MINOR SPOILERS
Harold and Kumar is a hilarious road trip movie. I enjoyed the college setting of the film and that the two main characters weren't two white guys with token minorities in the background. I liked the inferences that the film made about stereotypes. All the Asians on a university campus, white cops picking on minorities and pot usage. Some people might not like the gross out humor involving TV's Doogie Howser, MD, the scene with two hot college babes simulating craping. The film was laden with stereotypes but its a comedy which made fun of the stereotypes such as all the Asians on campus, potheads, the Asian guy that doesn't want the Asian chick because she is well stereotypical so he goes for a hotter non Asian babe who leans more towards Caucasian features.
This film falls into the same category as 'Road Trip' and 'Half Baked' all rolled up into one. A very funny film with both characters transforming especially the Harold character (who becomes more assertive) played by John Cho vs. the Kumar character played by Kal Penn.
