Critic Reviews
Harold and Kumar share a quality the overgrown adolescents in films like this are never allowed to possess: They're witty, focused, and highly aware. They make having a brain look hip.
Read the full reviewA peppy, satisfying comedy that could soon become a minor classic
Read the full reviewWill seem a classic if you're stoned, and only slightly less funny if you're straight.
Read the full reviewGleefully upends expectations and delivers an energetic comedy tracing two guys'all-night search for the perfect White Castle burger.
Read the full reviewI laughed often enough during the screening of Harold & Kumar that afterward I told Dann Gire, distinguished president of the Chicago Film Critics' Assn., that I thought maybe I should rent "Dude, Where's My Car?" and check it out.
Read the full reviewPenn's Kumar could become Jeff Spicoli for the generation of college kids who've never seen "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" but always seem to have a copy of "Dude, Where's My Car?" cued up at a moment's notice.
Read the full reviewA blissfully silly, character-driven road movie with impressive laugh-per-minute performance specs.
Read the full reviewThat Cho and Penn are such likable actors and are so funny in their roles earns the movie more slack than it probably deserves and prevents it from being just another gross-out comedy.
Read the full reviewThe recent model for this kind of surreal jazz-riff comedy is Doug Liman's 1999 "Go," a neo-classic. But you know already from the director (Dude, Where's My Car?'s Danny Leiner) if this movie is for you. Leiner has cornered the recent market on low-rent farces.
Read the full reviewIt boldly subverts stereotypes and challenges conventional wisdom by presenting affable Korean and Indian antiheroes who are just as sex-crazed, irresponsible, mischief-prone, and chemically altered as their white counterparts.
Read the full reviewThe chemistry between the two is as old as Abbott and Costello. Harold is the sensible worried one, and Kumar zany and reckless. The movie's funniest moments, set at Princeton University, caricature and then demolish the image of Asian-Americans as nerdy, sexless bookworms incapable of fun.
Read the full reviewPretty standard stuff, mixing a few truly clever moments with facile drug humor and throwaway female characters.

Europe
"Harold and Kumar go to Europe should be the title of the next flick.If Harold goes to chase down the woman he longs for it would more then likely cuase more adventure.But no more cartoony scenes like in the last one.And the gay inuendo needs to be left out.Whos comfortable with that?"
