"Kumald and Humar movie..."
(Quick entry on Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle before I leave to L.A)
Is what my friend (who I shall leave nameless) calls it.
After reading Sonially's entry, I felt that I too had to somehow help my Asian brethren.
(I know you're laughing at me, Julie. You can stop. That's right, the buck fiddy stops here! [Washington Mutual slogan.. haha] Dang... another tangent of an entry.)
Eh... where was I? Oh yeah, White Castle, so yesterday a total of 5 of us out of the possible 9 went to watch it. The other people bailed last minute. Shame on them.
It turned out to be one of the most funniest movies I've seen this year! No lie, corporate America did not buy me off. It really is funny! But most importantly all of my friends who watched it also felt revitalized. It's nice to see an Asian lead not type-casted as some Kung-Fu wacko. :)
The general synopsis/equation is this: Asian dood + Indian dood = Hungry. They decide to bask in the holy grail of rarity, which is, a White Castle's burger (Hence the title). Along the way they encounter an array of problems dealing with their ethnic backgrounds, a bit extreme in most scenes, but nonetheless a statement. So if you're willing to see beyond the parody and stereotypes you too will gain some moral benefits from watching this film.
If that isn't a good enough selling point, lets try this: You get to see a set of boobs. How's that work for ya'? :D

On the record, White Castle's burgers aren't good. I've tried them when I went to New York, and they were horrid... soggy, tiny, burgers. Bleh. It can't beat our In 'n' Outs!
