Blu-ray review: 'A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas'

No holiday custom goes unbesmirched, no ethnic or religious stereotype is left untapped, no boundary of good taste is untested in “A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas,” the third installment in the uproarious if uneven stoner comedy series.

The series' screenwriters, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, deserve credit for letting their characters grow up — well, sort of — which means they have more on their mind than finding the nearest burger joint where they can alleviate the munchies.

To start, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are no longer the close pals they were in their younger days. Always the more responsible of the pair, Harold has married and is trying to have a baby with the sweet and sexy Maria (Paula Garces), plus he has moved into a fancy house in the suburbs and taken a Wall Street job. Sure, he has to dodge egg-throwing Occupy protesters when he leaves work, but his life is otherwise quiet, stable and complete with a new best pal, his fussy neighbor Todd (Tom Lennon).
