Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
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.

Variety Robert Koehler
Gleefully upends expectations and delivers an energetic comedy tracing two guys'all-night search for the perfect White Castle burger.

L.A. Weekly Chuck Wilson
Smart, goofy and endearing, Cho and Penn make a terrific team, and the fact that they're starring in their own movie suggests that, in the Hollywood comedy frat house, there's finally room for everyone.

Chicago Tribune
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.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
A blissfully silly, character-driven road movie with impressive laugh-per-minute performance specs.

Village Voice Dennis Lim
Winds up a sweetly nonchalant and excellently unwhiny allegory of seeking and gaining entry to the Caucasian fortress that is present-day America, or at least nocturnal New Jersey.

Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Clearly, this unabashedly silly movie, written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, is the work of people with a grasp of the stream-of-consciousness creativity that a few bong hits can impart.

The A.V. Club Nathan Rabin
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.

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky
Funnier when high -- what isn't? -- Harold and Kumar may also serve as the first infomercial for weed and burgers.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The multicultural cast gives a shred of substance to what's otherwise a standard adolescent gross-out flick.
