Directed by Danny Leiner (“Dude Where’s My Car?”), “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” follows John Cho (“American Pie” films, “Star Trek”) and Kal Penn (TV’s “House,” “The Namesake,” National Lampoon’s “Van Wilder” films) as they set out on a journey to satisfy their craving for White Castle’s delicious burgers and find themselves on a hilarious all-night adventure as they run into one wacky obstacle after another. The Blu-ray™ Hi-Def release will coincide with the DVD release of the film’s successful sequel “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.”
Cameos by Neil Patrick Harris (TV’s “How I Met Your Mother”), Ryan Reynolds (“Definitely Maybe”), Fred Willard (TV’s “Back to You), Jamie Kennedy (“Kicking It Old School”), Bobby Lee (TV’s “Mad TV”) Eddie Kaye Thomas (TV’s “Till Death”) and Christopher Meloni (TV’s “Law & Order SVU”) up the comedy quotient as the pair with a bad case of the munchies wander all over New Jersey searching for the famous burgers they saw in a TV commercial.
