Nearly a perfect movie. Perhaps the only thing detracting from it is the deja vu from a half dozen other road movies. Crude humor is having a renaissance. This is the golden age of watching horny guys getting stoned on the big screen. Big laughs, though I made the mistake of bringing the kids..oh well, they liked it, too...and luckily didn't ask any questions. Pretty fly...for some non-white guys.… Expand

Hilarious! I got a big kick out of the "EXTREME" stupid white guys, especially when they get excited over a bag of Extreme Doritos at a convenience store. And of course they get what they deserve in the end, because the universe unfolds as it should.

When I saw previews for this movie I told myself that there is no way that I would see it. Well Im glad to say that I was wrong. Hands down one of the most clever movies that I have seen in a while.

There are some very funny scenes in this seemingly lame movie, but a lot of parts won't be funny to anyone who isn't high on pot. The idea of the plot is just so intelligently void to begin with, and the movie makes a lot of promises it doesn't keep. The highlight of the film is the cameos, including my favorite by Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU) as a greasy red-neck who tries to get the two boys into a four way with him and his wife. Neil Patrick Harris plays himself, and Anthony Anderson plays a guy working at a fast food burger joint who brags about spraying his seed in the burger's special sauce. Bottom Line: It's sometimes hysterical, but mostly pretty lame. But, what do you expect from a movie starring the Indian guy from "Van Wilder" and the Asian guy from the "American Pie" movies.… Expand

If it wasn't for Anchorman or Shaun of The Dead, it would easily be the best comedy of the year. I need to see Kal and John more often. I just saw this solely on the fact that both were from great teen comedies (John: American Pie, Kal: Van Wilder).

Easily the funniest movie of the year. In the spirit of, yet superior to, the American Pie trilogy. MUCH funnier than Dude, Where's My Car -- much more intelligent -- and Ashton Kutcher can't act his way out of a freakin' paper bag. There MUST be a sequel to this thing. Amersterdam, baby.

This is truly a classic. Look out for one of the best scenes ever when Kumar (Kal Penn) goes through an extended flash forward of what his life would be like having married a bag of pot.

?Dude, Where?s My Car? is one of the guiltiest of guilty pleasures of mine. It?s a stupid juvenile stoner sci-fi comedy and was just about one of the funniest movies I had ever seen at the time. It came out in the winter and the brightness of the California summer portrayed in the film was in complete contrast to the look outside of the theatre. But the film worked for its idiocy and audience and was hellishly fun. It?s impossible to defend this kind of film when I am a seedy discourager of 90% of Adam Sandler movies, but it was just too much fun to ignore. ?Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle? is director Danny Leiner?s stoner follow-up to ?Dude, Where?s My Car??, and is as defendable as it is enjoyable. To compare ?Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle? to ?Dude, Where?s My Car?? in quality is like comparing ?Braveheart? to ?Man Without a Face?. It is the ?Citizen Kane? of stoner road movies, a revolutionary movie unseen in the youth comedy genre since ?Animal House?. Its laughs depend on sight gags but sheathe below the surface and into real life humor, despite the use of a cheetah as a vehicle. It has lots of insights on culture that make it seems smart without being too brainy. The plot, however flimsy and simple it should be, is about two guys, Harold and Kumar, who are on an adventure to white castle. Harold, a Korean played by John Chow from the ?American Pie? movies and the excellent ?Better Luck Tomorrow? (an in-joke that only I got), is an accountant and is given a load of work to do by a slacking superior. Kumar, an Indian played by Kal Penn (Van Wilder), is applying most uninterestingly to a med school. When the dean tells Kumar that he is greatly disappointed in his enthusiasm in proportion to his qualifications, Kumar has a great comeback line. After the doldrums of the day have ended, they both recluse to some premium weed. The munchies quickly set in and the two desire the perfect food for the evening when suddenly, a White Castle ad comes up and the two have a goal for the evening. The two quest on to the nearest White Castle and chow down on sliders (tiny burgers that slide instantly from the mouth to the stomach). But the endeavor is not without pit stops: a hilarious part at Princeton University that includes a bathroom scene much funnier and gross-out than a similar one in ?White Chicks?. They also come by Dougie Howser, who steals their car so that the line ?Dude, where?s my car?? can be uttered later. Yet the funniest scenes do not come from the sight gags on the adventure, but rather from the plays and sidestepping of the two leads. Harold is Chinese and was a very ?American? first name, which a shadow-lurking cop tells him he should be proud of, while he assumes Kumar is spelled with 5 O?s and 3 E?s. What the film does really well instead is take out all of the typical (now they are atypical) stereotypes of the two and make them into almost typical stoner Americans. It?s a far better movie than anything Cheech & Chong ever did and has a lot of energy that stoner films always lack. Just because it?s about lazy people does not justify its lazy self. … Expand

I've never laughed so hard in my life. It got good from the moment the Burger Shack dude wanted to burn his own restaurant down while dreaming about a White Castle burger. Haha.

