Top CriticBehind all the Farrelly-esque gross-out humour and Cheech & Chong-isms lies a sensitive little picture with a deftly handled anti-racism slant.

While unabashedly unsophisticated, this flick is subtly smarter, more audacious and more finely tuned than other movies of its ilk...
05/26/06
a whacky, racially refreshing breather in Hollywood's white-dominated, politically over-correct bummer of a mainstream culture
08/24/06
Just when we thought the stoner comedy was a hazy relic of the past, along comes a new farce that has every hallmark of having been written while under the influence.

Just as Mike Judge's Office Space has become an anthem for all us Gen X cubicle slaves, Harold and Kumar will resonate deeply with anyone who attended high school in the 1990s and at least saw a joint.

H&KGTWC is a smart person's fart movie! It's like a American Road Pie Trip for the intelligente - the partying intelligente
07/30/04
Crude, tasteless, sophomoric and crass. It is also, sometimes, funny.
07/30/04
What makes Harold And Kumar so good is their demented selves -- you'll love the characters.
07/30/04
It doesn’t make any sense, but damn if it doesn’t pull it off in style.
07/28/04
Harold and Maude Go to White Castle might have been a better bet, but this is nevertheless a gross-out comedy with a difference.
07/30/04
The jokes aren't exactly smokin', but there are enough high points to make this a gratifying pot comedy.
07/29/04
'This night is about the American dream,' Kumar promises, and you know what? It sort of is. [Blu-Ray]
08/04/08
Whoever thought that one of the best times at the movies this year would feature a shot of Doogie Howser snorting cocaine out of the small of a woman’s back?
07/30/04
I don't know if it's a revolution, but it's a step in the right direction. Funny, too.
07/28/04
Funny and brave; it's tradition with a refreshing new twist.
04/15/05
This is one more 'youth movie' that'll put years on anyone over 25.
