Harold, Kumar and Camelot
Published August 11, 2004
Extreme Guys: Thank God that the Mountain Dew/X Games Extreme guy fad was put to rest in this movie. I hope everyone's learned how foolish you'll look if you attempt speak in one syllable words while having seizures at the same time.
A few low points:
I'm sorry John Cho, but you were definitely holding the Harold and Kumar duo back from cinematic greatness. I felt like his acting was a bit subdued. This may be due to his performance as the MILF guy in the American Pie trilogy (Understanbably, he was sloshed for the duration of his screen time, but keep in mind first impressions always count for more rather than less.).
Battleshits: I don't know if I will ever associate 'cute' with 'British accents on women' ever again. The scene worked, but damn it, WHY RUIN A GOOD THING??
Shameless Self-Promotion: As much as this was a brilliant marketing scheme for White Castle, I hope that other movies are NOT encouraged to include corporate sponsorship. Lord of the Ringsbrought to you by Sony? It will be the end of the world.
In conclusion, I would recommend this film for anyone looking for a fun summer movie. If you're looking for Oscar-worth performances, high powered drama and intrigue, you're barking up the wrong tree. Come to this one, and you get to smoke one.
UPDATE: I can't believe I forgot my FAVORITE scene in the movie! Even though it's done on occasion in movies like Tommy Boy, the uncomfortable silence prior to the hetero-male sing-along scene ruled. If only there was a BIGGER group of people watching with me, I would have joined in singing the classic Wilson Phillips tune, "Hold On."

I was wondering knows who the 2 nude girls were with Neil Patrick Harris, when he was driving the car on ecstasy. i can find them in the credits.
Found this due to the comment spam. Imagine that. But I am lovin' a chance to state publicly that Harold and Kumar rule! Spousal Unit and I, whenever possible, down White Castles while watching the film. Oh man, I am getting a craving for one or 20 of those succulent little burgers now... (And I have the recipe for making them from scratch. Yum!)
It's a great movie.




I need to find an excuse to go see this movie. It's too bad that I don't drink to excess.
