Very funny stoner comedy in which two college room-mates get the munchies and embark on an odyssey, driving across half a state to find their favourite hamburger. Along the way they run into Doogie Howser himself, Neil Patrick Harris, who plays a dangerous womaniser. From the director of Dude, Where's My Car?, yes, but streets ahead of that other one. (2004)
