A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas

Plot: Harold is married, and his father-in-law brought a home-grown Christmas tree, which Kumar burns down. Harold and Kumar need to replace the tree before Harold's wife and family get back from Midnight Mass. They buy another tree but it gets wrecked in a traffic accident, and then they run around town trying to get another while avoiding getting shot by mobsters.

Review: This is a light movie with some funny parts and lots of low-brow humor -- especially drug jokes and penis jokes. The first half hour is relatively intelligent, Rom-Com humor with Harold and his wife's family. I thought the film might have potential early. As the film progresses, the situation-comedy get more and more extreme and not as good.

In the middle, there are fifteen minutes of Neal Patrick Harris scenes that were pretty funny. 

I saw it in 2D, and we missed some scenes which were clearly only for 3D. I wish I would have seen it in 3D. 

The soundtrack had some interesting versions of Christmas songs, and a few may be worth downloading. Overall it is a likable, sophomoric movie.
