Nell Minow Common Sense Media Extremely dumb and vulgar comedy; not for kids. Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone A multilayered goof on ethnic stereotypes... Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 14, 2007 Full Review Empire Magazine Warm, crazily inventive and sometimes hysterical... Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review At once smart and stupid, it’s an odd mix that works just enough to make up for its failures. Rated: 3/4 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Just when we thought the stoner comedy was a hazy relic of the past, along comes a new farce that has every hallmark of having been written while under the influence. Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope The perfectly matched comic pair of Harold and Kumar's reactions to the adventures they share during the course of the movie powers this story and provides the basis for this very funny stoner road trip comedy. Rated: B Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
