Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

NateWatchesCoolMovies 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.

Johan Dondokambey The story goes back to the first movie's recipe of having a certain object as the final goal, in this case the Christmas tree. The story still develops as the previous movies did, quite unpredictable, with all those very crazy stuff of comedies. In a way, this doesn't bring anything new to the whole series. Also there seems to be a significant shift of orientation in this movie towards the more family movie genre. The movie shows a lot of family values. Even the final goal is about family acceptance. But I don't think this move paid off because it instead contradicts the crazy comedies the series has been known for. The acting overall is just as standard, and a little lower compared to the previous movies. Kal Penn and John Cho doesn't really develop the relationship between their characters further.

Rich Wright Harold and Kumar need a new joke book. Pretty much all the material here... about drugs, sex, religion, race... has been done before, in both their two previous pictures and in other 'adult' comedies... only better. The couple of exceptions are a scene where one of the hapless duo gets his genitalia frozen to a metal pole... have to say THAT'S original (Shame it's more cringeworthy than humorous, though). And a sequence set entirely in claymation while they're completely off their heads, which is inventive, if not really hitting the funny bone dead centre.Oh, I almost forgot... there's some added 3D moments for those who are 'lucky' enough to watch it on that format (I didn't). But honestly... if you miss out on seeing a doobie flying towards you, who cares? Neil Patrick Harris returns for his traditional cameo... we find out he faked his own death, faked being a homosexual and he HATES pancakes. ZZZZ. Moving on. They knock Santa Claus out of the sky, find out both of their partners are pregnant and celebrate Xmas by having a puff outside. How touching.Not destined to go down as a seasonal classic, I fear. 5/10

Tss5078 These movies just keep getting better and better. It's not that the story is any less ridiculous or raunchy, it's that the actors have gain experience. When the series started, both John Cho and Kal Penn were virtual newcomers, but now they've been in some big films and TV shows. The pair are much better actors than they were in the first film and are better equipped to pull off the ridiculousness. In their third film, Harold and Kumar have actually been estranged for a while. When a mysterious package shows up for Harold at Kumar's apartment, the two are brought back together and are forced to work together to solve a problem. Everything you saw in the first two films and everything you've come to love about Harold & Kumar are back, including THE Neil Patrick Harris. There aren't many surprises here, by now you basically know what you're going to get with these films. What is new, is the Director, Todd Strauss, who actually does add a few interesting things to the film. Harold and Kumar is a lot of laughs, in a ridiculous story, filled with drugs, tits, and alcohol. If you didn't like the first two films, you won't like this one any better, but for what it's worth, I dare you to watch it and tell me you didn't laugh out loud at least once.
