If you thought Piranha 3D or any of the countless horror films getting done up in the third dimension were gimmicky, wait until you see the first trailer for A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. The boys are back and they’ve exploited the format to the maximum amount, guided by director Todd Strauss-Schulson. John Cho, Kal Penn, and Neil Patrick Harris all return, with newcomers to the franchise Patton Oswalt, Elias Koteas, and Thomas Lennon joining. It looks dumb as humanely possible, which is exactly what I expect. In the midst of Oscar hopefuls and fall film festivals, this should be a nice break. Check out the new trailer below via Yahoo.
Synopsis:
After years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar’s door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold’s house ends with the “high grade” contents — and Harold’s father-in-law’s prize Christmas tree — going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven — and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas hits theaters on November 4th, 2011.
