    "I thought you were gay?" "I am gay! Gay for that PUSSY!" That's gotta be some of the funniest shit I've ever heard. Nothing says Christmas like blunts, boobs, and Neil Patrick Harris. And midgets. I want all of the above for Christmas, got that St. Nick?

    A Christmas film where a toddler smokes pot, sniffs cocaine, and takes ecstasy. Harold also gets his dick frozen to a metal pole. If you can't find that funny then you are not the target audience.

    A lot funnier than I thought it'd be, and definitely less stupid than the first film, even if it's still fairly stupid. I'd never call it a "comedy masterpiece" and I'd never hold it up as an example for anything spectacular, but its self-awareness and absurd comedy is…

    Ho! Ho! Ho! Its a Christmas List, yo! Boy oh boy, talking about a movie that hasn’t aged that well and feels almost like a relic of its time. From the forced 3D gimmick that the movie constantly tries to shovel on you but becomes entirely ineffective when you don’t have…

    This was a pretty funny addition to the Harold and Kumar movies but not better than the second one. John Cho was still the standout, with his humor being the funniest. The plot was fine, nothing special and not as unique as the second. Overall a solid 7/10

    Better than the second one (in my opinion). Decent Christmas movie. Great to watch back to back with “The night before”

    Harold was hot in the movie. Neil's scene with the girl was so creepy and gross to watch. (5-23-26)

There are moments of brilliance, like a claymation sequence that manages to simultaneously send up '60s holiday cartoons and Ghostbusters'' (with Frosty the Snowman instead of Marshmallow Man).

This time the quest plot involves Asian-American pals Harold and Kumar chasing after a Christmas tree to replace one they've accidentally burned down, but that's only an excuse for the relentless barrage of tasteless gags, most of them damned funny.
