More Detail:

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS is an abhorrent “Christmas” comedy promoted with the line “Get real naughty.” It continues the misadventures of two friends who used to bond over their love of marijuana, but haven’t spoken to each other in two years.

Harold has matured, become a stockbroker and gotten married to a woman from a large and devout Catholic family, while Kumar has remained drugged and irresponsible. When Kumar finds a mysterious box addressed to Harold outside his door, he goes to deliver it to his former friend. While there, however, he accidentally burns down Harold’s father-in-law’s beloved 8-year-old Christmas tree with an errant, burning marijuana cigarette.

Desperate to replace the tree before his wife’s family returns from Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, Harold hatches a plan with another friend to pick up the last remaining large fir tree in New York City, only to have that one destroyed as well through Kumar’s shenanigans. This leads to an elaborate series of twists as they hatch one badly planned escapade after another in order to get hold of another fir that will enable Harold to fool his family into thinking their beloved tree is still intact and in use. Along the way, there is frequent profanity, abuse of numerous drugs played for laughs, the endangerment of a toddler as she accidentally breathes in or ingests marijuana, cocaine and Ecstasy, and some very offensive imagery involving Catholic nuns and priests. There are also some innocent laughs to be had, mostly through an ample array of slapstick moments, car chases, funny shootouts, a musical number during a Rockettes-style show, and some funny scenes playing off racial stereotypes, misconceptions, and prejudices between races.

The movie sometimes respects Harold’s in-laws’ deep love of Christmas. In fact, their effect on him is shown positively, with Harold having a reconciliation with his father-in-law at the end. The problem is that no positive moments can come close to making up for the waves of vile content surrounding them, which includes attacks on Jesus from self-proclaimed homosexual actor Neil Patrick Harris.

For example, in addition to frequent crude language and situations, there’s a scene where Harris allegedly goes to heaven and encounters Jesus who has a drink and gets upset when Harris tries to make time with some scantily clad and bare-breasted women. There’s also a scene where Kumar fantasizes about nude Catholic nuns showering together and kissing. He also fantasizes about an altar boy teasing three Catholic priests who chase the boy. Finally, as in the previous movies, the third movie overtly promotes frequent marijuana use.

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS has a very strong pagan worldview making light of drug use. It’s filled with abhorrent irreverent humor, foul language, lewd content, and nudity that’s extremely crude and offensive. It’s an insult to Christians that this is being marketed as a “Christmas” movie.
