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.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 2/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Ahmed Peerbux Little White Lies Not nearly as subversive as it purports to be, but fittingly witty and wintry nonetheless. Rated: 3/5 Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas's slacker posturing belies a rare comedic rigour. It takes brains to be this thick. Rated: 4/5 Dec 8, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com If you're easily offended this isn't the film for you. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Beatriz Maldivia Espinof This new film is not nearly at the same level as the first two films of the series.

thiago s 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Audience Member im very happy and glad that Harold and Kumar made me laugh hard again even after 10 years the X-Mas theme had me worried but the writers have strung together a hilarious, random and out-of-proportion sequel and Im glad they brought back Neil Patrick Harris otherwise it wouldnt be a Harold and Kumar movie at all this movie literally breaks the fourth wall and get ready to have your suspension of reality and logic tested b/c it doesnt apply here one bit and the best part about this 3rd movie is that it's got heart, they really do take the time to sit down and have Harold and Kumar have some heart-to-heart discussions its the holidays and if weed, crack, cocaine, blood and crude humor get you in the spirit of the holidays then by all means go check out this movie! :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review cbcguy A fine Christmas movie to add to your collection, but like the second one, it's kind of a step down from the previous. It's still a 7/10 movie in my opinion, but after how chaotic the second one was it's kind of impossible to top it. Maybe I had my expectations set too high for a Harold and Kumar Christmas movie. I still love this franchise though and can't wait for the 4th film, as the people involved have expressed heavy interest in getting to work on it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Chris F This is probably the weakest of the three films, but I still enjoyed it. The chemistry between the two leads feels just as good today as it did in the original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Ryan Fun fun fun. Sit back and enjoy the naughty, yule-tide festivities Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Jonathon K I watch it every year Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
