Fantastic!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Blistering performances.
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
When A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas was originally released four years ago, I was kind of disappointed with it. Being a huge fan of the first movie and having enjoyed the second one well enough, I had surprisingly high hopes for this one given that it was an R-rated Christmas comedy, something that is not particularly common. Upon first viewing, I was left with the feeling that the movie was just more of the same. Harold has to stand up for himself again. Harold and Kumar get chased again by guys who are after them. Harold and Kumar run into Neil Patrick Harris again. I laughed enough, but I didn't think the film was anywhere near as funny or fresh as the first two.Having now seen the movie a few more times since,I can't say that all the repetition bothers me anymore. Yes, some of the repetition is obvious and unnecessary, but not nearly to the degree of 90% of other sequels. Truly, the one real major story problem in the movie is that for a film with Harold & Kumar in the title, the duo spends a bit too much time apart in the first act. The focus on Harold and Kumar's new friends is a little frustrating at times, especially considering how the characters seem to be written with the purpose of being intentionally annoying. When Harold and Kumar do finally reunite, the film really picks up speed, and remains quite consistently entertaining throughout with lots of memorable moments. Some of the highlights of the highlights include Jake Johnson as Jesus, the claymation freak-out sequence, and any scene with Wafflebot, maybe one of the dumbest yet funniest things ever captured on film. There's such a great energy to the proceedings that even when a scene isn't laugh-out-loud hilarious, it's always pleasant/enjoyable to watch.One of the more interesting aspects of the Harold and Kumar trilogy is the different tones of each movie. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, despite featuring a scene in which the title characters ride a cheetah, was somewhat grounded in the real world for most of its running time. Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanmo Bay was pretty much a full-blown cartoon, and over-the-top to a fault. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas has perhaps the most interesting tone of the trilogy. The film takes Harold and Kumar's friendship seriously with real heart, yet there are fantastical elements, such the inclusion of Santa in the finale. Despite all the raunchiness and occasional comic gore, the film genuinely seems to capture the tone of an old holiday special, one that is definitely not for children. The tone of this movie alone makes it fairly unique as I can't think of any other comedy with a similar feeling.Obviously one of the main selling point was that it was originally presented in 3D. There are few comedies that are in 3D, and I must admit that the 3D was the best part of seeing the film in theaters. The filmmakers had a blast making fun of the gimmick of 3D while exploiting its very nature. Some of this is quite funny. The Bobby Lee scene alone always makes me laugh more than it probably should. Occasionally though, the 3D technique comes off as distracting at times when watched in standard format. This doesn't destroy any scenes entirely, but it does stick out like a sore thumb on a handful of occasions. The overall film itself at least has a distinct visual style even without the 3D aspect, which also helps gives the stoner sequel more atmosphere than the lowbrow material probably deserves.I highly doubt there will ever been another Harold & Kumar flick as John Cho and Kal Penn are both probably too old to play these characters, not that such a fact would stop me from wanting to see a fourth installment. Cho and Penn have made Harold & Kumar the best comedic duo of the modern era. As a final chapter for the characters, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is a satisfying conclusion, and is the most memorable Christmas comedy of the past decade. 7/10
Everyone's favourite stoned morons return for a third round of mayhem in A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas. John Cho and Kal Penn just never seem to tire of these two lovable idiots, and as long as the hilarious dynamic of their friendship and increasingly funny antics stick around, neither will I. I actually found this one the most enjoyable of the three flicks, and tied with the second one for the funniest. It's insanely colourful, populated by weird and wonderful actors I wouldn't have thought to see in these movies. Harold, that lucky dog, is tying the knot with his sexy girlfriend Maria (Paula Garces) and couldn't be happier. There's just one problem: her vivacious Latin clan, led by blustering Mr. Perez (Danny Trejo, amusingly more at home in silly comedy than his usual brand of pulpy action) who doesn't like Harold one bit. When Kumar burns down the beloved Perez Christmas tree with a lit joint, he and Harold are propelled on a whacky adventure throughout New York City to find another one, and get into as much trouble as humanly possible. They get a three year old girl high on both weed and coke, get on the wrong side of ruthless Eastern European gangster Sergei Katsov (Elias Koteas has to be seen to be believed), encounter Santa himself (a scuzzy Richard Rhiele), star in their own drug fuelled stop motion version of their lives and barge into a magnificent Christmas special film set, starring you guessed, Neil Patrick Harris, who has a ball with his most disgusting antics of these movies thus far. A fun, dirty, wicked little Christmas romp as experienced by its perpetually ripped protagonists, who provide much of its deranged charm. Watch out for cameos including RZA, Patton Oswalt and an adorably perverted robot that serves waffles.
The third addition in the Harold and Kumar franchise is one not to be missed. The duo are back with their raunchy jokes and their love for pot. I dislike 3D greatly, but I admit 3D was used very well with this movie. I was very surprised with the clay-mation scenes because I did not see them coming and they were funny.The third film in the franchise takes place around Christmastime. Harold and Kumar have grown apart over time but their fates are drawn back together when Kumar receives a package that was meant for Harold. Harold is having Maria's family over for Christmas including her menacing father with a fetish for Christmas trees. Kumar comes over to deliver the package and accidentally destroys the tree. Now the duo must get another tree before Maria's father finds out.The acting is pretty good as we should expect. It's nice to see Kal Penn and John Cho back in these roles after a three-year absence. They may have outgrown these roles but they still deliver the laughs. I love Danny Trejo just for taking roles like these. He's one menacing dude! Of course, Neil Patrick Harris is the man. Enough said! Overall, thisis a very funny movie. While we still see the raunchy side of the duo, we now see that they have a heart. It's probably because it's a holiday film but still that's one of the reasons why this film works and doesn't grow stale. I loved the clay-mation and the 3D gimmicks. This may have been the only film I enjoyed in 3D. Maybe this and Avatar. This is almost a perfect end to the Harold and Kumar trilogy. I rate this film 9/10.
