Python Hyena A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas (2011): Dir: Todd Strauss- Schulson / Cast: John Cho, Kal Penn, Neil Patrick Harris, Danny Trejo, Thomas Lennon: Christmas and pot smoking seem to be the holiday theme in this festive third outing featuring the Asian American Kumar and Chinese American Harold. The pair have gone separate ways with Harold now married and big on wall street, while Kumar is still his regular self living in an apartment and given the news that his girlfriend is pregnant. When an ominous package addressed to Harold lands outside his door, he delivers it only to end up burning the Christmas tree down that Harold's strict father- in-law brought. This simplistic setup is followed by numerous adventures to find a tree where they are hunted down by drug dealers, get a baby high on cocaine, and even accidentally shoot Santa himself. The humour is extra offensive this time out but features terrific 3-D elements including a sequence done in claymation. Director Todd Strauss-Schulson is backed with the same innovation that sold the first two films. Cho and Penn are still appealing as they find themselves again entrapped within strange subplots including one involving a waffle making robot. Neil Patrick Harris turns up in a great musical number although his vision of Heaven is offensive. The play on his sexuality is well placed. Danny Trejo as the grim father-in-law is given a background voicing his anguish. Thomas Lennon is very funny as an associate of Harold's whose baby gets stoned high. Colorful low blow holiday comedy about reconnection. Score: 6 / 10

The Seperator _ 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

elshikh4 What do you call someone who's crazy about drugs, sex and cursing ? You may call him pathetic or creepy. I may call him A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas ! This is exploitative movie, and worst than the worse exploitative movies ever. At least exploitative movies weren't made with millions, in 3D, or sold worldwide ! There is nothing serious to talk about. Because the writers of it did a story with thin plot, made a meaning about returning to your old pal, then immersed it in a movie chock-full of filth. All the kinds of filth.The list contains : A foul language, with the F word being said, in the most hellishly tedious ways, for every 10 seconds. Doing drugs; marijuana, weed, and coke. Sex with various activities. Tons of male and female nudity. Nasty stuff; like urine, feces and possible semen. Even violence with someone having a big bloody hole in his head. So it's not only filth; it's filth with extravagance. And the question here is; when and how does filth become entertaining ???????????Hollywood is a merchant; namely a huge establishment which if discovered that shooting air is profitable, then would hire Oscar winning directors to shoot it, and get to sell it internationally. So I'm sure that a considerable number of viewers, all over the world, has become in love with this hideousness. Therefore Hollywood used to produce it diligently, no matter how conservative persons like me would refuse that, calling it a mean way to make profits, or a vile excuse to make a movie ! Maybe it's aimed at every stoned Harold & Kumar out there, or the ones who secretly love being them, or the ones who want to forget their troubled complicated life (like the ones in the movie who were protesting "Down with Wall Street" !), or simply the spoiled teens to indulge their twisted lusts. However, the movie this way sounds and feels like a real drug. Heck. At times while watching it, it sounded and felt like I was having obnoxious drugs, among squalid people ! The 3D is annoying, and a new way to sell the Harold & Kumar joke for a third time. John Cho and Kal Penn do nothing but smocking weed, getting nude in clay animation, and saying the most awful words you may ever hear, for hundreds of times.. Didn't they get any board with saying F**k and Pe**s FOR ALL THE TIME?!, rather didn't they have any conscience to scream "What a cheap way to make a living that is !!!". Yet, I was deadly sick by Neil Patrick Harris. Does needing fame and money mean whoring yourself to this degree? In less than 10 minutes appearance, he got into all the kinds of filth, summing up the movie as a colored dunghill ! Now to despise this movie wrathfully, you have to mediate on how it frankly enjoys drugs. Look at the running gag of the kid who has drugs all the way, Neil Patrick Harris who begs, in nauseating and totally free scene, for the lovely coke, and a last message, by Kumar's lover to him, of "don't stop smocking weed" !!! This is like despicable propaganda for being a drug addict. Now this is not exploitative, disgusting, or else; this is a crime done under the name of art ! A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is purely and heavily made trash. Selling it as a buddy comedy about the real friendship is like selling morphine as candy. It's as ugly, immoral and harmful as doing drugs. Or, in lighter words, like eating out of a garbage can. Well, Hollywood has turned lately into a brat teen who's crazy about drugs, sex and cursing. And I won't let him force me to love his pathetic and creepy pleasures.Some day, Hollywood will look back at itself in regret, asking "What have I done" ?!

WakenPayne Simply put this is the best Harold and Kumar movie EVER! You will never look at Christmas the same way that Rare Exports will never have you look at Santa the same way again (even more so than the bong smoking Santa featured in the movie).This basically is the stupidest movie of last year... THANK GOODNESS (I'm an atheist - me saying Thank God is weird) this doesn't try to be any more than what it is (eg, Ted). An example of the stupidity is when Harold and Kumar imagine they're clay-mated and are being chased by a giant killer Snowman killing everything in it's path with a jolly Christmas song over the top... So if that isn't your sort of humour then please, do not watch this movie.The basic plot is that it has been 8 years since Guantanamo Bay, Harold and Kumar have stopped being friends for 2 of those years. Harold gets a package that was meant to be delivered to Harold. As Kumar gives Harold the package he opens it only to find out that it's a "joint". Harold throws it out only for it to go back in the house and burn down his Christmas-obsessed father-in-law's Christmas tree. After that just sit back, relax and let the insanity (like Ukranian gangsters, killer Waffle-bots, Giant killer snowmen and drug-addicted babies) do everything else for you.So please, don't expect anything more than what it is (my rating is based on what it is - If I believed that this is better than Stalker I'd probably kill myself) just watch it with no intellectual thought at all and you'll be fine.
