Kal Penn looks old tired and a bit fat here - which I guess gives his character some depth, but makes him sad rather than fun to be around. This does deal with the aging juvenalia of it's two leads - Harold is settled down, working and trying to have a baby, while Kumar is a bit lost.
I'm not a big fan of stoner comedy, but there is some hilarious stuff in here, like a baby on cocaine, Harold's Mexican relatives, and dealing with Snta. Neil Patrick Harris re-appears, doing a musical number (funny) and making fun of his status as a gay role model (the gag here is he's only pretending - not funny). The movie makes fun of all races equally - Jews, Indians, Koreans, Russians. Like many boysie comedies it seems to find women who want sex of men and men being reluctant to do it very funny.
