Will never become a teen classic, to be remembered lovingly as the film that shaped your teenage years but one thing's for sure: it's very funny and wonderfully dumb.

There's an audience that will appreciate this, but they may struggle to see it through the smoke.

Stretches the boundaries of offensiveness in ways that both make us laugh and make us think.

A thin setup followed by thinner jokes.

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is the latest multicultural variant of the lowbrow buddy comedy in which the heroes just want to get high and laid.

There is a lot of imagination in this wacky ride of a film that would make 'The Dude' from The Big Lebowski very happy.

Amid the insane goofiness there's some serious stuff happening that actually speaks to us.

It's what a stoner comedy should be. It's what a buddy comedy should be. Two for the price of one sure as hell ain't bad . . . the funniest thing I've seen in months.

Nearly every gut-wrenching turn is somehow derived from an ethnic slur, juvenile sight gag, or the glorification of an illegal substance and its side effects.
09/02/04
So disreputable in its premise and so fly-by-night in its technique that it's easy to enjoy. It's unburdened by aspirations
08/17/04
Features quite possibly the worst, most unfunny scene of the 2004 film year.
08/16/04
as far as stoner comedies go, this is a surprisingly well-done affair
08/12/04
Harold and Kumar discover that the American Dream is not to be Doogie Howser; it's to be Neil Patrick Harris.
08/11/04
pulls off the nearly impossible in subverting racial stereotypes by constantly evoking them
08/11/04
A raft of guest stars (Neil Patrick Harris, Christopher Meloni, Anthony Anderson, Bobby Lee of "Mad TV")--at their absolute wackiest--flesh out this stoners' banquet.

...all of which add up to nothing in terms of plot, but plenty in terms of entertainment value, laughs and fun.