Although "Being Neal Patrick Harris" is funnier than "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle", the latter is a relatively rollicking joyride as well. But to paraphrase John Doe of X, "[Doogie] is having much more fun." "Harold and Kumar..." is a more successful assimilation experiment than "Better Luck Tomorrow", but intentional or not, the film posits an interesting self-consciousness about Harold and Kumar's ethnicity, in particular, the avoidance of fistacuffs with a gang of white boys. Had they mixed it up with the convenience store vandalizers, and were beaten soundly, "Harold and Kumar..." would allign itself closer to the Justin Lin film than "Dude, Where's My Car?", because it would look like a hate crime. This is a comedy with tension, albeit largely effaced by the usual hijinks, typical of the genre. But the cops have to be portrayed as complete morons for a reason this time, or else, the cop's harassment of Harold by saddling him with a trumped-up charge, which leads to a propagated act of civil disobedience, would seem more obviously racist. "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" might be stupid, but John Cho and Kal Penn play their characters like they're protected by a stupid-proof shield. It makes for a nice juxtaposition. … Expand

Can't wait for Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam.....Sweet.

Typical male jerk-off sex fantasy that ironically casts two nerds as underdogs to be sympathized with, while degradingly portraying women as sluts and whores.

Definately a very funny movie. Laughed my ass of every time I,ve seen it. This generations Cheech and Chong.

I do not understand how a moronic movie of this caliber gets high ratings. I would assume 13-18 year old males are the ones giving this garbage 9s and 10s. If you think this movie is good then I would imagine you could put any 2 idiots on the big screen smoking dope and trashing women and it will be a masterpiece. I weep for the future.

I was not high watching this film. I do not enjoy spending money to watch trash. i have some intelligence. this movie does not.

I really liked the movie the sexy east indian guy really made the show better. So it was really funny when they showed him with the weed in love.

Very funny film, some parts are a lil desperate for a laugh but scenes such as when Kumar day dreams about him and his newly found love (big bag o weed) make this film a must rent if not a must buy for the true comedy lovers or stoners :D

I was barely interested enough to finish watching this self-indulgent movie. Not very funny, and so filled with stereotypes - especially odd for a movie that aims to reverse the Asian/Indian image. The one thing I did enjoy was Neil Patrick Harris' cameo.

Without a doubt one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. If it's not the funniest, it's top three. If you havent seen it, see it, and if you've seen it, see it again!

This movie was good.

This movie is really really funny. If you liked Euro Trip or Old School, you'd probably love this movie. Has some great toliet humor and also some very witty and creative jokes as well. I also loved how the minorities are normal and all the white dudes are crazy as hell. Plus it has almost as good of a cameo as Matt Damon in Euro Trip.

Pure brilliance. This is one of the funniest films i have see this summer. if not the funniest. John Cho, and Kal Penn are one hell of a team. This was just as funny as the first two american pie movies, ad much funnier then the third movie.

This movie was damn funny! IF you are brown, its even funnier!... If you liked this movie, make sure you see some other movies by Kal Penn such as... Van Wilder and American Desi...

Pure hilarity. I can't believe this movie isnt getting better ratings, but i guess most critics dont have much of a sense of humour after going through a thesaurus all day trying to sound intelligent. This is simply the funniest movie so far this year, with a bonus to that if you are asian, brown or a stoner.

This movie was totally hilarious and even better than the trailers suggested!

This is an amazing movie regardless of your drug habits. I don't smoke up and loved it. It's inspirational.

Great movie. Lots of fun!

Very funny movie. Most movies like this bomb, but the cast really makes this movie. I am craving White Castle as well. I live in Northeast PA, and the nearest White Castle? Yes, you guessed it. Cherry Hill, NJ.

Best movie ever!!! well, on this moment. Haha. Greets from Holland!

In the overly used category of "teen-off-to-college" comedy that is starting to become generic, this movie is suprisingly original. Spawned from two masterpieces of the genre, Harold and Kumar never fails to make you laugh...hard.

H+K is a film that plays perfectly to the audience it's trying to grab. Not just stoners... but... actually... yes...just stoners, but stoners with a conscience. Or something. Stoners who like White Castle.

