November 3, 2011fb733768972The fact that a writer can create an entire 90 minute story, revolving around the fact that two guys just want a burger from white castle, is already a fantastic achievement in comedy. The lowbrow puns, the frantic situations that they happen to get themselves into, the poop and ... read more

September 23, 2011HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE is a vulgar, gross stoner/road comedy that only pleases the stoned viewers who are watching it. It tells the story of (well, if you want it plain and simple, that is) an Indian-American and a Korean-American (stirring up a lot of racial issues... read more

August 20, 2011"Harold And Kumar" at first seems like it will be an awful American comedy, yet it is actually incredibly entertaining and very, very enjoyable.
John Cho and Karl Penn go on a trip for White castle burgers after smoking cannabis and encounter many strange things along the way, a... read more -

July 8, 2011I quite enjoy films about a totally weird string of events that occur during a road trip or one wild night like this. This reminded me of After hours crossed with Dude where's my car? A stoner comedy that has a bit of something for most people and a good chemistry between the lea... read more

June 16, 2011I laughed my ass off watching this movie. Harold and Kumar have a great chemistry as best friends and it made the film even better. Possibly the best stoner comedy ever. This has such a pointless but hilarious plot, and is the greatest White Castle commercial ever. The comedy ... read more

June 3, 2011Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle has got to be one of the best stoner comedies since Halfed Baked and The Big Lebowski. What makes this film unique is that it presents a really simple story, two guys get high then they go out to find the perfect food to kill their muchies, only ... read more

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Stretches the boundaries of offensiveness in ways that both make us laugh and make us think. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Silliness is the movie's only ambition, but there's something mind-blowing about seeing a fratty comedy through two pairs of Asian-American eyes, particularly when those eyes belong to actors who were... Full Review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
A peppy, satisfying comedy that could soon become a minor classic. Full Review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Will seem a classic if you're stoned, and only slightly less funny if you're straight. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
This is one more 'youth movie' that'll put years on anyone over 25. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
If it's possible for a movie to be sly and full-on raunchy at the same time, Danny Leiner's p.o.v.-shifting stoner-buddy comedy is it. Full Review

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Has enough laughs and misadventures to satisfy its built-in audience, but it won't win any converts. Full Review
July 30, 2004
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Crude, tasteless, sophomoric and crass. It is also, sometimes, funny. Full Review
July 30, 2004
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
While Harold & Kumar isn't quite a low-brow revelation on the scale of Clerks, it is one of film history's more inspired examples of off-color Jerseyana. Full Review
