Even in this simplistic comedy, this frames the story as the Harold and Kumar evolve- after the high subsides. Give props to Leiner, Hurwitz, and Schlossberg for ignoring political correctness and having fun with stereotypes. Then they get the munchies, and thus begins their quest for White Castle- somewhere in New Jersey. So Harold and Kumar smoke weed and watch TV.
Harold is in love with her, but has yet to utter a complete sentence to her in their daily elevator rides. Back at their apartment complex, we meet Maria (a gorgeous Paula Garces), the object of Harold's affection. Kumar wants to smoke pot with his bud, regardless of Harold's deadline. Harold is not having a particularly stellar day.
It's Friday, and one of the partners at Harold's firm dumps a report on Harold, so that he can party with some babes- unbeknown-st to Harold. That way his father keeps supporting him. Kumar is the free spirited Indian guy, who interviews with medical schools, but never accepts. Harold (Cho) is the straight Korean guy who works as an associate at an investment bank. Cho and Penn overcome much of the movie's inconsistencies.
John Cho and Kal Penn as Harold and Kumar have a natural chemistry and are completely charming. Kumar says, "Just because you're hung like moose, doesn't mean you have to do porn." I was rolling. In the beginning, Kumar(Kal Penn) is having a medical school interview, and the dean (a classically clueless Fred Ward) asks him why he isn't already in school with his perfect MCAT scores. However, "Harold & Kumar" can be clever funny, and has moments of comic genius. Consequently, the humor can be gross out bathroom humor. Written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the story is more hit than miss, with inspired moments and a drugged out cool. The movie demographic is probably from 15 to 25- totally not mine. H&R is genius creative marketing, and the director Danny Leiner's movie is actually funnier than it's trailer. With the title "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle", how can one not see this movie? Well, one could, and would be missing a very funny movie.
