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.

You don't just root for Harold and Kumar to get the girl, get the weed, and, above all, get the burger – you want to hang out with them while they' doing it, and see if they'e free next Friday night, too.

this movie is one of my favorite movies of all time and it lands at a stoner comedy that is stupid and dumb but funny at the same time.

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!
75
This stoner buddy movie is filled with raunchy, gross-out humor. It's immature, clunky and probably the best bit of groundbreaking social commentary we've seen in years.
63
In their formidable quest for junk food, Harold and Kumar end up redefining what the all-American protagonists of Hollywood movies should look like - and prove this comedy is not quite as brain-dead as it originally appeared.
60
It 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.
50
Pretty standard stuff, mixing a few truly clever moments with facile drug humor and throwaway female characters.

The official R rating is for "strong language, sexual content, drug use and some crude humor," but the MPAA is just being polite. It's all crude.

This movie is the definition of crack-house classic, according to most critics it is middle of the road, to me it is a beautiful story that can make me cackle in laughter every time I watch it.

what a high, horny and definitely hungry journey to mini burger nirvana. Harold an Kumar (and NPH) go through the ringer that most would've just gave up on. a cast full of random stars showing up was the perfect mix. need to check out of reality for a while? watch this adventure.

I like how they get high and cry in the beginning or **** the part to look for is the kayak in the indie mart scene......totally silly movie.....I don't buy that Harold would have been so dumb to throw out the last of their weed either so they should have tried to make Kumars reaction to that funnier.....I give it 6 but to be honest I can't even remember enjoying any comedy movie more than this right now....

The movie isn't very intelligent it doesn't try to send any useful information or a good plot line your way. But it is very entertaining and you will feel like you're on that high that Harold and Kumar were on right with them, every step of the way.

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
