A HAROLD & KUMAR CHRISTMAS
4 out of 5 stars

didn’t see this one in 3D, but then again...did i really need to see harold and kumar’s christmas adventure around NYC in 3D? well...more like see harold’s penis get stuck to a frozen pole in 3D? dangit...don’t answer that. :P

funnier than what i was expecting! (well, i was expecting more of the same...just like the original) i guess it’s been almost 4 years since harold and kumar have stopped being friends and moved on with their respective lives... harold (john cho- can he be my future husband? :P) is now some corporate bigshot living the bigshot wall street life, married to his beautiful latin wife maria, and fending off occupy wall street protestors. kumar (kal penn) is...still kumar, and smoking that weed like snoop dogg’s indian equivalent. harold has bigger problems of his own though. his father-in-law, carlos (bad-ass danny trejo), decides to visit harold and maria for the holidays with the rest of the perez clan, and wants harold to decorate the tree carlos has been growing for the past 8 years. problem is... when a mysterious package containing a joint arrives, kumar delivers the thing to harold, kumar decides to smoke said joint, and harold decides to throw it out the window...the joint “accidentally” catches the carlos tree on FIRE. so, harold and kumar basically run around town trying to find a replacement tree...all the while crashing a HS girl/mob boss’s daughter’s christmas party, run into their old jew friends rosenberg and goldstein, participate in NPH’s christmas broadway production, AND earn themselves a loyal wafflebot. :P

NPH totally steals the show as a “gay” NPH, but then again so does wafflebot. (i totally want one now!) favorite scenes have got to be when harold and kumar get claymated, NPH’s scenes, and of course wafflebot’s scenes too! ohhhh, and lest not forget the harold and kumar homage to a christmas story? not your typical wholesome christmas tale, but if you don’t mind seeing babies get high, racist jokes re: latinos AND asians AND jews, and santa getting shot in the face... THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU THEN. merry christmas (in july)? :P
