    A little off beat for some, but it wasn't that bad for an independent movie.

    Harold: Harold's a story about a 12 year old kid who's bald. Thats it. Thats basically everythin you need to know except that by god i loved Harold! It has one of the biggest suprises i've ever seen in films EVER: - Cuba Gooding Jr doing some quality acting again. Seriously - i c...( read more)ant big him up enough - he's fucking excellent in it!!! The storys pretty entertaining until the final third when things become all tied up and american as usual but the script has enough good moments to more than make up for it. A complete pleasant suprise. I would write more but im pretty beat but yeah, its a really nice enjoyable film and yer main man - who plays harold is such an old man its unbelievable

    A few good scenes in this high school comedy about the bald Harold. Cuba Gooding have a role aswell as the janitor. Just an average flick in this genre among thousands others.

Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine

Shot and lit like a mediocre TV show, the sporadically amusing Harold is a true Blockbuster contender, that is for the bargain bins of the video store. And soon. full review
