“While I continue to object to 3D as a waste of time and money, I have to give it up to these filmmakers, who poke fun at the 3D itself, only to turn around and use it with more imagination and wit than any other film so far.” And the idea of state-of-the-art 3-D technology being used to fully immerse the audience in pot smoke works beautifully.Don’t laugh if I predict A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas turns out to be both one of the most earnest and subversive studio releases of the season.” “There are some inspired moments: When Kumar speculates that Harold’s father-in-law will be so happy upon seeing their new replacement tree that he will “jizz on it,” we see a brief Guy Ritchiean slo-mo shot of Danny Trejo furiously ejaculating onto a Christmas tree. Strauss-Schulson doesn’t want the extra dimension to fade into the background as an afterthought just as with the shameless showmen of 3-D’s original 1950s heyday, his vision of the medium is unabashedly in your face.” “Strauss-Schulson, directing his first feature, is never shy about going for the requisite excess - of either the franchise or the 3-D format - and the two aesthetics blend perfectly in one sequence that has plumes of cocaine falling like snow as Bing Crosby serenely croons “White Christmas. “The film’s director, Todd Strauss-Schulson, takes aggressive advantage of the 3-D format, sending all sorts of things shooting out at the audience: syrup, snow, streamers, a hat and lots of wacky-weed smoke….”

An all-out rave….This third H&K movie may be the wittiest, and liveliest, one yet…. And to honestly reflect my enthusiasm, I gave the movie the grade that I thought it deserved: a straight A. Maybe the best of the Harold & Kumar escapades. “This week, I saw A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, and I thought it was outrageously hilarious and, in its neo-’80s stoner-surreal way, a deeply clever and inspired movie.
