LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Bottom Line: This stoner comedy is offensive and crude, and that’s the point.

The Gist: In this third installment of the franchise, Harold has grown up, married, found a real job, and stopped smoking pot while Kumar has dropped out of medical school, lost his girlfriend and smokes lots of pot. The two friends reunite briefly, but Kumar burns down Harold’s wife’s father’s sacred Christmas tree. Thus, a quest is born to replace the perfect tree on Christmas Eve.

The Verdict: Skip it. The attraction of this film is its embrace of all things illicit and inappropriate, so can naked nuns be far behind? It has its funny moments, especially a cameo by Neil Patrick Harris that is spot-on. Disgusting, but spot-on. The rest of the film is “meh” even for a gross-out comedy.

Be Aware: Rated R. Hard R with animated nudity, language, drug use, sexual situations, pretty much everything an R can have. Teens will be attracted to this film, but it is absolutely not appropriate for children of any age, including teens. Which is exactly what makes it attractive, I’m fully aware.
