The Guests: Slacker roommates Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn)
The Menu: A table full of steam-grilled sliders
The Occasion: Sometimes when you get a taste for something nothing else will quite take its place. Although the famous White Castle burgers serve as what Hitchcock would have called the MacGuffin to spark an evening of preposterous adventures in suburban New Jersey, this movie ends with the un-Hitchcockian scene of our heroes getting what they want.
