Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Danny Leiner, who directed "Dude, Where’s My Car?" does an intermittently inspired job of the first munchies road movie. John Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg’s politically incorrect, homosexual-panic-embracing screenplay is an equal-opportunity offender in its pursuit of twentysomething comic touchstones, Sliders, and the perfect rabid raccoon joke. John Cho plays a Korean American investment banker, and Kal Penn his roommate, an Indian-American slacker whose father insists he go to med school. One smoked-out night gets longer and longer as they prowl the wilds of the Garden State for the one perfect food, meeting all manner of weirdoes along the way, including a stripper-mongering Neil Patrick Howser on X. Some jokes implode, others are gross, but at least Leiner knows how to make lines like "Nice pubes" play. (Ray Pride)
