Okay, so I’ve actually managed to watch this movie twice in the past week. The first time was out of sheer desperation due to an absolute lack of ANYTHING else on TV. It was at night and the movie just hit us as being funny in the worst possible way. The language is a bit much at some points and the frontal nudity is way too much for me, but overall the slapstick, stupid, situational, stoner humor will make you laugh until tears leak out of your eyes. The extreme mix tape in the truck of the poser gang is the best, but I would hate to spoil anything for anyone. 🙂
Apparently, it was funny enough that we decided to watch it again when we finished watched Leslie Nielson’s Wrongfully Accused and were looking for something else. Leslie Nielson is a little too slapstick and A LOT too stupid for me, unless I’m in exactly the right mood, but Harold and Kumar fit the bill after all of the complete mindlessness.
I never would have gone to see it in the theater, but for me, it’s definitely worth watching when nothing else is on. Okay, maybe even a little better than that. Not quite repeat-worthy like Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, as I could probably watch that movie at least once a week for the rest of my life.
Too bad Harold and Kumar is now over and we’re back to nothing on TV. Someone tell me why we pay so much for so many channels to not have anything to watch when we truly need it? I guess that’s why they make DVDs.
