THE STORY: CRITIC'S TAKE
The first two films were food for the retarded and drugged up mind. This film is no different. When I heard about it I thought Oh My God not again. These two goofballs can not be at it again. Adding Christmas to it just made it that much stupider. What I mean by stupider is... it's freaking great!
STORY
It seems as though that Harold and Kumar has drifted apart. Kumar is getting married to a woman named Maria and Harold has become a successful business man. Kumar is able to find santa at his local mall and asks him a bunch of questions. The only real answer santa gave him was found in the blunt that santa made for him. Meanwhile at their old place, Kumar recieves a package. Within that package is the mother of all weed. Harold is impaled to deliver the package personally. This proves to be a huge mistake because Kumar is trying to change his ways and o yeah they manage to burn down Kumar's Christmas tree!
That Christmas tree was given to him by his father-in-law. The father wanted his daughter to have a Christmas that he never had. Harold has no choice but to find a similar tree or the father will kick his ass! Kumar feeling guilty tries to help but only made things worse. This leads to them getting kidnapped, shooting santa, seeing some hot ass, and spending time with their old friend Neil! It was one wild time!
The party had to end though and the quest for the Christmas tree didn't have a happy ending. Kumar now has to face the dreaded father in law and wonder if he has finally ruined his life. Harold has to make a big choice that will lead him to an old flame. Will everything end well with these two weed heads? Go see the film in 3D if you haven't already!
ACTING
The acting here was pretty good. You knew that Kal and John would have great chemistry. Neil was as funny as ever and added a lot to the film. I didn't like the women in this movie though. They just seemed so stall and boring. Thankfully the movie didn't follow suit.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
This film had good action throughout. The 3D was pretty good and eye popping. They did over due the 3D though and a thought some of it wasn't needed. It's about time we saw some X rated 3D in a comedy. That can poke my eyes out any day.
WRITING AND DIRECTING
The film was written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. They did a decent job with the laughs. This movie is over the top but that is what made this film such a success. The film was directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. He didn't bring anything special to this film. Any director could do what he did and it seems he relied to hard on the 3D to hide his inexperience. The story did flow nicely though and the movie isn't too long. The director must be happy.
THE END
It's a decent film to see when you're high or tipsy. You probably wouldn't enjoy it to it's fullest potential while sober. It's a good late night movie with buddies. You'll have a good time. Just don't forget to light up first before going to see it. With the 3D things will get crazy!
