It can be funny sometimes how a movie can become a defining moment during a particular time. Just a few years ago in 2004, I was on holiday in Crete and had got into the habit of eating at tavernas that offered showings of the latest movie releases while you ate. The legality of this was somewhat unclear as these were films that had only just hit US audiences in movie theatres on release but my conscience did manage to overcome this possible infringement of copyright law when I became entranced by one particular movie from New Line Cinema, on a balmy evening on our beautiful holiday island. The movie we saw was titled “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” but ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Stoner comedies are a slowly emerging genre, but the problem is that for those who aren't "initiated", they might find the humour lost on them.

My next review is on the 2004, hit comedy Harold and Kumar get the Munchies, also known as Harold and Kumar go the White Castle, depending on where the film was released. Ill be honest I loved this film from start to finish, it was fresh, funny, and easy to follow and I could so totally relate to everything that has, or was going to happen in the film.

However, I am glad to say that this was not the case with this film, and it delivered everything I would expect from a comedy, whilst ...  Read the complete review

I first saw this in my first year of uni in 2006. My boyfriend had a copy of it and from time to time would try to persuade me to watch it. I refused several times, assuming it would be a childish and ridiculous bore - the sort of comedy that weed smoking teenage boys would find funny. Eventually though, I agreed to give it a go but only if I could write one of my essays at the same time (I refused to give it my full attention). But within the first five minutes I was hooked...and needles to say I didn't get any of my essay done. This film was made in 2004 and was directed by Danny Leiner. It is acually called Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle in America ...  Read the complete review
