Harold and Kumar do in fact go to white castle...
I was going to post this the Monday after it came out but wound up not due to laptop and timing issues.
I was not expecting Harold and Kumar to fix the asian stereotypes in movies. Neither was I expecting the works of the great Sir William. Just as I suspected it delivered on neither. However, the movie was very very funny. It was much like Dude, Where's my Car? or Cheech and Chong. It was funny and slightly irreverent. The passing was good, it was neither rushed nor plodding. The movie was set in central/northern New Jersey which I enjoyed having grown up in the area.
Harold and Kumar were funny charecters. They didn't play to any stong asian stereotypes, in fact they were somewhat generic characters. One of the themes of the movie was asian stereotypes so there were some strong stereotypes in the movie to provide a contrast to Harold and Kumar. An interesting side note, Doogie Houser (Niel Patrick Harris) played a surprising large role as himself in the movie.
