The Blu-Ray high-definition transfer may be on the soft side and therefore unexceptional (and the 7.1 Master Audio track pleasing overkill), but the solid-all-around A.V. Unlike its slacker heroes, New Line has worked hard to produce a very nice "Extreme Unrated" special edition for Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. "This night is about the American dream," Kumar promises, and you know what? It sort of is.Īspect ratios: 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen A warm heart beats under their comic shells, too: their camaraderie, suggested in the now-obligatory emasculatory singalong (here to Wilson Phillips' "Hold On"), culminates in the inevitable gastronomic reward.

#Harald and kumar go to white castle soundtrack crack
The long under-valued Cho brings crack timing to bear on the uptight Harold, and newcomer Penn-who in Van Wilder found himself saddled with a cartoon Indian accent-runs away with the loose, dry-witted Kumar in a vein which suggests a young, Asian Bill Murray. Most of the goodwill Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle earns comes from the left-field cameo of Harris and the essential sweetness of the central odd-couple. One especially odious passage casts Christopher Meloni of TV's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit-unrecognizable in pustular makeup and wispy fright-wig-as the husband in a variation of the old fucking-the-farmgirl joke. Primarily, the film voraciously pursues the same old outlandish oversexed, drugged-out scatology and absurdist stunts (rendered in super-cheap special effects) of every other disposable teen comedy. After encountering the ultimate victimized black man, a blatantly discriminatory cop, and racist, extreme-sport punks, each hero arrives at a victory of sorts over their indecision and hesitancy. Screenwriters Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg make some facile efforts to address racial issues by establishing how Wall Street analyst Harold and pre-med-student Kumar kowtow to slimy white yuppie peers and a domineering father, respectively. Afflicted with the munchies, these two will stop at nothing and face down every obstacle until they can break bread at a White Castle burger joint.

Cho and Penn have a history of playing third-banana in white-boy sex comedies like the American Pie movies (Cho) and Van Wilder (Penn), but here, they take center stage for their very own stupid movie: an often unpleasant fantasy which resembles a raunchy version of Pee Wee's Big Adventure's absurdist pilgrimage. This film's Cheech & Chong are both Asian-American, which makes Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle mildly historic and subversive. I can't say director Danny Leiner's follow-up to Dude, Where's My Car? is a good film exactly, but let's just say its American underdog fantasy of slumming overachievers has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Well into the double-edged racial breakthrough/stoner comedy Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, John Cho's Harold asks, "What's the deal with Neil Patrick Harris? Why is he so horny?" Harold's buddy Kumar (Kal Penn) answers, "I don't know, but we can't let him interfere with our quest." At this point, something in me snapped that the stoners in the audience had tripped on from the opening frames of this pot-smoking After Hours.