The people giving this movie one's and zero's definately take movies too seriously. For those of you without anything stuck back there, check this movie out. Rude, crude, offensive: this movie is all of those, but that's just how I like my stupid comedies.

Lighten up! If you can't laugh at this movie then maybe you should think twice about what you do laugh at. Lets face it, any movie with Neil Patrick Harris, as himself mind you, blowing lines off a girls badunkadunk HAS to be a good movie.

Pathetic. That says it all.

Dude, for the 5 people in here that complains about how dumb this movie is. can you please get a life and explain comedy ? if harold and kumar isn't comedy, well give me a break, do yo know what comedy is even about? it's about how dumb people can get. if you don't like comedy type of movies then just don't watch them + complain about them. that's just senseless.

For the first 20-30 minutes of the movie, I was pleasantly surprised and really settled in for a great comedy. But after that (starting with the racoon scene and ending with Neil Patrick Harris) things just plummeted. We shut it off at that point. Really disappointing as it had potential to be a great comedy classic.

Yo, quit hatin on the movie..that goes for the liberals. Sunny S: " 2 geeks look for a burger. Really. " if you dont like it then whyd you see it? from the preview everyone knew that much. Matt L: " Pathetic. That says it all. " pathetic? this was a piece of comic genious. George C. : "I was not high watching this film. I do not enjoy spending money to watch trash. i have some intelligence. this movie does not." the first time i saw the movie in theaters i was high, but that doesnt matter, the next week i rented the movie with some friends and watched it again, this time i wasnt high, and it was still just as great. Jack Me : "I do not understand how a moronic movie of this caliber gets high ratings. I would assume 13-18 year old......" well gee, its about guys smokin weed and partyin, duh its for teenagers.. and frankly, if you are older then a teenager you need to grow up, jack me? that's sad.. i think i've bashed on you haters enough. this movie rocked, the acting wasn't the greatest but it wasnt a disaster like the movie alone in the dark. 10 outta 10, one of the greatest comedies ive ever seen.… Expand

A generation-defining masterwork. It's a one-of-a-kind journey into the mind of the 21st century stoner, and perhaps the funniest film since the ball dropped in 2000.

This is a damn funny movie filled with a ton of creative jokes and better than usual bathroom humor and dumb jokes. Penn and Cho are a great comedic team with perfect timing. The movie even throws in some good points about racism and karma.

Funny! Hilarious! If you don't laugh at this one, then you have some serious depression issues.

Great movie, kuumar reminds me of my best friend chris, they look alike.

Big surprise how funny and entertaining this movie is, I almost wet myself.

Best ever (korean).

Very funny stuff. You either get it or you don't! I'm glad I get it.

This was one of the best movies i have ever seen in my life i never laughed that hard in a movie straight through i thought it would be stupid as hell boy was i in for a surprise when i saw it i give it 2 thumbs up way up way to go john and kal.

This movie was stupid but very funny, it almost reminded me of a Cheech and Chong type flick [Ed: Yes!]. I would recommend it to anyone who isnt a stuck up prick when it comes to drugs, language, and sexual content.

This movie was great. The two leads were fantastic, the comedy was OK (but lose the damn cheetah), but mainly, finally, someone acknolwedged that you can put someone in the lead of a stoner comedy (besides Cheech and Chong) that isn't a white person. Way the hell better than Dude, Where's My Car!

2 geeks look for a burger. Really.

Very cool movie! This is humor :)

A very funny movie - liked it much more than I expected to. And Neil Patrick Harris should get an Oscar for his supporting role! Talk about acting against type!

If I was sixteen and hadn't seen these jokes before, I would have thought it was hysterical. Since I'm not I rarely cracked a smile.

Cult classic. I enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty funny. Yes it does get a little boring and the jokes maybe a bit too childish but its still a good comedy.

This movie is a minor classic. I finally got the chance to watch it after seeing the edited-for-TV version of the sequel umpteenth times. Now all I have to do is see the regular version of the sequel... and be the first in line for the third movie this Christmas!

Excellent comedy, it grips the viewer throughout the whole movie. They're like a better version of cheech and chong. Or the two guys from the movie How High!

Because of movies like this there are a lot of addicts, but is kind of funny, i like this kind of movies when in a road trip or a crazy night happen a lot of random things, is a funny movie but is not good to make drugs look cool

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great movie, except for the cheetah part - that pretty much ruined the realism of the movie. Great choice of soundtracks, great actors - not so much comedy, though. I mean, there was some decent comedy but it didn't rise up on my level of humor. I didn't laugh on the floor holding my stomach. Nonetheless, great movie and will definitely watch the sequel when I have time.… Expand
