HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE (New Line Cinema) Genre: Comedy Released: July, 2004 Directed by: Danny Leiner (of Dude Where’s My Car? fame) Starring: John Cho and Kal Penn Official Movie Website New Line Cinema

Apparently susceptible to one of the most blatant in-movie brand promotions of all-time I am now predictably craving those delicious little bite sized burgers!! We need to get that White Castle franchise happening up here in Canada!!! (I'ze been hipno-tized... 8-)

This is one of the wildest and craziest road trips I have ever been on and with all the screams and ewwws!! in the audience, I think everyone had a good time. Kal Penn plays Kumar and John Cho is his buddy in crime, Harold and together they get into one hilarious mess after another!! They set out on a dark Friday night on a quest for the perfect burger, which becomes almost as impossible to imagine them succeeding at as if they were Indiana Jones pursuing some priceless artifact. Their determination to get to White Castle with frighteningly neverending obstacles thrown their way, causes the tension to incredibly (yes its true) keep you squirming in your seat. With hysterical cameos by Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder) playing an extremely sensitive male nurse and Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) as a whacked out actor that steals their car and Chris Meloni (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) as the terrifying “Freakshow”, the movie never sits still for a moment!!

This movie is not for the squeamish but I did have fun but truly was a little nauseous when it was over.
