Six Years have passed, and Harold and Kumar are now living very different lives. Kumar is still a pot head, and his apartment and his life are a total mess. But Harold is married and living in a great home and working in an office. His wife’s family, especially the father-in-law who doesn’t like him very much is coming to visit and brought the perfect Christmas tree. Harold and Kumar don’t see each other anymore. But on Christmas Eve when a strange package addressed to Harold arrives at the door of Kumar’s apartment, he decides to bring it over in person. While there, he burns down the perfect tree, and the two of them set off on a quest to find a replacement tree, all over Manhattan half the night. The movie is their travels all over town from one disaster to another to try to replace the tree.

This film was very funny! In fact, this was much better than I expected, and a vast improvement over the last one. We know these characters already, so they get right down to the humor from the very start. The jokes are rapid fire, and certainly there were a bunch of things I didn’t see coming. The jokes are really funny. The 3D is a real plus, simply because it’s cheesy. They joke around with the 3D effects and make fun of themselves all the while. This is what makes it really worthwhile to watch in 3D so you can be in the middle of the cheesy effects. There are some funny cameos too. Neil Patrick Harris is back again, and hysterical as the lead character in the Christmas Extravaganza. Now, Neil got killed in the last film, but we find out how he survived as well. It’s an adult film, for sure. There are some outrageous things, like a drug addicted baby, the Russian Mafia, and even a White Castle.

This was a fun film to watch in the theater, and I enjoyed it very much. I’m pretty sure it’ll be worth it to catch it on the big screen in 3D, so I’m sure the small screen DVD will work, but the humor is real, and it is a funny film. I enjoyed it a lot.
