(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 77% 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 B+ "You'll laugh, you'll laugh, and you'll laugh%u2014especially if you see the movie in the cannabis enhanced glaze that the filmmakers intend."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "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."   DustinPutman.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 6/10 "...for all its juvenile shortcomings, there's a sweet and beguiling charm to the film."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 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 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: 77% Fresh Page   1
