Now how can I review the sequel without mentioning the prequel? So here it is then, the prequel to the review below: Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.
This show is a comedy film released way back in 2004 about the two title characters, Harold and Kumar. It chronicles their experiences one night while trying to find their way to a White Castle outlet. The show starts off with Harold in the office. Being the sterotypical Asian worker bee, he gets bullied by his co-workers into finishing up additional work while his collegues head off to party. Meanwhile, Kumar is at an interview for medical school when Harold calls and informs him that the “high” session is off cause he needs to complete his work. Kumar then proceeds to screw up his chances of getting into med school by spouting off obscenities in front of the interviewer. Kumar insists Harold gets back in time to smoke marijuana.
While smoking marijuana, both of them chance upon a White Castle advertisment on TV and decide to go off looking for the fast-food joint. This kicks off a series of happenings that serves as the main plot of the movie as the duo tries to find their way to the White Castle outlet. They would end up buying drugs from a college hippie only to get chased around by the campus security, land up in the hospital and get mistaken for doctors, run into Neil Patrick Harris who would eventually steal their car, gets jailed by a racist cop who fine Harold for jaywalking and keep bumping into the extreme sports punks who keeps harassing Harold. Of course, in the end, they would eventually find the White Castle outlet but it would take them the entire night to do so.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, the prequel is not as good as the sequel. It is still a good watch though and you would want to watch it before the Escape from Guantanamo Bay just so you would get the entire story line. There are inside jokes in the second show which rewards you for watching the first one.
