Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
Dude where's my burger? From the director of Dude Where's My Car?, comes this stoner comedy about two best buddies, one Korean American and one Indian American, who survive temptation and peril in a quest for the White Castle burgers they crave. John Cho (Harold), Kal Penn (Kumar) and company deliver some good laughs exploiting ethnic and drug culture stereotypes. Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser M.D.) turns in a side-splitting cameo as himself. In one scene he snorts a line of cocaine off a hooker's ass -- so, you see, he's playing against type. Though similar in tone to Dude Where's My Car?, the leads in Harold & Kumar are more relateable which keeps the viewer on board for their strange trip through New Jersey.

For those outside the U.S., you might know this movie by it's alternate title: Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies.
