Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle: Do You Believe In Reincarnation, Dude?!?
Well what is one to make of a Cheech and Chong style stoner comedy in the year 2004? I went to the sneak preview, and the preview audience didn't seem any too sober in their reaction - they hoovered it up! As this kind of story goes - it was too funny - as a matter of fact - for the first time in ages, I involuntarily slapped my knee while laughing uproariously. I'm not kidding. This movie is an extremely funny ride! Harold and Kumar are hilariously unique stereotypes that seem to be on the very launchpad of their own movie series trajectory - there's a plot hole plenty big enough to drive a sequel through at the end of this laugh riot...
7 out of 5.

 Re: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle I laughed. A lot. More than I thought I would. A lot more. And I wasn't even stoned!
Yeah, there's a lot of poop and fart and penis jokes, and that ruins some of it, but there's also a lot of genuine hilarity about race relations and middle America that feels authentic. Sure, it's a silly stoner comedy, but it's at least one that makes (somewhat) sense.
I also love these types of comedies that deal with one crazy night (Dazed + Confused, American Graffiti, Can't Hardly Wait), and though this isn't about graduation, there's that same sense of spontaneity and immediacy developed here. The film is just about getting to White Castle. That's all that matters.
Better than I'd thought it be. Looking forward to the sequel.

Re: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle I agree with Yosh.
This is one of the best comedies of the decade. I have really high hopes for the sequel.

Re: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle When I first saw it, I gave it a B. But it's gotten funnier as time goes on. Lots of good lines, and some of the best cameos in recent years. The sequel has become my most anticipated of the Spring now doubt.
Solid A comedy here.

Re: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle 80% funny, 20% smart. I enjoyed it, and I wasn't even high!

Re: Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle I can't see why anyone would dislike this film. Its smart, original (at least by current hollywood standards) funny as hell and gets better with age.
