 Harold and Kumar from 2004, quite possibly one of the funniest movies ever made. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. Today I wanna do a little movie review on Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle from 2004. And I haven't seen this movie in a long, long time. For some reason, it's a little bit intimidating to review your absolute favorite movies. I have no idea why. I'm so glad that I revisited this because I watched a lot of films similar to this Van Wilder, not another teen movie. The New Guy. One of my favorites was Van Wilder from 2002. Very solid. I don't know why I didn't do a review on that. But I can say watching Van Wilder, watching Harold and Kumar, I actually watched all three Harold and Kumar's. There is something ridiculously special about this movie in general. And it's just so much better than all the movies at the time. I really like Van Wilder. It's probably my favorite from that post-American pie period, the early 2000s, like party type movies. I really did enjoy Van Wilder. But this one wasn't only better. It was clearly better. Harold and Kumar, I just love it on so many levels. So let's just jump right into the pros. To be honest, it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen even to this day. It's one of the funniest movies ever made. It is just absolutely hilarious. I couldn't believe how many different, not only funny situations they get in, even the little small details, there's little jokes and little funny things just crammed into this movie. And to me, it really is one of the funniest movies ever made. There's a lot of story here. There's a lot of progression. It's a long journey that they go on. It's kind of like a journey of growing up in a way. And you know, they're kind of a little bit timid. By the end of the trip, they've really just grown up and they can handle absolutely anything because they've just had everything thrown at them. I'm a real big fan of road trip movies. And for some reason, the newer movies, I don't know, whenever someone goes on a road trip, I don't feel like I'm going along with the trip. I don't know why. One of my favorite road trip movies is Dumb and Dumber. And you just feel like you're on board with the trip. But then you watch Dumb and Dumber 2. It's a newer movie. It's another road trip type movie. And you don't feel like you're actually on the road with them. It's weird. So these older road trip movies, I feel so much more like I'm on board with them. And this is just one of my favorites of all time. There's so many funny cameos and comedians that pop up in here. You got like Jamie Kennedy. You got Anthony Anderson. You got like Bobby Lee, Neil Patrick Harris, which is a whole funny thing in and of itself. And you even got Ryan Reynolds. All the cameos of people in this movie, not only were interesting to see, but they were genuinely hilarious. This movie has so many memorable scenes. Like even if just a few of these scenes were in this movie, this movie would be hilarious. The jail cell scene is hilarious. The surgeon scene is hilarious. The Jamie Kennedy scene when he stops to go pee is hilarious. The Anthony Anderson scene is hilarious. The whole Neil Patrick Harris incident is hilarious. The whole crossing the street in the middle of the night. All these situations, if they just had that in the movie, it might have been the high point of the movie and probably would have been enjoyable if they just had a few things. But this movie is just jam packed with hilarious thing after hilarious thing. And on top of that, it's a little bit more original than the next two movies because the next two movies, they find a clever way to do a very similar type joke and kind of copy it a little bit beat for beats. But this movie, every single thing they did was unique and hilarious. All right guys, if I were to get into the mixed aspects, and this is kind of with all the movies at the time, it has a mild gross out factor feel. You just have a lot of little things to kind of gross you out. When he gets picked up by the tow truck driver, that scene's a little bit gross. When he comes in and sees Kumar Naked and all this stuff, so there's a lot of these gross out type scenes. This was kind of a popular thing at the time. It doesn't really bother me that much, but it does stand out. It's a little bit more of gross out humor versus today. I don't really the only cons I could really come across with this movie is that it has some bad CGI or not the best CGI. They have a couple of these dream sequences where Harold or Kumar are dreaming and it's not as good as it would be done today, but I can't really hold it against it. I really have nothing bad to say about it. This movie is near perfect. If I were to rate it, I'd probably give it like a nine to a 9.5 out of 10, which is near perfect for me. I really just don't have any flaws with it. Like the story by itself is good and entertaining and worth watching. But on top of that, it's jam packed with things that are actually funny and not just like five or 10 funny things. I mean, this movie just hits you with non-stop funny situation after funny situation. So to be honest, it's near perfect. I would struggle to find a comedy that would be better than this. It's for sure in my top five comedies of all time. And Buy, Try or Pass is 100% a buy for me because I absolutely love this movie. I wasn't really as interested or impressed with Harold and Kumar too. And the third one, it actually killed a lot of the magic that I felt was in this movie. Turn around the road to 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do it without any of you guys. I hope you guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
