Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (IMDb:7.1|Rot:72%)

Last weekend, while we were battling the creeping crud, we watched Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. It's stupid, with lots of crude humor, but it had some extremely funny moments. The dream sequence where Kumar romps with (and marries) a giant bag of weed is an absolute hoot, as is Anthony Anderson's Burger Shack scene. There are places where the plot doesn't make a particle of sense, and bathroom humor galore, but also some interesting and funny commentary on race and class. It's a stoner buddy movie about a road trip through New Jersey, and worth a Netflix rental. (It was a lot better than Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, even as it covered some of the same territory.)

"May I interject for a second? As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you're craving White Castle, the burgers here just don't cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one… just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down! Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this motherfucker down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it! So you guys maybe should just suck it up and go to White Castle."
