If you do not enjoy stoner comedies, this will not change your mind.

If you do--which I do, even though I don't partake--this is pretty fun.

I feel like I saw this in 3D, but maybe not? It is probably the weakest of the Harold and Kumar movies, but still pretty good.

I also saw it in 3D! I have a picture of me with the ticket that pops up on my phone every year.
