Taj: Simon?
Simon: I have... I have a problem.
Taj: [to the other guys] Oh, my God, he's talking. Well, Simon, whatever you problem is, we're your friends, you can tell us.
Simon: Well, you wee, it's to do with the size of my piddler
Taj: Your... Oh. Well, you know, it's an understood fact that a man's piddler is... Appears smaller to himself than it is in real life.
Simon: Well, you see, that's what I'm afraid of. 'Cause according to me it has some 11 inches.
Taj: Come again? Figuratively.

Keep It to Yourself

Uh…don't see this

It just wasn't good. Harold and Kumar go to white castle was funny. This just wasn't. The acting was okay; the jokes were the same so they just weren't funny. The girls were hot, but not even the hot girls make the movie worth wasting your money on. Please don't waste your money.

The plot was typical the jokes were very repetitive. This should have gone straight to DVD. If you really want to see it rent it. Don't waste your time seeing it in theaters.

A waste of time and money. I only saw it because I won free tickets, but I wouldn't even tell you to see this if you won free tickets. Give them away. To someone you hate. They will go and see it, and you can laugh at them when they call you and tell you how bad the movie was.
