A S Sounds off

I laughed in this movie far too many times to keep track of, and I wasn't stoned and I wasn't expecting it to be that great. But I have to strongly disagree with you - this is a funny movie - maybe not as funny as the precious Napoleon Dymanite - but it's good stoner comedy, which is just as funny as Eurotrip which is another film you said wasn't funny but was. You need to lighten up - Adam - have a bong hit -

Anne Staples,

Somehow, I don't believe the real Anne Staples wrote this reply, but that's pretty funny.

Listen. Comedies either make you laugh or they don't make you laugh. It's that simple. That's why they're so damned tough to review. What might make you laugh, won't necessarily make me laugh and vice versa. Harold and Kumar has it's moments, but I found it mostly unfunny. I'm not a tight ass and I'm certainly no prude. I even suggested that folks rent a Cheech and Chong flick or Half Baked instead. In my eyes, they're much funnier films. This one just didn't do it for me. Sorry.

I think Mr. Mast's problem is that he doesn't smoke enough weed. If you're gonna go to these stoner flicks catch a buzz. If you don't it's like watching a 3D movie without the glasses. It's like taking a fat chick home without the beer goggles .. . come one dude!

Stone God,

Are you kidding me? Did you read what I wrote? Harold and Kumar made me laugh in the neighborhood of five times. It's not that funny. I'll say this one more time; I suggest that--if you're a stoner or otherwise--rent a Cheech and Chong movie or Halfbaked instead. They are much funnier movies!!!!

Neil Patrick Harris's extended cameo steals the movie in my opinion. Who knew that one could create quite an interesting career out of a starring role in an early 90s television show and acting that emphasizes bland, inoffensiveness? I mean, who can forget the comedic/horrific sight of Standartenfuehrer Doogie in Starship Troopers, replete in a black leather trenchcoat and Nazi-like uniform, or Lance the White Intern in Undercover Brother? And now we have Neil Patrick Harris playing, um, Neil Patrick Harris, in a hilarious inversion of his normal star persona, with balls to the walls nutiness. Harold and Kumar pick Harris up in the wilds of New Jersey, and find the former television star "trippin' balls" on Ecstasy, confessing to have banged every woman on the set of Doogie Howser M.D. except for the "hot nurse," and so horny that he licks and dry humps the driver's seat before stealing Harold's car in his own quest to get himself "some trim," popping up every so often throughout the movie to torment our intrepid, put-upon heroes. It is a fine addition to an increasingly odd filmography.

The first time I went to this movie I was straight and I didn't think it was all that funny. I got dragged out to it again this time after smoking out and I still thought it was weak - good call. Napoleon Dynamite rules.

Let me first state that I am a white middle aged male who counts among his close friends, people of many colours, and cultures. I was appalled after watching Harold and Kumar go to White Rose the other night. Talk about perpetuating racism. Every white person in the film was portraying a complete idiot. From the skate boarders to the cop, one could easily see that my race is composed entirely of biggots, lunatics and losers. Whoever wrote this stuff was obviously harrassed by the police at some point. Deal with it! I've probably been beat up worse by them. Just for being a long-hair. The profession attracts power trippers of all colors. Even the one token "cool" white played by Neil Patrick Harris is a car thief as well as some sort of sex fiend. Have you ever heard anyone not mention the name "Doogie Howser" without some measure of contempt in their voice? Great role model! As for the boarders, is it in fact true that all who are into extreme sports are racists? One would think so after seeing this movie. Talk about stereotyping! If you are interested in watching a couple of guys whine about how unfair life is for a couple of hours, by all means, go see this movie.
