Curious, he got in touch with the writers who explained, that yes, they have him in it, only to then ask if he would want to be in it. He agreed to the part so long as he had full control over any changes or concerns he had of the way he was portrayed in the film. There is nothing better than a free advertisement, especially when that advertisement is a full-length cinematic film's premise revolving around two guys obsession with the fast-food chain.

While some companies like Krispy Kreme refused to be part of a stoner comedy, White Castle publicized their restaurant's part in the film by creating and selling commemorative Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle collectible cups. They then took it a step further by inducting John Cho and Kal Penn into the White Castle Hall of Fame to make sure that the film and the fast-food chain were forever intertwined.

One of the scariest facts to learn about Harold and Kumar go to White Castle was that Kal Penn almost died playing his iconic role.

In one scene to create dust coming out of a ventilator shaft, the crew grounded up walnuts. Unknown to them, Penn is highly allergic to nuts causing him to instantly break out once he inhaled the dust. Luckily, he realized what was happening and quickly took Benadryl to stop the swelling from progressing.

After remaining in fresh air for over two hours, he finally was able to get back to work. Such scrambling tactics are all over the film. One extended sequence features a band of bottomless women.

On one hand it's sexist, on one hand it's titillating, on one hand it's completely awkward, until, like an act of equal opportunity crassness, a penis is revealed and you're forced to gag at the horror of a hairy penis.

When the penis is aligned to Al Qaeda, you got all kinds of weird penis, terrorist and vaginal phobia overlaps. With these scramblings, the film feels closer to other films in the New Queer movement than it does to mainstream teen stoner flicks. It then openly mocks the Bill of Rights, Homeland Security, and evil WASP financiers, all of whom become figures representative of absolute entitlement.

Bizarrely, the film also stars Neil Patrick Harris, a gay man in real life who plays a sex crazed macho man within the film.

It then makes reference to Harris' work in "Starship Troopers", Paul Verhoeven's film about xenophobic, genocidal, militaristic Americans, in which Harris played a fascist agent. The third film in the series, "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas", is paradoxically the most watchable and unwatchable "Harold and Kumar" film. It's smooth, somewhat funny, inoffensive and completely conventional, with none of the weird, grating aberrations of the second movie.

Here, Harold becomes a Wall Street banker and Kumar sets aside marijuana for a career as a doctor. It's a lightweight film, content to satirise 3D movies, 3D gimmicks and organised religion. Rob Corddry is hysterical in his scenes. Not good as the first one with the duo, but this one is alright KineticSeoul 5 November This is a more of a ballsy sequel with a more adult humor that is in your face. But the first Harold and Kumar is better than this one, the first one just worked for the most part despite all the random situation.

It's not a movie you can take your kids to watch for sure, I saw an adult with two kids just walk out a few minutes into this movie in the theater. But these kinda movies are for adults so that is fine but sometimes the jokes felt a bit too forced at times.

It just seemed like the movie just seemed to be pushing the limit with adult humor and it seemed a bit too focused on that to try and make it flow in a hysterical manner. But it just wasn't as funny for the most of the way through, it's interesting because of the shock humor but that is about it for the most part.

The first Harold and Kumar although random most of way through was engaging because the direction flowed pretty well but that isn't really the case for this sequel. There is also more stereotypical and sexual and toilet humor this time but I didn't really find the movie all that funny as the original. Yeah it has some shock humor than and there but this time it seems to really just rely on the shock humor aspect without it flowing very well.

Some reviewers say you can't really compare the previous movie to this one, but I personally think you really can since it's a stoner comedy once again with bunch of random things happening in between like the previous movie. If your drunk while watching this with a couple of friend it might be more funny and entertaining than it really is.

Don't get me wrong this isn't a bad comedy, in fact it does have it's moments but it just isn't a great one that I personally could watch again and again later along the line. But for the first watch, it's a alright stoner comedy but nothing great. I give the movie props though but having some clever comedic parts revolving the comedic duo, although very few. At least the first one had scenarios that connected with each other, that isn't the case this time around.

