While doing so, they get involved with Ukrainian mobsters, a waffle-making robot and a Christmas pageant starring Neil Patrick Harris.Īctor Kal Penn, 34, reprises his role as Kumar after taking a sabbatical to work for President Barack Obama in the White House Office of Public Engagement. This time, the dope-smoking friends - now estranged and each with new sidekicks - reunite to replace a prized Christmas tree Kumar accidentally burned down.
Actors John Cho (L) and Kal Penn pose for a portrait while promoting their upcoming movie 'A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas' in Beverly Hills, California October 30, 2011.
