Summary - Very Good 3.5

Despite the UK audience being given the dumbed down title of Harold & Kumar Get The Munchies, (We are aware of White Castle – US film distributors!!!).This film perfectly fits the niche of ‘frat’ boy/road trip style movies that have in recent years proved popular at the box office, and even more popular on the home DVD market.

A laugh out loud comedy with a great supporting cast (notably Neil Patrick Harris), our lead duo will let nothing get in the way of satisying their stoner appetite for those little burgers.

Acting - Good 3.0

While it was certainly never going to win oscars – the acting performances in this film are good enough for what the film needs.

Male Stars - Good 3.0

As a first lead role for both star, John Choo and Kal Pen carry this film well.

Female Stars - Good 3.0

Female Costars - Good 3.0

Male Costars - Good 3.0

A great comic supporting cast real carry this film along at breakneck speed. Ryan Reynolds, a great turn by Neil Patrick Harris who firmly put to bed those Dougie Howser memories, and an uncredited cameo by Anthony Anderson all help support Harold & Kumar in their quest for munchie satisfaction.

Film - Very Good 3.5

Direction - Very Good 3.5

Typical of a 'stoner' film - youth/pop culture references

Visuals - Very Good 3.5

Only bit in the whole film that disappointed me was where Harold & Kumar rode the cheetah to escape the cops. This bit looked like it was done on the cheap.
