HIGH-larious, a stoner comedy!

John Cho and Kal Penn deliver a truly hilarious performance as Harold, the Korean/American hard-working investment banker and Kumar the Indian-American very gifted pre-med student, who isn't interested in following his father and brother's footsteps and becoming a doctor. Harold and Kumar have are roommates with different work ethics, but one thing they have in common is they both love to smoke pot. After blazing up one night, they see a commercial for White Castle Hamburgers and go on a quest to find the nearest White Castle. What was supposed to be a trip down the highway turns into a night of run-ins with some Extreme Sports Punks, Freakshow, escaping the cops, and a sex-crazed Neil Patrick Harris, playing himself.

I loved that he could handle the jokes about himself. Other highlights include the television commercial scene, the "Extreme" knuckleheads, and the Koreans at the university. Even though most of the stuff that happened …
