Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle Reviews
At once smart and stupid, it’s an odd mix that works just enough to make up for its failures.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 8, 2024

The perfectly matched comic pair of Harold and Kumar's reactions to the adventures they share during the course of the movie powers this story and provides the basis for this very funny stoner road trip comedy.

What I especially liked about Harold and Kumar was its systematic confrontation and denial of all the Asian male stereotypes I’ve come to despise.

...for all its juvenile shortcomings, there's a sweet and beguiling charm to the film.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 20, 2008
A deserving modern classic, even if only for being so bold as to describe Katie Holmes' breasts as being "the exact opposite" of the Holocaust.
| Original Score: B+ | May 2, 2008
...fares a whole lot better than the majority of its stoner-comedy brethren...
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 1, 2008
An over-the-top romp which rehashes lots of dumb drug jokes but breaks far enough away from the tried-and-true teen formula to earn a high mark even from this jaded critic.
