'This is either a really smart move or by far the stupidest thing that we have ever tried.'

Sometimes, it takes a strange night to put everything else into focus. And that's what happens to Harold and his friend, Kumar, when they get a craving for White Castle hamburgers after smoking cannabis. What should be an easy search for the restaurant turns into a comical and crazy road trip; chased by a security guard, attacked by a raccoon, flee from a crazy tow-truck driver nicknamed Freakshow, cause a car accident and more. Neil Patrick Harris plays a character named "Neil Patrick Harris" and is billed as such rather than being billed "as himself." According to an interview on NPR, this was done to make clear that he plays a parody of himself.

One secret of fiction is the creation of unique characters who are precisely defined. The secret of comedy is the same, with the difference being that the characters must be obsessed with unwholesome but understandable human desires. Many comedies have the same starting place: A hero who must obtain his dream, which should if possible be difficult, impractical, eccentric or immoral. As he marches toward his goal, scattering conventional citizens behind him, we laugh because of his selfishness, and because secretly that's how we'd like to behave, if we thought we could get away with it.
