Basher Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I was totally shocked at how much I enjoyed Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.This, from CNN. If the bolded part doesn't make you spit something out, you read it wrong.Harold and Kumar face 'highest stakes of all time'AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" didn't exactly do gangbusters at the box office when it opened in July 2004. The comedy about stoner pals with major munchies searching for tiny hamburgers in the middle of the night made about $5.5 million its first weekend on the way to an $18.2 million gross domestically.But the film's writers, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, always had faith that it would find a following eventually through DVD rentals and cable-TV viewings. And now, their faith has been rewarded.The sequel "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" premiered at the South by Southwest film festival recently to a raucous, packed house. (The movie, which also marks Hurwitz and Schlossberg's directing debut, opens in theaters April 25.)This time, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are suspected of being terrorists after Kumar sneaks a high-tech bong onto a flight to Amsterdam, which everyone onboard thinks is a bomb. The two get sent to Gitmo but manage to break free, ending up in Miami and Texas and -- of course -- running into Neil Patrick Harris playing a mushroom-eating, hooker-loving, unicorn-riding version of himself.

bouche Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 dude....I woke up one sunday or saturday after only a few hours sleep and a helluva hangover. Yet it was one of those mornings where the headache just wouldn't let me go back to sleep. So I decided to grab some Advil and go to the couch and hope to doze to some TV.I flipped through the channels and nothing was on, but I stopped on TMN where a movie was starting. It was Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. I figured I'd watch about 10 minutes and fall asleep.Before I knew it, I was laughing my ass off and my headache was gone. I was tired, but I couldnt' shut it off. I just kept watching it. Fuck, a movie that stupid would normally make me want to leave the room, but there was something about the humour here that kept me ready for more.I can't wait for the next movie, but I'm also afraid of the "sequel" effect. I kinda have a feeling that they'll do it right and keep it simple. btw..here's the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The first one is so stupidly brilliant that it makes me worry about the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 has anyone seen this other than ms.hux and I?I thought it was pretty damn funny. I had many laughs. I'm not sure which one got laughing more, number 1 or number 2 (is that a pun? you know they use that kind of humour). I think the shock factor of number one might influence things.They do play up their own personal comic cliches though. I can't spoil anything, but if you loved the first, you'll love the second.

ForbinHood Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dooggie on mushrooms going through the roadblock was absolutely hilarious...Smokin nugs with GWB not too bad either... i enjoyed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Both of those scenes were highlights for me too Bob. That unicorn was a trip The GWB scene was classic. Was really surprised that I loved both of these installments. The Doogie scenes were great. The dialogue was a riot considering we all now know that he's out of the closet too.

bouche Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I just realized that we watched the unrated version. Does anyone know what the difference was? Maybe that 3some weed scene was one, or at least part of it?that was a fucking funny fucking scene. (see how I used fucking in 2 different ways?) it reminded me of Team America's puppet sex scene.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I just happened to rent the first one last night - still have to watch it. I was listening to an interview with Neil Patrick Harris earlier this week (on NPR) which is what got me interested in it. They couldn't play a clip as they said non of it would be appropriate for the radio! (He also said that he doesn't think that he would have got the role of Barney on How I met Your Mother, if it wasn't for this role.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
