I was trying to find a White Castle in the Pittsburgh area, but it looks like they all closed down. I remember there used to be one by our Heinz factory, but that got demolished for a parking lot. Looks like an overnight road trip to Cleveland is in order.

White Castle is like Gray's Papaya Hot Dogs (for NYC folk)....they're good until after you eat them. Then you feel sick.

Comparing In-N-Out and White Castle is like wow... I don't know what would be so different. Night and day? I mean White Castle is one of those things you eat for a different reason. they are small, you can eat a lot of them and well.. they are like stoner food. snack size and all. Quantity over quality.
In-N-Out is just amazingly good. You go there for quality in service and food over quantity.

I've tried both White Castle and In and Out Burger.....both pale in comparison to Whataburger down here in Texas
I'll be seeing this movie as soon as it hits theaters

And the movie? Meh... It was only funny when it was brave enough to get weird. The "battles**ts" sequence was really lowball and depressing to watch - like they ran out of jokes during filming and decided to play to the mouthbreathers.
And Kal Penn was forced and unfunny, obnoxious too. A million other actors could've done a better job.

Thumbs up here.
It's hilarious in a handful of scenes, but consistently funny throughout.
It is juvenile at certain points (We're talking seriously disgusting s**t here) but the two lead actors are top notch.
I found it extremely refreshing to have an Asian and an Indian lead actor.
As for the whole White Castle thing, it makes absolutely no difference if you've ever been to one or not. They're stoned and they're hungry which isn't anything new.
It is amusing that two potheads are so picky in their food choice when they're high though. When did stoners start needing a "particular" food item when blitzed???

so true. This movie screams 'rental', not theater.

This movie was hilarious. I agree with Frank, this movie was consistently funny throughout, unlike Anchorman (the only other comedy I saw this summer), which was funny for a few scenes and then unfunny for 8/10th's of the movie. Great cameos too, though I'm sad that Luis Guzman was cut from the film. Maria and Freakshow's wife were hot.
Plus, this movie's got a Korean American and an Indian American as the leads...in a Hollywood movie. That's like Haley's Comet or Bigfoot. You hardly see this shit at all.
So go see this once in a blue moon phenomenon and laugh.

Ugh...I absolutely hated this movie. I think I just don't like stoner movies. The whole thing was just way too stupid and ridiculous for me.
