Harold and Kumar
Mar. 3rd, 2008 05:07 pmLast night's DVD entertainment was Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. An interesting mashup of adult and juvenile themes. There is much deep philosophy here, often treated seriously. OTOH there is just as much farting. Some of the caricatures are over the top, some are spot on. Production values also are very inconsistent - there are sections of fine cinematography, and some just plain reeks. Sound mixing is often smooth, often LOUDsoftLOUDsoft. There are glaring continuity errors. Had they chosen to go all one way or the other, this would have been the next big cult film or a multiple Oscar winner. Too bad.
