    Because White Castle is a popular fast food chain in America, but not many people in Europe know it, so the title 'Get The Munchies' makes more sense to a non-American audience.

    Or at least that's what I'm guessing.

    Set in Amsterdam as I understand it.
    The film does exactly what it says on the tin. Anyone who considers Dude Wheres My Car a guilty pleasure will enjoy it. Otherwise, no.
    Me, thought it was bit rubbish, but entertaining if theres nothing else on.

    Looking forward to the sequel.

    I think I read before somewhere that they changed the name because they were afraid of having a drug reference in the title in America. Us Europeans apparantly are made of tougher stuff. We can handle an innocuous remark in a title without turning into drug crazed loons. The young American public- not so much, if Hollywood is to be believed.

    They changed "Snatch" to "Snatch'd" in America cos snatch also means pussy :P
