"Harold and Kumar" trailer online

06.03 - Posted by Editor

The trailer for the new John Cho/Kal Penn comedy "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" is now viewable online.

Giant leap forward in Asian American representation in mainstream media or just another dumb comedy?

You make the call!

I just found this article on www.angryasianman.com (a site I knew but forgot to check out)

It's a review on this movie: www.hollywoodreporter.com and put Harold and Kumar..etc.

Could be heading in the right direction. I will post again once I've seen the movie. But it's good to see Asian American's up on that big screen!! More the better! I just hope that eventually tone down on the stereotypes of what makes us Asian! Like I said, we'll see!

What heartens me is the fact that they don't have 'em doing accents. I'm curious to see in what way they deal with ethnicity, if at all -- the trailer doesn't really address it. Which is fine, ya know?

It's a dumb comedy... but it's fresh having two asian american male leads! They could have chosen 2 white dudes or 2 black guys or a black and a white. These two actors always played secondary and third party roles in the other dumb movies (AMERICAN PIE and VAN WILDER) so why not give them the lead. Plus, they aren't geeky guys like William Hung. I am going to see it! I heard the Asian guy gets the girl in this movie. Damn... talk about steps forward!

I think it's a good step forward for asian american representation in mainstream mediea because it is just another dumb comedy...get it?

I think it is another dumb comedy, but it will still be entertaining because I like dumb comedies. I will definately go to see it on the day it will be released. I think both of the main characters are cuties.
