Note de guha007
Even with a few plot holes, such as the fact that blowing up credit card company buildings will not kill data records since they all have separate and well-protected backup systems, this is an excellent comment on the modern human condition.
Watching it for the second time I saw it as a worthy sequel in spirit, theme and sub-themes, to Arthur Miller's landmark "Death of a Salesman." Call it a 21st-century update. All of the same topics are revisited - consumerism, materialism, job-derived self-identity, the cheapening of humanity, emotional and social impotence, the blurring and blending of reality and imagination.
The fight scenes seemed somewhat improbable, but if one views them as figurative rather than literal, the improbability becomes immaterial.
A thinking man's film, up there with the best.

This was probably the perfect animation flick. I got invested in the characters, enjoyed their sudden realizations of power, and thoroughly enjoyed the ride until the end. I was sad when the movie was over. It didn't seem like a 2-hour movie, which is very long by animation standards.
What blew me away though was the retro-futuristic look of the entire film. It reminded me of "Gattaca" but even better. Everything from the 50s-60s-style cars (with tailfins) to the font choices for the building lettering (very 50s GM/GE) to the upscale 50s suburb architecture (angular, with jutting eaves). And in keeping with that theme, when the movie first starts out, it's the late 30s - the cars are very curvy and low to the ground, the buildings are largely concrete (Empire State Bldg./Art Deco-ish).
Outstanding. 10 out of 10 stars.

Nothing that you wouldn't expect from a stoner flick. Thoroughly entertaining nonetheless. And it's great to see Americans of Asian origin being themselves - cultural inner conflicts and all.
I think it was quite refreshing to see potential race issues in all of the conflict scenes be treated as marginal to the main issue, which was jocks v. nerds, and jerks v. lone storeowner. Harold, Kumar and the Hindi-speaking store clerk could easily have been white guys, and the conflicts would have varied little.
I have to confess that after the movie I really wanted to make a trip to White Castle...strange.
