DID DOOGIE HOWSTER JUST STEAL MY CAR? Maybe I'm way late on the cultural curve here, but I finally rented Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, and, hot damn, that's some quality filmmaking.

It's the movie that Old School dreamed of being. Funny as hell, but it's a humor that's based on entertaining, likeable characters, not just outrageous situations or tag lines.

This is a great, episodic stoner comedy. It pays due homage to New Jersey, to Old Nassau and to the one and only Slider. It includes the funniest parody of a Just Say No ad I've ever seen, solid grossout humor, and you get to see Sh*tbreak from American Pie stoned off his semitic gourd. And there's a sweetness to it that feels authentic, both from the characters and the writing, and it's unmistakeable.

Here's the original trailer. Oh, just see it. For me to say more would spoil the fun.
