'Harold & Kumar' crushes it in first 'Christmas' trailer
It's August and it's sweltering outside. No matter where you live, I'm going to guess that the last thing from your mind right now is Christmas.
Allow me to change that.
Below, I present the first trailer from A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas thanks to Yahoo! Movies and you'll be singing Christmas carols before you know it. Or should I say A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas.
Yes, in case you missed it last year, we reported how this seemingly odd fit for 3D was indeed filming in 3D. Anyone who has been around this site for awhile can attest that I despise 3D with a passion and in the 14 months since this movie started filming the whole 3D craze has calmed down considerably, but I'm actually pretty stoked to see this in 3D.
I will let you experience the trailer for yourself and not spoil anything, but I've seen it five times and counting now and it just gets better. Sure, there's plenty of "3D gags" in there, but that's the point. They actually point out the absurdity of it at one point and I'm sure that the actual movie will contain even more.
Obviously John Cho and Kal Penn reprise their iconic characters from the first two movies, but the real centerpiece of the trailer is Neil Patrick Harris, who also returns to the series playing himself as he did in the previous two movies. This is particularly challenging as he has always played a machismo, womanizing version of himself and since the filming of Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo, NPH's homosexuality became widespread public knowledge.
So, the question was would Harold & Kumar address it or simply let it remain the elephant in the room? I won't spoil it, but the trailer does a hilarious job of answering that question.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas debuts in theaters on November 4, 2011. Let us know what your favorite part of the trailer is
