The 3D is well handled – eggs explode on the camera lens, marijuana smoke floats from the screen into the audience. In his third Harold & Kumar comedy, the former child star Neil Patrick Harris of Doogie Houser, MD fame (billed as playing himself) does a wild turn as a sex-addicted singing star. Good - The disk has a high level of scratches that cover the disk. They're about religion (nuns in showers, paedophile priests, Christ phoning his father), sex and sexual embarrassment, drugs (a cute baby girl accidentally smokes pot, sniffs cocaine and swallows Ecstasy), obscenity and race (Harold and Kumar are equal opportunity satirists when it comes to racial stereotypes). Great - The disk has a mild level of scratches that may be in certain areas or covering the disk. This new one turns upon the couple's Christmas Eve hunt for a tree to placate Harold's fearsome Hispanic in-laws, and by comparison it makes Billy Bob Thornton's Bad Santa look as socially acceptable as the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College, Cambridge.Īs they go on their journey to the end of the night there are jokes to offend everyone, most but not all pretty coarse, and many misfiring. After years of growing apart, Harold and Kumar are preparing for their respective Christmas celebrations, when a mysterious package arrives at Kumars door. In the second one, which I didn't see but which is said to be infinitely more raunchy than its predecessor, they're mistaken by homeland security for terrorists.

W arner Bros has cannily entered two horses in the Christmas box-office stakes this year, both set in New York but each aimed at a different audience demographic: the inoffensively tasteful New Year's Eve, and this outrageously tasteless third film in the series featuring the accident-prone, spliff-smoking Asian-American friends.
