Screen cap from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

When Harold and Kumar come down with a serious case of the “munchies”, they are enticed by a TV-commercial for White Castle burgers and make it their mission to get there. The whole movie is based on their comedic encounters while on this “munchie” satisfying crusade.

It will take more than sports extremists, psycho cops, nasty college girls, rabid raccoons, a runaway cheetah, or Neil Patrick Harris to stop these two from satisfying their cravings. This production features Van Wilder's Kal Penn as Kumar and American Pie's John Cho as Harold, along with a few other guest star surprises. Director Danny Leiner (Dude Where's my Car) will keep you entertained and undoubtedly satisfy your goofy comedy cravings.

This PSP-UMD was packed with the same extras from the DVD, such as, featurettes, audio commentaries, and alternate/deleted scenes. As an added bonus, the menu was reworked to resemble one found in a PSP video game.

Definitely a movie one should watch with friends. I can't think of a better film to simulate and celebrate getting high and dealing with the munchies. To be responsible, I'll say that I do not encourage the use of marijuana or any other harmful substances, but I found these illicit-substance chronicles entertaining.
