(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1   "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."   Blogcritics.org   Alan Dale 7/10 "Director Danny Leiner has now elevated the stoner comedy to its highest peak..."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel C "Features quite possibly the worst, most unfunny scene of the 2004 film year."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Repeatedly, as per road-movie formula, Harold and Kumar come to expect sex and/or druggy delirium, only to be disappointed."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 79/100 "A movie that is funny far more often than it flops, and one that – more importantly – challenges the Myth of the American Melting Pot."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 79/100 "A celebration of the rights of all people from all races, creeds and beliefs to have equal access to the best-damned burger Americans can fry up! "   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 3/5 "That the movie is dumb goes without saying. But is it funny? You betcha."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2/4 "...the movie has delivery that often overshadows the punch lines, and it's not very accessible."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "...fares a whole lot better than the majority of its stoner-comedy brethren..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "It's all as serious as a White Castle slider."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Its unforced mixture of the crass with the sweet may not be the likeliest of combinations, but it is a decidedly beguiling one, all the same."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "I will tell you without compunction that I laughed many times during the film, and I will add that 90 percent of those laughs were at things I cannot repeat here."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Has the coarse exterior of a typical 'stoner classic,' but also a prominent undercurrent that is sweet, clever, and even a little thoughtful."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B- "Though too scattershot and uneven to be recommended without reservation, it has a loose, goofball charm that makes it a pleasant surprise and may earn it cult status."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "pulls off the nearly impossible in subverting racial stereotypes by constantly evoking them"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "This buddy pot comedy's blunted charm lacks the clarity to make it soar as high as its protagonists."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3.5/4 "a whacky, racially refreshing breather in Hollywood's white-dominated, politically over-correct bummer of a mainstream culture"   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani 8/10 "Funny and brave; it's tradition with a refreshing new twist."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "...all of which add up to nothing in terms of plot, but plenty in terms of entertainment value, laughs and fun."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 60/100 "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."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 3.5/4 "Made me laugh loud and often as much if not more than any other movie I’ve seen this year."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "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? "   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll B+ "an epic pothead movie with laughs and smarts"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "What's impressive about the jokes is how smart so many of them are"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[S]tarts out gross... and descends into the utterly moronic."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "An empowering idea is woven with great subtlety into a series of poop jokes, sex jokes, and pot jokes. Maybe some people will miss it. I didn’t."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C- "Its very unambitiousness gives the film moments that almost approach charm. That said, it's still mostly just extremely dumb and vulgar. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "As unsatisfying as its titular fast food chain’s repulsive mini-burgers, Leiner’s film shoots only for scatological silliness."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Amid the insane goofiness there's some serious stuff happening that actually speaks to us."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "A deserving, albeit minor classic, if only for being so bold as to describe Katie Holmes' breasts as being "the exact opposite" of the Holocaust."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick B+ "H&K has a lot to say about smoking pot and the silliness of its illegality...a “Marijuana Kills” public service commercial...is a stroke of satiric genius."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "If you're among those who giggled at the trailer before calling your buds to say Dude. Harold Kumar. Looks funny., you'll probably find a solid case of chuckles here."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C- "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."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker B- "[Cho and Penn] form an immediately likeable twosome with enough chemistry to carry this comedy ... past some obvious faults."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Stretches the boundaries of offensiveness in ways that both make us laugh and make us think."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 2/4 "It leaves you hungry -- for a better movie."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 3/4 "I don't know if it's a revolution, but it's a step in the right direction. Funny, too."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 79/100 Read review   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1
