A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas' R
For some reason, stoner comedies amuse sometimes. They're just the right king of nonsense after a hectic period where it's fun to just watch some total fools acting madly insane for 2 hours on film. The Harold and Kumar series enters into a third installment with what is probably a more solid movie than the second one, where they went to Guantanamo. This time around, the dippy Korean guy has become a mildly successful businessman and is married to a hottie, while his Indian slacker friend is again down on his luck, and the two meet by fate through a mysterious package, that causes both intense comic moments, including the accidental torching of the favorite family Christmas tree. Now since they pay off their stereotypical stoner personae, and their race differences, it is important to mention one is Korean, Harold, and the other Indian, Kumar, because it plahys into the parts where they encounter a dippy white friend and his baby, which does some horrible things that make the Baby's Day Out kid look like Macauley Culkin. They also mock the gay entertainer stereotype in a hilarious cabaret scene, followed by a naughty backstage scene, and they mock Russian gangsters and bad ass Mexicans, and of course, Santa Claus. It is probably not for everyone and most anyone with a mild sense of humor may enjoy, but don't take it too seriously.
