Though perhaps more hilarious to some folks than others. If the sight of a baby covered in powdered cocaine offends you, you are an idiot for having gone to a Harold and Kumar movie.

Harold and Kumar's Christmas movie is silly, if uneven, fun. While it mocks 3-D technology, it also makes relatively fresh use of it and qualifies as the most ambitious of the trio of films. It also pokes fun at tired holiday movie conventions. And for a three-quel about comically predictable altered states, its plot offers a few surprises.

For the third time around, Harold and Kumar are still hard to resist. It may be difficult to keep these characters fresh for another outing, yet you never know, I’m sure there is some wacky adventure that is just waiting to happen.

The upshot of this nonsense is crude and vulgar, of course – at times it makes The Hangover look like something by Ingmar Bergman – and what’s more, it’s crude and vulgar in a totally inappropriate way that not only insults several major religions (you should see what Jesus is up to in heaven) but glorifies the use of drugs, treats sex with callous offhandedness and is perfectly willing – not to say eager – to stop the proceedings to make jokes about private parts.

Sans être un bon long métrage, «A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas» demeure ce volet que les fans attendent avec impatience : un grand délire qui nivelle l'intelligence vers le bas, mais qui sait néanmoins divertir.
