Still raunchy, still irreverent, and still hit-and-miss, this Harold & Kumar outing also has a Christmas miracle: The audience gets to see the sweeter side of the duo.

An extended bit featuring a strung-out toddler borders on offensive and isn't amusing in the slightest, so much of the picture leaving me as cold as an Arctic winter. Go to Full Review

Not nearly as subversive as it purports to be, but fittingly witty and wintry nonetheless. Go to Full Review

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas's slacker posturing belies a rare comedic rigour. It takes brains to be this thick. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Better than the overly political first sequel but more labored than the carefree original, the third Harold & Kumar film won’t go down as a Christmas classic or the entry needed to revitalize this series anew. Go to Full Review

Bob P 1d Stupid, immature, stoner, sex comedy. Directly disrespects holy Mother Mary. I couldn't watch much of it. Blasphemous trash! See more Jens B @Jens97 5d Anyone who, after watching Seth Rogen's "The Night Before," thinks, "Hmm. Well, it was a decent setup, but it was never fully realized and just kind of simmered on the sidelines," should look back four years and enjoy "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" (in 3D!!). Personally, I think this Christmas adventure of the two goofballs has aged remarkably well. If you grew up in the 2000s and 2010s, are a fan of "New Kids" and Seth Rogen, and are looking for a wacky Christmas movie, then you should definitely check this one out. I laughed a lot, and loudly. See more Cade H. @cholton Jun 29 It’s not good but you should have known that simply from the title and concept. It is a fun type of bad though, so if you like a pointless story that might make you chuckle a few times, give it a watch. See more Alex S Jan 24 The dynamic between Kal Penn and John Cho is one of the few redeeming factors for Harold & Kumar’s third Christmas-themed installment. However, the film takes a rather over-the-top turn, especially during the era of 3D films in theaters, transforming this film into a slightly absurd, bigger-budget blockbuster that loses touch with what made the first film feel like a whole new generation of Cheech and Chong infused with American Pie as the cherry on top. Grading: C+ See more Mark J 12/24/2024 Exactly what you want from this sort of movie, some laughs, some stupidity and bit of claymation. Also like the cast and Christmas vibes. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 12/22/2024 Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, o elenco é legal, gostei de novo da dupla harold and kumar, desta vez harold tem que pegar uma árvore de Natal para seu sogro espanhol, teve cenas que eu gostei como a garotinha que cheirou cocaína sem querer e ficou meio louca, a parte em que o harold kumar gruda seu pau no poste, e também a cena em que o neil Patrick Harris morreu no segundo filme e fala que conversou com Jesus e depois fica com duas prostitutas, essa cenas foram boas e teve outras coisas de roteiro que também foram boas, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme, vale a pena assistir.
