There are five new posters for the third instalment of the Harold and Kumar franchise, A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas 3D . The posters are cute and colorful, and the title is supposed to be some sort of hipster goof on Christmas specials of yore, but my question is, just who was clamoring for this movie? And why the hell is it in 3D? Is this really all anyone can think of to do with the talents of Neil Patrick Harris? Okay I guess that’s three questions.

The film stars John Cho as Harold and Kal Penn as Kumar. (Didn’t Penn famously quit “House” and acting to take a job in Obama’s White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs? What happened to that? The call to do this was just too impossible to resist?)

Mandate Pictures official synopsis: Six years have elapsed since Guantanemo Bay, leaving Harold and Kumar estranged from one another with very different families, friends and lives. But when Kumar arrives on Harold’s doorstep during the holiday season with a mysterious package in hand, he inadvertently burns down Harold’s father-in-law’s beloved Christmas tree. To fix the problem, Harold and Kumar embark on a mission through New York City to find the perfect Christmas tree, once again stumbling into trouble at every single turn.

Here’s a look at the trailer:

Okay, I laughed more at this than that trailer for the new Steve Martin movie.

Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, the cast  also includes Harris, Danny Trejo​​, Danneel Harris, Paula Garcés, David Krumholtz, Thomas Lennon, Patton Oswalt and Elias Koteas. A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas 3D arrives November 4.