Anyways to get the full enjoyment out of this movie, be with a group of friends and get drunk while watching or something. Even when sober it's still a alright stoner comedy to watch but like I said nothing all that great, unless your really into shock humor.

Plus the situations in this movie is just way too over the top ridiculous like South Park, but South Park is a cartoon show and a TV show at that. But as a movie this one just comes off as mediocre. I'll admit right off the top that this isn't really my kind of movie. It's a "stoner" movie with lots of nudity and sexual content and the normal type of juvenile humour, somewhat reminiscent, say, of "Porky's" or "Animal House.

Having said that, let's also be fair - at times this movie is fairly funny satire the whole "ethnic profiling" angle is pretty well done and there are some very funny scenes as well. I thought some of the content involving Neil Patrick Harris was hilarious although I also thought that whole thing went on far too long and the Alabama family they stayed with was a hoot.

The story - lame though it is - revolves around Harold and Kumar John Cho and Kal Penn being mistaken for terrorists on board a jet bound for Amsterdam and sent off to Guantanamo Bay, from where they escape and proceed to a series of adventures, pursued by an over the top Homeland Security agent played by Rob Corddry. It's a story of lost love, as Harold and Kumar both pine away for their absent girlfriends, and it all culminates in a pretty funny encounter with the President Yes - W, played by James Adomian, who didn't really look the part but nevertheless pulled it off pretty well.

But if you take it for what it's worth it's OK. If you like stoner comedies, you'll probably love it. If you don't, you might be revolted by it, but you'll still find some funny moments if you stick with it. Buddy 25 April The thing that made Harold and Kumar so appealing in their first film, "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle," was that they were just two ordinary guys driven by the very modest goal of finding the perfect burger to satisfy their munchies.

But turn them into suspected terrorists on the lam from Homeland Security, ship them off to GITMO as detainees, and have them sharing doobies with none other than George W. Bush himself - all of which happens in "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" - and they lose the very thing we liked best about them: their relatability.

John Cho and Kal Penn are as disarming as ever as the endearing potheads who'll go to just about any lengths to get a good high, and Neil Patrick Harris returns in a good-natured appearance playing a satirical version of himself, but the script reduces the movie to just another dumb, disjointed, anything-for-a-laugh action comedy that is long on gross-out gags and vulgarity and short on anything even remotely approaching genuine wit or humor.

FeastMode 26 July Some good laughs but significantly less funny than the first. Harold and Kumar cannot escape the awfulness of this Chrysanthepop 16 November I ended up wincing and cringing more than anything.

This is among the worst movies of the year that I have seen. Sure I was expecting crudeness and vulgarity but this one reaches a new level and it is more of those things than funny. Add to that, the none-gross or pornographic scenes were plain boring. John Cho and Kal Penn reprise their roles and pretty much walk the same line but I found them less funnier here. The only sequences that I found amusing were the airport check-in scene and the sequence in the airbus with the suspecting old lady. However, this is too bad of a film for me to talk much more about.

This movie was very raunchy. A lot more so than when they go to white castle. Once again Kumar's love of the weed plays a big role. From showing him and his girl in a bedroom scene with a giant bag of weed, to what got them in trouble in the first place; trying to smoke weed on a plane.

Kumar's way of getting out of being searched at the airport was classic. This time he goes through a road block all hyped up on shrooms. The idiot FBI agent after the two was gross. Just look at what he did to the Bill of Rights! If you don't mind gross humor, check it out. I love Harold and Kumar. They have to be the best duo in all of movies. They always find a way to make people at least me laugh. They did it again here. I liked this movie just a little better than the first one because of some certain scenes.

The duo are on their way to Amsterdam when Kumar is caught with a bong. Harold and Kumar's cloudy-eyed wild ride through the suburbs of Jersey — where they encountered Freakshows, cheetahs and in one of the greatest comedy cameos of all time, an Ecstasy-chewing Neil Patrick Harris — quickly established them as the Millenial's answer to Cheech and Chong. In typical stoner comedy fashion, it's a movie that gets funnier with each viewing, and believe it or not, you don't even have to be half baked to eat "White Castle" up.

Or so we hear.
