Movie Spoiler: Harold & Kumar
i'm not a very big movie goer or movie critic. i like what i like and hate what i hate. its as simple as that. as you know, a very harold & kumar 3D christmas came out this past week and my boyfriend and a couple friends decided to go see it.
first off, i would NOT go see this movie on my own. i've seen at least one of the first two and its just not the kind of movie i would go see.
the movie starts out with a mall santa asking kids what they want for christmas then kumar (i think)comes running into the scene and sits on santas lap and says all this stuff that i think is code for weed (he says he wants the wu tang chan to get back together) and then they meet in the parking lot and santa sells him pot and they smoke it.
anyways, the movie starts out with harold being a big hearted big shot who works at some big business firm in NYC and theres some guy who kisses his ass. he carpools to work with his straightedge friend and some protesters pee and egg on his car. harold gets home to his beautiful spanish wife who is basically like 'have sex with me right now before my family gets here' and they start to have sex on the stairs and the door bell rings. she runs upstairs and he answers the door and you see this hard looking typical spanish criminal like guy, her dad. hes a hard ass and criticizes his tree. blah blah blah, wife comes down stairs and is a typical daddys girl and then says 'and you brought the whole family' and the door opens and theyre like 20 of her brothers sister aunts uncles ect ect. and harold all worried about having enough room and this party hes gonna have while the wife is like 'invite kumar'
at some point they flash over to kumar and hes a dead beat living in a crap apartment and all he does is smoke pot. he has a friend walk in whos like 'this virgin wants me to deflower her at this party' and he convinces kumar to go with him. eventually this girl walks in and is like 'im pregnant' i think he name is venessa or something (i'm really bad at names) and shes looking for support from kumar and hes bakes so he cant and she walks out.
long story short, kumar finds this present outside his apartment that is for harold and he brings it to harolds house and harold is like 'oh come in' and he does and the present turned out to be a giant joint then kumar tries to smoke it and ends up setting harolds scary spanish father in laws tree on fire and then breaks the window so harold kicks him out. harold has to replace this tree and kumar tries to say sorry by trying to replace the tree and then kumar ends up buying the tree harold reserved and that tree ends up blowing up in a car accident. so kumar and his friend get harold and his friend to drive them to his party where hes gonna deflower that girl cause kumars friend said they could have the tree that was at the party. they go there and the girls dad turns out to be a mobster and he doesnt end up having sex with her so she tried to rape harold and then the dad walks in and thinks harold and kumar were raping her and they almost get shot. meanwhile the friends of harold and kumar get stuck in a closet and one of the friends has a baby and she ends up getting addicted to cocain. as harold and kumar get out of the mobsters party they inadvertently get high off cocain and become 'clay mated' and the movies in claymation for like the next 5 mins.
some other stuff happens ...
these a random pointless scene with topless nuns and theres neil patrick harris who is having some kind of broadway show who also explains how hes still alive and apparently in heaven he tried to steal jesus whores (who were topless, naturally), harolds dick gets stuck to a pole. blah blah blah.
the movie ends with harold shooting santa accidently, kumar fixes santa and santa is like 'i gave you wour present, being you two back together' and harold stands up to his scary father in law, kumar tried to make things right with his baby mama and harold find out his wife is pregnant.
this is what i have to say about this movie!
it was basically what i expected. yet, i was very satisfied when there weren't as many naked women as i thought would be.
i, personally, hate most movies cause their will always be a pointless scene of a woman either topless, naked, or in skimpy lingerie. i cannot stand that, it makes me sick, the exploitation of women in movies is disgusting. i feel like the girls get a proposition like this 'yeah you can be in the movie but your gonna have to get naked.' and the fact that girls are willing to do that also makes me very upset. its like they have no respect for themselves. and don't come at me like 'it makes women feel more powerful and comfortable with their body' cause thats not true, they want you naked so they can make you a sex object and thats it. its not 'tasteful,' it pornography. yeah, you get paid good money for it, but how can showing yourself to millions of people make you feel good about yourself?
overall, considering the movie was not as bad as i expected. i will give a very harold & kumar 3D christmas a 2 start rating.
