a cubicle, where he is abused by other workers and forced to do their jobs for them. Kumar (Kal Penn) is expected to go to medical school to follow in the footsteps of his father and brother, but he'd rather spend his time partying. The entire film takes place in one night, as wild Kumar is determined to get a sack of burgers at White Castle, even though his more staid roommate would prefer to stay home and finish a project for his officemates. While Kumar seeks fun and adventure, lusting after nearly every woman he meets, Harold dreams only of Maria (Paula Garces), the woman down the hall whom he likes but is too afraid to talk to. Harold & Kumar's excellent adventure includes an outrageous bathroom scene in a college; a cop who takes his job way too seriously; a group of extreme, rad dudes who harass Harold, Kumar, and a convenience store manager; LAW & ORDER: SVU's Chris Meloni as an incredibly disgusting possible psycho; and Neil Patrick Harris playing himself, making fun of his Doogie Howser image. In addition to plenty of raunchy--and very funny--references to sex, drugs, and rock & roll, Leiner also takes on stereotypes and the meaning of love.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Gleefully upends expectations and delivers an energetic comedy tracing two guys'all-night search for the perfect White Castle burger.
Entertainment Weekly
Harold and Kumar share a quality the overgrown adolescents in films like this are never allowed to possess: They're witty, focused, and highly aware. They make having a brain look hip.

Nice
This one was for uplifting laughter. Did it have to be the "Comedy Movie of The Decade?" No. It just had to be one to see, to laugh and to waste sometime whilst doing so. It was pretty good.
Since the introduction of the road trip movie stoners have feasted on the genre for their laughing highs.Harold and Kumar reaches out to this audience,filling their movie with cheap jokes that actually manage to be hilarious.The story behind Harold...
