Directed by Danny Leiner from "Dude, Where's My Car?", Leiner brings another over-the-top comedy to theaters.

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is a new generation Cheech and Chong stoner flick with multicultural Bill and Ted type-characters.

It not just another teen stoner film because of its' outrageous ethnic parodies and spoofs on racist cops. It's a combination of the marijuana monologues, various stereotypes and anti-political correctness.

As the first scene ends, it's fairly obvious that the mind-altering road trip is going to be an obstacle course, but the course is evenly paced without any comic down time, which is always impressive.

The casting was near revolutionary. It was so refreshing to watch an Indian-American and a Korean-American carry a character-driven film and play comic slacker-stoners successfully.

John Cho and Kal Penn are relatively new and have a nice career ahead of them. They had great chemistry, full of comic energy, natural silliness and did so without upstaging one another.
