Title: Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Year Released/Rating: 2004 R
Starring: Kal Penn, John Cho,
Directed By: Danny Leiner
Written By: Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg
Star Rating: 5 /5 stars
Trivia: There were no White Castles in the filming location so a building was trucked in.
Extra Trivia: In the scene where Harold and Kumar walk to Freakshow's house, John Cho was unaware that there was a German Shepherd in the cage next to them. When the dog barks, Cho shouts and grabs Kal Penn. This reaction was genuine.
One of my favorite silly comedies. I just love Harold and Kumar. They're awesome characters. And the movie is just awesome. The cheetah scene: Makes me giggle every time. The raccoon scene: So absurd it's hilarious. All the parts with NPH: downright genius, especially his exciting line. Kumar's dream sequence with the bag of weed: a beautiful love story. Ryan Reynolds' scene in the hospital: awkward! So many great scenes. And Goldstein and Rosenberg are just way to funny to just be side characters.
Best Bits:
Harold: Doog, where's my car? Kumar: Where's his car, dude?
~~
Harold: Did Doogie Houser just steal my fucking car?
~~
Dr. Patel: I will not tolerate this business from you any longer. You have one more interview tomorrow morning, and if I hear from Dr. Wein that you are anything short of spectacular, I'll completely cut you off. Kumar: Dad, come on. Dr. Patel: Daddy is not coming on anything!

Harold: [to Maria in elevator, after seeing luggage at her feet] Sure got a lotta baggage.
~~
Harold: [about to ride cheetah] This is either a really smart move or by far the stupidest thing that we have ever tried.
~~
Kumar: I forgot my cell phone. Harold: You wanna run back and get it? [both turn and look at their front door 20 feet from them] Kumar: No, we've gone too far.
~~
Kumar: So where you going to go now, Neil?
Neil Patrick Harris: [puts on sunglasses] Wherever God takes me!
