1. Quality

2. 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.

4. 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.

5. Male Stars Good 3.0

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

6. Female Stars Good 3.0

7. Female Costars Good 3.0

8. 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.

10. Film

    Very Good 3.5

11. Direction Very Good 3.5

12. Play Great 4.0

    Typical of a ‘stoner’ film – youth/pop culture references

13. Music Good 3.0

14. 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.
