Christmas came early for me this year. I didn't know there was a third part to the franchise, so finding out about Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas made my of October. That said, I watched it on the fourth of the month, so
This particular installment of the Harold and Kumar series takes place over an entire day just before Christmas. After Harold and Kumar's last adventure, Escape from Guantanamo Bay, it seems the duo had become estranged. Since then Harold has grown-up, given up the stoner life, and become a respectable citizen. Then, out of nowhere the good ol' Kumar shows up and burns down Harold's Christmas tree with a massive joint. Harold desperately needs a new tree, but finding one is not as easy a task as it sounds. Their adventure begins.
What ensues during the quest to find this tree is either comic genius or just utter crap. I propose it is solid mix. First, there is a toddler that gets high on at least three types of drugs. Then Harold and Kumar themselves get drugged, drugged into a random "claymation" sequence in fact where they are almost killed by an Abominable Snowman. Then, they almost get killed again, this time by some gangsters.
Thanks to the veritable array of ethnicities in the film there are some hilarious race jokes that come across nicely, but the highlight of the film must be when Harold and Kumar have a run in with "America's Sweetheart" Neil Patrick Harris. Yes! The Neil Patrick Harris, the one that died and came back to life in Guantanamo More reviews at getthebonesaw.blogspot.com
