Then it Was Ben's Turn
A series of reviews penned primarily by Ben Livant with sporadic and intermittent commentary from yrs truly.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (USA, 2004, Danny Leiner)
Ben:
Politically correct Cheech and Chong, except that Dumb and Dumber was already Cheech and Chong without the drugs and hey, weren't Cheech and Chong just Lewis and Martin with drugs?
Well, it had to happen. My kid hoisted me on my own snobbery petard. Brought home this title a few days back as a fun-for-the-whole-family birthday treat and the birthday boy turned on me with disdain. His younger brother even got in on dissing dad. Seems the two of them had already caught chunks of the movie while surfing the tube. Little twits. Of course, they enjoyed it plenty.
I liked it a fair bit myself.
